The Brief

Our brief was to produce a film for a younger audience. We had a look at different themes that we could use. The main themes that were mentioned was drama/horror and comedy. From there we thought of stories that we could do, such as, a comedy about a guy who goes out with several girls at the same time. He runs from restaurant to restaurant. At the end of it, he goes home and you realise he has a wife. She wants him but he is too tired to. This story was more comedic with the script rather than the actual story.

History Of Film

History of Film
We learnt about the History of film, different styles and techniques. It first originated from cave paintings and shadow plays from china in the eleventh century.The daguerreotype process was the first method of getting permanent images with a camera. The man who gave his name to the process was called Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, a French artist and scenic painter. In England, at the same time as Daguerre ,Henry Fox Talbot created his own photographic process known as the Talbotype.It wasn't until a Dutch Physisist named Plateau around the 1870's, suggested combining the photographic images with the Zoetrope, or Phenakistiscope that real images, rather than paintings, could be used. In order to create movement, photgraphers had to positon and repositon a model.
Some of the vocabulary used in this lesson was:
· Deep focus
· Shadow focus
· Matte
· Metonymy
· Synecdoche
