Eric Hagadorn 3/15/2016 Dr. Ruth Martin U.S. History and Literature Inventor Britisher Eadweard Muybridge, an early photographer, was famous for his photographic studies of animals and people at the end of the 19th century. In June, 1878, he successfully conducted an experiment in California using a multiple series of cameras to record the horse galloping. The Horse in Motion was the first motion picture, using only 12 frames. Muybridge 's pictures, published widely in the late 1800s, were…

the story or film or what it is about essentially such as love, or racism or political issues; secondly, another component of film is the focus of character. Characters are known as the “individuals who populate narrative or non-narrative films” (westga.edu/~bjames/componentsoffilm), they are the people we put the focus on at the beginning and end of the film, the ones we all analyze and try to relate to in some sense. Now setting and point of view kind of go hand in hand in terms of film as…

Although it was awhile yet until the appearance of film, ‘time-based art’ was also beginning to emerge. Muybridge’s 1878 photographs of horses in motion are an early notable example. In order to capture a horse’s running, Muybridge set several cameras in a line and photographed images moments apart as the horse passed by. The photographs taken together create the illusion of movement. This idea of ‘freezing time’ was the first notion of film, a medium that would come to fundamentally change the…

use of shafts of light." David Dryer, one of the special photographic effects supervisors, worked with black-and-white prints of most scenes in the film for one reason or another, and almost wishes the film could be released in black-and-white. He thinks it seems to have even more depth and style in black-and-white. Needless to say, this would not do justice to Cronenweth's work, but it is an indication of the way in which the photographic style of the picture harks back to classic movies.…

have already seen that photography carries a connotation of realism, film is not burdened with the same notions. A documentary film is labeled as such, to distinguish from the cannon of narrative and pictorial fiction. In the early decades of cinema, a period which media theorist Thomas Gunning terms ‘The Cinema of Attractions’, audiences were amazed by projections of films that were illusionistic in quality. These early films based themselves on an “ability to show something” that astounded…

Hiroshi Sugimoto, born in 1948 and raised in Tokyo, Japan, is a famous photographer. Sugimoto’s earliest photos were photographed while he was in high school.

The film I have been assigned is called “Days of heaven” and it was directed by Terrence Malick. Days of heaven was released September 13th, 1978. I wasn’t very fond of Days of heaven, because although the art and scenery of the movie are well crafted that is not all it takes for a movie to be perceived as good. Unfortunately, due to the lack of dullness of the story itself I cannot acclaim Days of heaven a good movie. The film in my personal opinion is very bland and boring, despite the…
