cinematography : 01-02



Is it only me of was the moon smiling down at me?

To make pictures/ images - photograph or movies, we need light and photosensitive surface, well the needs are the same today too, it awesome

Next is the optical and chemical process that needed to be figured out. N thus cinematography was on for films.

Alice Guy Balance was the 1st women director, n did more then 400 movies, and she is the one who actually named crew positions.

Initially there were 2 genre of filmmaking:

The Documentaries and Realism: Lumiere

And Fantasy based: like Melis, more of spatial effects and larger then life.

The great train robbery actually had multiple exposures, where they taped a portion of the lens exposed, n then exposed for the rest while taping what was exposed earlier.

Usually cranked at 2 full cranks a minute, approx 16 - 24 Fps it came to approx.

Had sound come a while later, like even 10 years later film making would have evolved more visually

Film NOIR: dark film, it told it as it is, often has a unpleasant end, tells things as they are, no excuses, twisted, darker side of human nature as seen, French loved it.

E.g.: Murder my Sweet, Kiss me deadly, Double Indemnity
