Media: Filmmaking Basics

Today in media arts class we began going over the basic film making terminology and discussing how a film or television show is made.  We'll be using much the same process in class with all of our projects including our next one, the montage project, which will help you get introduced to the equipment.  Above is one of my favorite film montage segments from the Pixar film UP which shows the relationship between the main character Carl and his wife Ellie.

Advanced Film: Montage

This week the advanced film class will be working on short films consisting of a montage of images and sound. There may or may not be a formal storyline but there should be no sound dialogue because we'll be working on the filming techniques, techniques for editing, image adjustments, color correcting, and other post production elements. Above is the the example we created in the Media Art Honor Society.
