FILM 2106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Thaumatrope, Sans Soleil, Indexicality
Document Summary
The animaion documentary has been around for a while. Animaion is a reconstrucion (so is live-acion)/recreaion that implies a falseness. Animaion, though, someimes allows for events that you weren"t able to capture to sill be accurately portrayed. Memory: animaion can only allude, not accurately represent, memory. The non-present: that which is not immediately present or visible. Certain associaions we have with animaion: ficion, children"s ilms (i. e. disney) The problem of the imaginaion for documentary: sans soleil created imaginary characters to get his message across. Austerity and sobriety vs playfulness and fantasy: discourse of sobriety downplays the emoion, efecive, excess, display, spectacle, so that it"s more measured, toned down, Indexicality = words like i whose meaning changes depending on the person saying it. The problem of the subjuncive (something as it might have happened) Condensaion -> lots of images and everything condensed into a single ilm through animaion (efecive) Illustraion -> illustraion is very important to pedagogy.
