Document Summary
Television and film require that we work not only a spatial field, but a space time field too. Vector fields are not static, but are constantly changing within a shot or from shot to shot. The four dimensional field has basic elements: the theories and modes of time and motion. Time in tv and film can be described as a horizontal time vector. Time moves from past to present to future. The past and future are objective, the present is subjective (cid:862)o(cid:271)je(cid:272)tive(cid:863) ti(cid:373)e dire(cid:272)tio(cid:374) is represe(cid:374)ted (cid:271)y a horizo(cid:374)tal ve(cid:272)tor. Number of event details that occur within a brief period of clock time is event density. A high energy event will be very dense with many things happening. A low energy event will not be so dense. A movie or t sequence with many brief shots and shifts in pov is very dense. Some event seem to carry more energy than others.
