Document Summary
Imagination and hard work of filmmakers: technology, complex set of machines that capture and transform images and sounds, film companies, companies or individuals that pay for the filmmakers and the technology. Led lighting: directors used this lighting after collateral was released, example of an artistic decision leading to new technology, common in flashlights, scoreboard displays and computer monitors. A film consists of a series of frames (still pictures). The projector shutter breaks the light beam once as a new image is slid into place. Thus each frame is actually projected on the screen twice. This raises the number of flashes to 48: apparent motion. If a visual display is changed rapidly enough, our eye can be fooled into seeing movement. There are two methods of filming a film: photographic film, definition: ribbon of still images, each one slightly different from its mates. Starts unexposed in a camera (negative), then is run through a projector.
