Film Lesson Proper

Film began as "motion pictures" using early technologies like serial photography and celluloid film strips to capture successive still photos of moving subjects. Devices like the Kinetoscope allowed viewing these early "movies" individually through peepholes. The Cinematographe combined a camera, printer, and projector into one portable device. Filmmaking involves collaborative teams across areas like directing, cinematography, acting, editing, production design, and more under a director's supervision. Different film genres developed like silent films, gangster movies, horrors, westerns, and more. Notable Filipino filmmakers and their works include Lino Brocka, Mike de Leon, Ishmael Bernal, Peque Gallaga,

Film

• It’s early name “motion pictures” because of


moving images
Cinema
• It is an art form that came into being because of
technological advances.
• The transition from still photography came in
the late 1800s with “series photography” and
the invention of celluloid strip film
• This allowed successive still photos of a moving
subject to be captured on a strip of film
advancing through a single camera.
Kinetoscope
•A peepshow cabinet with an eyehole
through which these earliest “movies”
could be viewed one person at a time.
•A motor inside the cabinet moved the
film strip along in a loop, with an
electric bulb providing illumination
from beneath.
Cinematographe
-Developed by French
A hand cranked camera, printer,
and projector all in one that was
lightweight enough to bring
outside the studio
The Collaborative Art of Filmmaking

It involves entire teams of artists,


writers, and production experts,
supported by technicians taking charge
of the cameras, lighting equipment,
sets, props, costumes, and the like—all
under the supervision of a film
director.
Film directing
The film director works with ideas, images,
sounds, and other effects to create this
unique piece of art. He or she conceptualizes
the scenes, directs the acting, supervises the
cinematography and finally the editing and
sound dubbing in much the same way as a
visual artist composes an artwork.
Acting
Film actors had to learn to
express themselves without
the exaggerated facial
expressions and gestures
used on stage.
Cinematography
This captured the director’s
vision of each scene through
camera placement and
movement, lighting, and other
special techniques
Editing
The art of selecting the precise sections of
film, then sequencing and joining them to
achieve the director’s desired visual and
emotional effect.
Sound editing was also developed, as film
began to include more ambitious effects
beyond the dialogue and background music
Production/Set design
Location, scenery, sets, lighting,
costumes, and props.
The mental image that the director had
of how each scene should look, what
period it should depict, and what
atmosphere it should convey.
