PICTURES

4. What is Motion Picture?
series of still
photographs on film,
projected in rapid
succession onto a
screen by means of
light. Because of the
optical phenomenon
known as persistence
of vision, this gives the
illusion of actual,
smooth, and
continuous movement
The motion picture is a
remarkably effective
medium in conveying
drama and especially in
the evocation of emotion.

5. A Walk through the History
of Motion Picture

6. • Setting Photography in Motion
–Experimenting with ways to exhibit photographs, several inventors
came up with a simple toy that made it possible for a series of pictures
to be viewed in rapid succession, creating the illusion of motion. It was
called a ZOETROPE.
•

7. • A wager
-Scientific American published a series a series of pictures depicting a
horse in full gallop, along with instructions to view them through the
Zoetrope.

8. • Rudimentary Projector
zoogyroscope- a sequential photo projector

9. • 12 Pictures per Second
Etienne-Jules Marey , studies of animals in motion drove him to
experiment with photography, and he fashioned a camera that
could take 12 pictures per second of a moving object. The technique
called chronophotography .

10. • The Kinetograph
kinetograph- a primitive picture camera
kinetoscope- a machine that could project the moving images onto
a screen.

11. • Everyday Images
cinematographe- a projector that could show 16 frames per second.

12. Types of Motion Pictures

13.  Documentary
mode incorporate those films relying primarily on cinemas power
to relay events in the world.
 Experimental
includes the variety of approaches that have listed and played with
the technological limits and capabilities of the medium,. Including
animated (non photographic) and computer generated images.
 Fictional
this film is based on imagination of the writer of the film. The
characters and events help convince the audience that the film is real.
The audience assume that the characters and the events is really
happening in the reality.

14. Essential Characteristics of Motion
Pictures
• Intensity, intimacy, ubiquity
The qualities of intensity, intimacy, and ubiquity have been singled
out as the salient characteristics of the motion-picture image.
Its intensity derives from its power to hold the complete attention of
the spectator on whatever bit of reality is being shown.
The intimacy of the film image is related to the camera's ability to see
things in greater detail than the eye can.
The impression of ubiquity—being everywhere at once—is
achieved in part by the camera's apparent freedom to move from place to
place or to approach or withdraw instantaneously.

15. • Particularity
The language of words lends itself to generalization and abstraction.
Motion pictures, on the other hand, only show particular things and may
also be ambiguous in that it shows but does not explain.
• Neutrality
The world people see around them is strongly influenced by their
emotions and their interests.

16. What are the
Advantages of Motion
Picture?

17. They draw attention of the students.
They help to bring past to the classroom.
 It is possible to reduce or enlarge the size
of the object by using the machine.
They can be used to show a process which
a naked human eye cannot see without
its aid.

18.  They can be used to show a record of
an event.
 They can serve a large class at a time.
 They provide a good aesthetic
experience.
 They help in understanding
relationship between things, ideas
and events.

19. What are the
Disadvantages of Motion
Picture?

20. •Fixed Pace-cannot be interrupted.
•Still Phenomena- motion picture is sometimes
unsuitable to other topics such as those involving a
map, a writing diagram, etc.
•Misinterpretation- in documentaries and
dramatization, especially, intended messages are quite
deep and complex. Because of that young viewers
who lack of maturity tend to misinterpret the
message.
•Cost- equipment and materials for motion media are
expensive (e.g. DVD Player, Television, Computers
and etc.)
