The "secret" hide between the film

I am persistently optimistic for the future of stories told on film. I am even more certain that the cinema with wide screen, amply nourished with luminance, its stereophonic sensual sound, with its comfortable seats, or to be exalted by sounds and sights of the human condition, offers the viewer entertainment experience cannot be duplicated in the living room of any home. If you can   get to know the "secret" hide between the film, I think you will "see" film in ways that never crossed your consciousness before. Film is the art of the world that we can share easily with all other people. Film is now, it is in tune with the present. It help is view the world in a new way. Director D.W.Griffith, known best for The Birth of a Nation (1915), he said" The task I am trying to achieve is, above all, to make you see." Film shows us what it is like to be human and showing real life happens.

 

Actually every filmmakers have their own magic, they use their magic on the film but you didn't know that. Ask yourself these question, do you like to see films because they are exciting, with lots of adventure and fast action? Or do you like films because they seem so real? Filmmakers employ the cut to direct our attention from one scene to another scene. As we watch the film, the change from one scene to the next scene is called a transition. The joining of one scene to another scene and the way in which scenes form a sequence may seem simple enough, but the cut in a film is one of the most powerful of the filmmaker's visual magic. It allows us to move in time and space as we view a scene. 

                                                 " Establishing shot "

                                                  " Very Wide shot " 

                                                      " Wide shot " 

The filmmakers uses different kinds of shots to create variety and contrasts. An establishing shot, or long shot, often comes at the beginning of a sequence to orient the audience to the general surroundings. Very wide shot is also much closely to establishing shot. In wide shot, the subject takes up the full frame. No one would like to be cutting the top of the head off. It will look uncomfortable if his head and feet were exactly at the top and bottom of frame.

" Medium close up "

" Close up "

" Extreme close up  "

Then as a contrast, a filmmaker will often use a medium shot followed by medium close up, close up, extreme close up. These shot show the face more clearly, to close up a person emphasizes their emotional state.

 

 

  

                                              

 

Editing is one of the most significant steps in the making of a film. It involves selecting the best of all angles and the shots provided by the director, choosing the best shooting, and uniting them into scenes and sequences with appropriate pacing and timing. When film editing is well done, viewers will not be aware of cuts or transitions. Every minute of film you watch in cinema, on television, on DVD, represents literally thousands of hours of preparation time. When you add together the hours of rehearsing, shooting, and editing, the total is staggering.   

 

Is being a film director as much fun as it looks? Not it's not exactly fun at all, it's like Martha Coolidge, director of a string of critically acclaimed films, including Valley Girl said:"It's a little bit like the most amazing make believe game you played as a kid, combined with being the general of an army going into battle and a practicing psychiatrist." "It's the director's vision that shapes the film"says Stanley Ackerman, a retired official of the Director Guild of U.S.
