Film in the simple sense of the word refers to the technol-ogy of film (“Film,” n., def. 3b), which, prior to a digital age, was generally used to define form (as the term is used herein); and art implies a focus on the production form in addition to its resulting “text.”.
i) Focus and contemporary film style. Shallow focus, blur, lens flare and micro close-ups are increasingly prevalent in contemporary film. Films such as Wuthering Heights (2011), American Honey (2016), Revenge (2017) and Madeline’s Madeline (2018), for instance, all make extensive use of such devices – though they can be found in many ...

Globally, emerging technologies have been employed to provide distance education and training to thousands of schools at all levels (Ding, 1994; Chronicle of Higher Education, 2000; Keegan, 1994; Simonson et al, 2000; US Department of Education, 1995). Despite the proliferation of distributed, interactive video systems for instruction, students con...
Foundational Concepts
Film theorists, directors, and cinematographers have struggled throughout this century to understand the development of filmic meaning through the concepts of narrative, apparatus and ideology (Rosen, 1986). How does one tell a coherent story given frames of visual information that can be sequenced and cut and edited in virtually any order? How does one use the features of the camera apparatus (e.g., the lens or the use of light) to portray certain actions or emotions or to capture natural ef...
The Apparatus of Distributed Video Environments
Features of the camera apparatus used by the filmmaker or videographer are available in rudimentary form to anyone using a two-way video studio or web-based video conferencing tools. Two-way compressed video systems commonly used for distance education include the following features: 1. two adjacent large 50-inch video screen monitors attached to the video compression output sources (the cameras in the origination and remote site classrooms) and, 2. a computer and videotape player which can b...
Lights - Camera - Interaction! Participants as Co-Producers of A Distributed Video Class
Located in a sparsely populated rural region of a southeastern state, Mountain State College has developed a distance education program supported by an integrated state telecommunications system. Over the past six years the distance components of their teacher preparation program have grown and many schools in which practicum students are placed have two-way compressed video classrooms which were set up as part of a multi-million dollar federal grant. Seventeen students in three locations had...

Morality and Entertainment: The Origins of the Motion Picture Production Code. Stephen Vaughn. Few new technologies have affected communication and society more profoundly than motion pictures. A "far more elastic medium" than the stage, movies made ideas previously restricted to comparatively small groups of readers and urban theatergoers ...
May 1, 2008 · Share. Issue Section: Articles. Here are two obvious and widely known facts about one way films are made. First, many films are made by a process that involves two levels of representation. Actors, with the aid of sets, props, and perhaps some live special effects, act out the events the film seeks to narrate.
The development of motion picture complexity has been driven by a continuing technological evolution, ignited and manipulated by human initiative and inventiveness, which has afforded filmmakers the opportunity to practice a more complex craft to tell more complex stories. In concert with societal attitudes and proximity, this evolution has ...
