Brian's lessons Friday 25/02/16

Hi everyone, by the end of today's lessons you need to have completed a written article posted on the blog which focuses on editing for Unit 9.

Specifically, I want you to write an article based on, and including research about Early Cinema and Editing. The following is what you need to research and put in your article:

1. The article should be approx 500 - 750 words in length.

2. The article should include images (as magazine articles do) from films you are talking about.

3. Research Film with no editing circa 1870's film. Find out who was an early pioneer (inventor) of film and include them in your article as well as using my examples below.

4. Find out about and write about the Lumiere Brothers and their involvement in Film. Watch their films and write in the article about how they would have been ground breaking and innovative in their day!

See below: (1896)

(1895)

Be sensible here! What do these films show you? Talk about how the filming is static and there is no editing in the early days. Why not why do you think? How would audiences have seen this?

Then this happened in 1902...

Melies (1902) film titled: 'A Trip to the Moon'

look at all the editing moments and comment on them

Remember you have an article to write for Total Film on the beginnings of editing (500-750 words)

copy and paste the header of Total film and write in columns just as they do in reality and complete your article. The best one will win a prize when I see you next week!

Good luck and do not go until you are complete!
