  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Lars Von Trier's Critique of the Musical Genre
    Ken Woodgate ‘Gotta Dance’ (in the Dark): Lars von Trier’s Critique of the Musical Genre This chapter investigates Lars von Trier’s critique of the musical in his film Dancer in the Dark (2000) both through various aspects of the outer musical itself and through the obvious refer- ences to the classic Broadway/Hollywood musicals 42nd Street and The Sound of Music. Particu- larly important is the cross-cultural perspective: the outer musical presents a European’s view of America which is counterposed to an Americanised view of Europe. The outer musical serves to discredit the inner ones, and hence the film argues against the musical genre. Nevertheless, a metacritical reading of the film will identify the limits of von Trier’s dismissive critique. Of all genres of performance, the musical must be the most self-referential. Putting on a show is, along with falling in love, the musical’s favorite theme. Actors who spontaneously burst into song gain some kind of credibility if they are seen to be mounting their own song-and-dance show. But the ease with which the musical mirrors itself might well be seen, from a rationalistic point of view, as a form of theatrical narcissism, or even syllogism. Does the classic musical say anything, apart from the fact that it is fun to sing and dance? And given that the vast majority of people in the modern industrial- ised world choose to avoid public performances of dancing and absolutely all performances of singing, it could easily be argued that the musical’s promise of fun is simply an illusion of an illusion, an indulgent celebration of theatri- cal posturing.

  • Dogme 95 and the Representation of Reality Zsolt Gyenge Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (Hungary) Email: [email protected]
    Acta Univ. Sapientiae, Film and Media Studies, 1 (2009) 6979 Illusions of Reality and Fiction or the Desired Reality of Fiction: Dogme 95 and the Representation of Reality Zsolt Gyenge Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (Hungary) email: [email protected] Abstract. The paper identies a two channel strategy developed by the authors of the Danish Dogme lms having as goal the generation of the illusion of reality. The rst channel is aiming at the visual layer of the movies, which shows a rm decision to break with the style of the traditional ction lms. The second channel of this strategy is concerned with the narration of the lms. In this regard Dogme contrary to what had been declared in the Vow of Chastity chose one of the most popular lm and TV genres: melodrama. On the one hand Dogme lms created a highly self-reexive visual style and then they combined it on the other hand with a genre which calls for extreme audience identication. Documentarism and deeply conventionalized stories are put together in most Dogme lms to create the reality of ction. Movie is not an illusion states the Manifesto,1 and thus it makes us clear that the movement tries to say something about one of the major themes of cinema and lm theory (and of visual communication in general): the representation of reality. It is well known that the initiators of Dogme 952 1The two founding documents of the Dogme 95 are the Manifesto and the Vow of Chastity. Until recently they were to be found on the ocial website (www.dogme95.dk) of the movement, which in February 2009, during the nal revision of this paper, became unavailable.

  • Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
    Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms.

FLORIANÓPOLIS: UFSC, 2017. 169 P. Ana Paula dos Santos1 Júlio França2 A aclamada série de televisão Twin Peaks (1990-1991), idealizada por David Lynch e Mark Frost, narra a investigação de um estranho assassinato que choca os moradores de uma pacata cidade do interior dos Estados Unidos. A vítima é Laura Palmer, uma estudante de dezessete anos que fora assassinada após sofrer agressão física e sexual. A investigação do crime é conduzida pela polícia local com o auxílio do agente do FBI Dale Cooper, e acaba revelando um lado sombrio da personalidade da vítima. Laura era sem dúvida uma jovem gentil, responsável e caridosa, mas também estava envolvida com traições e adultério, drogas e prostituição. A descoberta dessa vida dupla faz vir à tona outros segredos obscuros da cidade de Twin Peaks: entre os crimes e as transgressões cometidos às escondidas pelos moradores estão tráfico de drogas, violência doméstica, aliciamento de menores e exploração sexual – apenas para citar alguns exemplos. Além desses horrores, Cooper precisa lidar também com as forças sobrenaturais que povoam a cidade: entidades misteriosas aparecem nos sonhos do agente do FBI sob a forma de anões e gigantes, e até mesmo um duplo de Laura Palmer revela pistas que ajudam a desvendar o crime. Cooper descobre, então, que o próprio assassino de Laura estava possuído por uma entidade maligna responsável pela tortura e morte de outras adolescentes. Ao final do caso, as palavras do agente para a mãe de Laura ajudam a personagem – e também os espectadores – a aceitar os estranhos acontecimentos relacionados à morte da jovem e à própria cidade de Twin Peaks: “Sra.

  • Negotiating the Non-Narrative, Aesthetic and Erotic in New Extreme Gore
    NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Colva Weissenstein, B.A. Washington, DC April 18, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Colva Weissenstein All Rights Reserved ii NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. Colva O. Weissenstein, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Garrison LeMasters, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is about the economic and aesthetic elements of New Extreme Gore films produced in the 2000s. The thesis seeks to evaluate film in terms of its aesthetic project rather than a traditional reading of horror as a cathartic genre. The aesthetic project of these films manifests in terms of an erotic and visually constructed affective experience. It examines the films from a thick descriptive and scene analysis methodology in order to express the aesthetic over narrative elements of the films. The thesis is organized in terms of the economic location of the New Extreme Gore films in terms of the film industry at large. It then negotiates a move to define and analyze the aesthetic and stylistic elements of the images of bodily destruction and gore present in these productions. Finally, to consider the erotic manifestations of New Extreme Gore it explores the relationship between the real and the artificial in horror and hardcore pornography. New Extreme Gore operates in terms of a kind of aesthetic, gore-driven pornography. Further, the films in question are inherently tied to their economic circumstances as a result of the significant visual effects technology and the unstable financial success of hyper- violent films.
