From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are produced by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement. The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photo-play and flick. A common name for film in the United States is movie, while in Europe the term cinema is preferred. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema and the movies. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Should I start my career in film by attending film school? Q. I've always wanted to work in the film-movie industry. Lately I decided to attend a 2-year film school when I turn 18, but some of my friends discourage me from doing this. They say film school is money-wasting, that using that money to make a movie is even better! I'm very confused, if not attending a film school then what should I do?? Are there any other ways than going to film school? Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks very much in advance! Asked by Liver - Fri Aug 7 20:57:45 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you grew up around filmmakers, and have already learned everything they know about film making, then maybe you don't need film school. Otherwise, you should go to "film school." Note that there are various universities with which you can choose film as your major, so you'd still get a full, well-rounded college education, and also learn what you need about making films.

I just happen to have some 12 year old tri X and also some color films that are that old. Ah, but mine is all 120 If you have a combination of sun and fog, when the sun is rising and burning off the fog, you can try some Extachrome rated for Tungsten. It will probably be at ISO 64, but you can shoot it at 100 and there would be only a little over-exposure, enough to make it interesting. You shoot it outside in the daylight and it will give you an eerie blue look that makes pictures very interesting.
