For my new unit, i have decided to look at film. I was unsure of how to start this so i thought to myself what is film? It is a series of moving images.
I decided to start at the beginning, literally.
The Horse in Motion
Horse in motion is considered the first film, a man named Eadweard Muybridge set up cameras to try and capture images of a horse to prove if all 4 hooves came off the ground at one point in its galloping sequence. He set up wires to trigger the cameras to take the photo along a race track.
I decided to give this a go for myself i started by taking a photo on my phone using the burst setting to capture a class mate walking.
I then put it on the computer and tapped through them to see it in motion.
I actually tried my hand at this before in some stop frame experimenting by drawing each scene or making models and moving the between frames.
My next plan is to look at different techniques, or how it can be used in art, i am going to look at artist who use film and progress from there. I feel starting it like this helps, because i just needed to make a start somewhere to get the ball rolling!
