Sound Films

In the sounds Films was the same idea of the cinema, because it was a combination of motion Pictures with recorded sound. On February 27, 1888, Eadweard Muybridge and Thomas Edison met each other. They don’t have any agreement, but in a year Thomas Edison develop the Kinetopscope as a visual complement to his cylinder phonograph. In 1899 the Cinemacrophonograph as created, this was a Project of sound-film, this was similar as the Kinetophone. This Project needs individual earphones.

The first publicly exhibited Films with images and Clement-Maurice Gratioulet and Henri Lioret of France presented recorded sound at the Paris Exposition in 1900.

Resident Evil 4

This movie is very interesting. First I thought that I wouldn’t like it, but when I saw it I realized that was very interesting, because the makeup and sounds.

This movie had a lot of sounds, because is of suspense and this type of movies had a lot of sounds like, doors opening, screams, noise of people. As we already know this sounds are recorded in the post- production.

Another thing that had this movie was the makeup, because was zombies, so they had to make it seems almost real and make the viewer belief that there were zombies.

To get a perfect project, all the group of film production had to be united and work together to make it good.

Filmmaking

The Filmmaking or Film production is a process of creating and making a film, for a script, storyboard until get the final product. This process happened during few month to several years to get the final task. This part of the film takes place all over the world and with a lot of range of economic, social and political aspects. They used techniques of recording images to film and videos.

The film production or Filmmaking had 5 stages:

· Development: Here is when the script has to be written and the storyboard.

· Pre-Production: Here is when started the preparations for the film, sets, decoration.

· Production: Here the law elements for the finished film are recorded.

· Post-Production: Here is when the film is edited, the sounds, the special; effects, the effects, the dialogue.

· Sales and distribution: The film is ready to be on screen and sell.

Casablanca

In this movie we can see the use of different shots and angles like: over the shoulder shot, high angle, medium shot, close-up, and many others. The director used this shots and angles to make the viewers interested on those details and angles that anyone could see.
The music in this movie is very interesting because in each scene of a different problem is a different intense of the music. The music was written by Max Steiner. The interesting music in this movie was the “Duel of songs”, between Strasser and Laszlo at Rick´s Café. When each character appears were a different song, and when the movie still goes on the intensity of the songs increase and here creates a duel. In this movie are a lot of songs created by different musicians like: Isham Jones, Cecil Mack, Al Jolson , etc.
Casablanca was a great movie for me, because in that time it had almost all the things that a film have to have, like lights, shots, angles, music, etc. The lights were very interesting too, because we can see that they used a lot of lamps to reflect like a suspicious set and with lamps they created shadows on the characters and made them more interesting.

Sound effects

This refers to all the sound elements that the production creates to create the atmosphiere of the scene in a movie. There are some kinds of effects:
· Hard sound effect: Are common sounds that appears on screen like doors open, cars driving, etc.
· Background sound effect: Are sounds that don´t go at the same time with the image, but they indicate the setting to the viewers like car interiors, forest sounds, etc.
· Foley sound effects: Are sounds that goes at the same time of the image like, footsteps, movements with hand, foots, etc.
· Design sound effect: Are sounds very rare, because they not easily to record in nature. These sounds are usually on fiction films or in musical films to created mood.
All of these sound effects are used by sound editors that are professionals in the sound area.

Jurassic Park and the CGI

Jurassic Park is a science fiction of 1993 American. In this movie the director, Steven Spielberg, use computer generated effects in the computer, because it was difficult for the filmmaker to created all the set of the past and the huge dinosaur us, because they never saw a animal like those. They had to create miniatures and with the computer generated effects they can make them bigger and create the sets more realistic as it was possible. Stan Winston creates the animatronics dinosaurs. They moved all the details from the computer. The editor monitored every aspect of the movie as the rain, dinosaurs, sun, etc. , with all of this is why the movie is one of the most interesting in the moment of production, because it had to created in computer everything and that expend a lot of time filming.

CGI

The motion pictures are a visual effect and an art of illusion. Film viewers had watched a lot of effects some of them more realistic than others, but in the whole era of film it tried to created new systems and effects to make it more interesting. The computer Generated Effects are more useful for filmmakers, because is cheaper. They used the technology in computer when they wanted to created sets in the past, because there are difficult to create exactly the same and with the computer they can design new outfits and they can change the color of the skin, hair, shapes of the face, and everything related with the body. People could use computer generated effects in commercial, TV, movies. Those effects could be visible easily in movies and others that are non- easily visible.
