Station?

in Arrival of a Train at a Station ?
Q3: What are the similarities shared by The Sprinkler Sprinkled and
Exiting the Factory?
Q4: What are the differences between The Sprinkler Sprinkled and
Exiting the Factory?

15. Write down your answers & present

16. Question for next week
Movie: Moving picture
Cinema
Film:
What’s the difference between
the three?

17.  Animators, documentary filmmakers, Hollywood directors, and experimental
filmmakers perceive themselves as all working in the same medium — film.
The films they produce, however, differ totally in look, subject matter, and
style. To the general public, film means “movie” — a perfectly acceptable
term that the noted American critic Pauline Kael always championed.
 Unfortunately, the word “movie” suggests popular culture rather than art. An
alternative term, “cinema”, suggests art rather than popular culture.
Ironically, “cinema”, although it is a French word, is derived from the Greek
kinein (to move): thus, whether we say cinema or movie, we are talking
about an art form that was once known as “moving pictures” — appropriately
named because the pictures really moved.
 There is nothing pejorative about the word “movie”; certainly some of the
greatest examples of film art ever produced are, and always will be,
movies . . . Calling a film a movie implies nothing about artistic worth.
Whether we use the word “movie” or “cinema”, we are discussing the same
“spoke” of the umbrella term “film” (Dick 1-2).
