This early film from 1895 by the Lumiere Brothers shows workers leaving their factory in a single continuous shot, as editing techniques had not yet been developed. Filmed without sound, the movie featured everyday events rather than narratives to astonish audiences still amazed that moving images could be captured. Black screens occasionally appear due to the effort required for the man manually cranking the camera.

TASK 1A
The Lumière brothers were French inventors who held the first private screening of projected motion pictures in 1895. Their film "Arrival of a Train" showed an unedited train pulling into a station with passengers getting on and off, as filmed technology and editing techniques were still being developed. During this time period, films consisted of establishing shots from a single distant camera angle since close-ups and shot variation had not been established as techniques yet.
The lumière brothers
The Lumière brothers were French inventors who devised one of the earliest motion picture cameras and projectors called the Cinematographer. Their films showed scenes of everyday life and were influential in the development of cinema. The Great Train Robbery directed by Edwin Porter in 1903 used techniques like continuity editing to make it seem like the story was unfolding in a single, massive scene through well-timed cuts. Georges Méliès was a French filmmaker and illusionist who led technical and narrative developments in early cinema with films like A Trip to the Moon that used primitive special effects to show a group of men traveling to the moon in a capsule shot from a giant cannon.
1a
The Lumiere Brothers film "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" illustrates early cinema techniques with no editing, use of actual events, and a continuous shot. The film shows a train arriving at a station and passengers boarding in a single, unedited shot, as early filmmakers lacked the equipment and knowledge for editing. It depicts everyday events without narrative to keep it short and realistic given the limitations of equipment at the time.
Pioneers of editing
The document provides instructions for creating a mini documentary about a pioneering film editor. It lists influential editors from Edwin S. Porter to Walter Murch and Thelma Schoonmaker. The suggested structure is to cover the editor's most famous works, influential techniques, key films edited, how they have influenced other films, and to analyze a clip using concepts like narrative, rhythm, and storytelling. The response chooses to analyze Thelma Schoonmaker's work on Martin Scorsese films like Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and The Aviator. It discusses her techniques of shaping performances, use of music, and avoiding fast cutting to sustain narrative.

The course will introduce film history, analyze adaptations of English novels into films and their source materials, compare Taiwanese and Western films, and have students make their own short films in groups. It provides details on the course content, evaluation methods, required viewings and readings. Literary and cinematic techniques explored include shots, scenes, sequences, camera angles, and sound design.
In the 1890
The document discusses the history and evolution of film editing techniques. In the early days of film in the 1890s, the Lumière brothers created the first motion picture camera but did not edit their films. By the 1980s, directors had started stitching together different scenes to tell more complex stories and create continuity, marking the birth of continuity editing. The moviola machine, invented in 1924, allowed editors to precisely examine shots and determine where to make cuts. Later, non-linear editing was developed, enabled by digital software, which gave editors more flexibility to rearrange footage virtually. This represented a major advance over early linear editing techniques.
History of editing
The document discusses the history and evolution of film editing from its origins with the Lumiere Brothers' Cinematographe in 1895. It covers key developments like Edwin Porter using unrelated footage to tell new stories in 1901. D.W. Griffith introduced continuity editing and close-ups in 1908. Techniques developed through directors like Eisenstein, Griffith's 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, and the introduction of sound. Editing has allowed films to manipulate time and space to keep audiences engaged through techniques such as cuts, transitions, camera angles, and narrative structure.

Creative critical reflection questions shelby
This document contains reflections from a student on their creative critical project which was a horror/thriller film. In three sentences:
The student's film uses conventions of the horror genre like suspenseful music, murders and a masked killer, and represents social issues by including the kidnapping of both female and male victims. To distribute the film, the student would pitch the opening scene to a major production company in hopes of developing it into a wider release. Through making the film, the student developed skills in operating the camera, directing actors, and editing techniques using Windows Live Movie Maker, though they learned filmmaking is more of a hobby than a career path for them.

He was also an early adopter of computer editing and used Apple's Final Cut Pro to edit the film Cold Mountain. Murch believes editing is an intuitive process involving decisions about what shot to use, where to begin it, and where to end it with each film containing thousands of such decisions.
Question 1
We decided to make a zombie horror film by first researching popular zombie films like Zombieland and Dawn of the Dead to analyze their conventions and techniques without directly copying them. We looked at similarities in mise-en-scene and cinematography between the two films and tried applying them to our own film, such as shooting in an abandoned factory to give the surrounding area a broken down feel. Another convention we implemented was building mystery and tension around the zombie threat by only revealing it partially at first and keeping the full reveal until the end.

Similar to Task 1a - leaving the factory analysis
Task 1 A
The film "Arrival of the Train" directed by the Lumiere Brothers in 1896 was one of the earliest films ever made. It consisted of a single continuous shot showing a train arriving at a station and people boarding it. As one of the first films, it did not employ any editing techniques or have multiple camera angles. It simply depicted an actual event unfolding in real-time. While basic by today's standards, the film was groundbreaking at the time in bringing motion pictures to the public and capturing everyday events on screen.
History of Documentaries
The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers' invention of the motion picture camera. Early documentary films from this era were called "Actualities" and simply captured short, unedited scenes. The documentary style as we know it today emerged in 1922 with Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North, which was the first feature-length factual film to use creative interpretation and staged scenes. In the 1930s, John Grierson further developed the poetic realist approach to documentary filmmaking. Direct Cinema emerged in the 1950s-1960s in the U.S., aiming to present events directly and unmediated. Mockumentaries also began in the 1960s, using documentary codes and conventions to trick audiences
Early cinema and the pioneers of film editing
This document analyzes the 1895 film "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat", one of the earliest documentary films ever made. It notes that the 54 second film featured a train arriving at a station and people boarding, with no editing throughout. As one of the first films ever created, the Lumiere brothers focused simply on capturing the actual events rather than narrative or production elements. The single continuous shot established the setting and used long shots, medium shots, and close-ups of the train through its movement alone.
History of documentary
The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers inventing the first camera. Their short, unedited films were called "actualities". Modern documentary style emerged in 1922 with Nanook of the North, directed by Robert Flaherty. This introduced staged scenes to make the film more dramatic. In the 1930s, John Grierson developed the "poetic realist" approach to emphasize film techniques like movement and rhythm. In the 1950s-60s, direct cinema aimed to present events directly and unfiltered. Technological advances like handheld cameras allowed for more spontaneous recordings. This style was called cinema verite. Mockumentaries, which use documentary codes to mislead viewers, emerged as early as
Task 1A "Arrival of a train at la"
This document provides an analysis of the 1896 film "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" by the Lumiere brothers. It was the first ever documentary film made and surprised audiences who were unaccustomed to moving images. The film consists of a single continuous shot showing a train arriving at a station, where passengers disembark and embark, before the train departs. It has no editing, soundtrack, or narrative structure, simply capturing actual events as they unfolded without embellishment.
The History of Editing - Assignment
This document discusses the history of editing techniques from the earliest moving pictures to modern cinema. It covers pioneers like the Lumiere Brothers, George Melies, D.W. Griffiths, Fritz Lang, and Charlie Chaplin. Each introduced new techniques, such as looped footage, stop tricks, splicing, fades, and dissolves. The document also explains editor Walter Murch's "Rule of Six" which outlines the ideal percentages of edit types for rhythm, eyetrace, emotion, continuity/story, and the 180-degree and 360-degree rules. Emotion should account for 51% of edits, with continuity/story at 23% and rhythm at 10%, according to Murch's theory.
Task 1
The document analyzes early films from cinema pioneers including the Lumière brothers, Georges Méliès, and Edwin S. Porter. It discusses key features of early cinema like a lack of editing and narrative in the Lumière brothers' film of a train arriving at a station. It then analyzes Méliès' 1902 film "A Trip to the Moon" which featured innovative special effects and editing techniques for the time. Finally, it examines the continuity editing and use of the Moviola editing device in Porter's 1903 western "The Great Train Robbery."
History of documentaries
The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers creating the first documentary by capturing unedited clips of real life. Major developments included Robert Flaherty's 1922 film Nanook of the North, which was the first to use creative interpretation of reality. In the 1930s, John Grierson pioneered the poetic-realistic style with films like Nightmail. The 1950s-60s saw the direct cinema movement aim to present events directly and unmediated, influenced by lightweight cameras. Modern social issue documentaries still draw from these traditions, though some filmmakers now use documentary techniques to intentionally mislead audiences in mockumentaries.
Film Studies -- Week 2 -- Film History/Language of Cinema
Early experiments in film involved capturing motion through successive photographs, like Eadweard Muybridge's photographs of a running horse in 1878. Thomas Edison then developed the Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope viewer in the late 1880s, though his films were confined to his studio. The Lumiere Brothers introduced the portable Cinematographe camera and projector in 1895, allowing them to capture real-world events. One of their first films was the 50-second A Train Arriving at the Station. Early cinema was more focused on spectacle than narrative, but films like Melies's A Trip to the Moon in 1902 began introducing fantasy and basic plot elements. Directors like D.W. Griffith then advanced film
History of documentaries
The history of documentary filmmaking began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers creating short unedited clips they called "actualities" showing life around them. The more familiar documentary format emerged in 1922 with Nanook of the North, which was the first to use planned scenes to tell a dramatic story. Direct Cinema arose in the 1950s-60s, aiming to present social and political issues in a direct, unmediated way using lighter cameras and film stock. Meanwhile, Cinema Verite used similar techniques to convey a sense that viewers see unfiltered reality, influencing both documentaries and drama films. Recent mockumentaries have further called into question how much we can trust documentary films.
Film and Video Editing Techniques Essay
The document discusses the history and techniques of film and video editing. It begins with early pioneers like Edison and explores developments in the silent film era under directors like D.W. Griffith. Key techniques discussed include shot variation, narrative techniques like parallel editing, and the transition to sound film. The document also contrasts analog and digital editing workflows and how techniques have evolved with technology over time.
History of documentaries
The history of documentary film began in 1895 with the Lumiere brothers creating actualities, short unedited clips capturing life. In 1922, Nanook of the North established the more familiar documentary format, with scenes planned for drama and excitement. John Grierson later coined the term "documentary" and emphasized poetic elements of film through films like Nightmail. This led to the direct cinema movement in the 1950s-60s, aiming to present social and political issues in a direct, unmediated way using smaller cameras. Similar techniques were used in cinema verite films to convey a sense of unmodified reality.
The history of editing
Film editing evolved from early films consisting of single static shots to incorporating multiple shots edited together to tell a story and establish continuity of action. Pioneers like the Lumiere Brothers, Edwin Porter, and D.W. Griffith developed new editing techniques like continuity editing to create seamless narratives. Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein further advanced montage editing using techniques like jump cuts. Sound editing techniques also advanced with films like The Jazz Singer incorporating synchronized dialogue. Editing technology progressed from devices like the Moviola to modern non-linear video editing systems.
History of editing
Editing involves preparing and adapting footage to suit the filmmaker's desired needs and create a cohesive final product. It is essential for giving a film structure and joining scenes to tell a story. Early editing required physically cutting and splicing film, which was time-consuming. The Lumière brothers invented the Cinématographe camera and projector and held the first public film screening. D.W. Griffith pioneered techniques like continuity editing and helped establish feature-length films. Modern digital editing allows nonlinear access to footage for increased flexibility.
Part 1 - Silent Era
The document provides a brief history of cinema from early inventions that created the illusion of movement to modern CGI films. It discusses early optical toys and chronophotography that led to the first moving images. Thomas Edison then developed one of the first movie cameras and the Kinetoscope for individual viewing. The Lumiere brothers combined the camera and projector, allowing films to be projected for audiences. The first feature films emerged in the silent era, but talking pictures began with The Jazz Singer in 1927, marking the transition from silent to sound films.
History of editing
Editing evolved from simply filming scenes sequentially to intentionally arranging and cutting shots to tell a story. Early editors physically spliced film together, but techniques developed like continuity editing used by D.W. Griffith in "The Birth of a Nation" to advance emotions through varied camera angles. Soviet filmmakers also pioneered montage editing to manipulate audiences' reactions by how shots were assembled. Later, innovations allowed for sound in film and non-linear digital editing simplified the process.
Assignment 3 cinema verite
Cinema Verite is a documentary filmmaking style that combines naturalistic techniques with staged elements. It aims to capture truth or provoke subjects. Over time, Cinema Verite has influenced other genres by adopting handheld camerawork and lack of scripts to seem more realistic. Modern examples that mix Cinema Verite with horror and thriller genres include The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, and Grave Encounters.
How Editing Has Changed Over Time
Film editing involves selecting and assembling different shots and scenes to tell a story. Early films had only one shot while pioneers like Edwin Porter began using multiple shots and cutting between them. Techniques like continuity editing and montage editing were developed to enhance narrative structure and emotion. Advances in technology allowed for innovations like sound editing and non-linear digital editing systems.
The History of Film Editing
Film editing began in the 1890s with the Lumiere Brothers' single-shot films. Edwin Porter experimented with splicing different film parts together in 1901. Early editing involved stopping and restarting the camera. D.W. Griffith's 1908 film featured the first continuity cut between scenes. The development of sound recording and digital editing further advanced the field. Film editing has come a long way from analog techniques like reel-to-reel cutting to modern digital software that offers complex visual effects.

Task 2 b evaluation
The author chose image number 8 because it clearly captured their emotion at the right angle with their eyes fully white and no visible pupils. The lighting was well exposed to see their face clearly without needing edits. They rejected other images because their pupils were visible when trying to roll their eyes back or the angle did not convey the intended power. Exterior images were also rejected due to uncontrolled sunlight causing too much or not enough lighting.
Task 1 – considerations
Jordan Lyn plans to take low-angled photographs of themselves portraying a superhero for a school project. They will take the photos either during free time at their college, which is open from 9am to 7pm, or during lessons with a colleague. Jordan will use the JPEG format for the high-resolution images because they are more familiar with it than RAW files, though may try RAW in the future. The indoor photos were taken with natural sunlight through large windows, which provided good lighting and allowed for a low-angled shot conveying tension as Jordan portrayed their superhero character.
Task 3
Jordan took images on their mobile device and transferred the JPEG files to their email to access them from any device. They saved the pictures in a folder on their computer hard drive named "Images" and also transferred them to a USB drive for backup. Jordan discusses different types of shots like location shots which can be interior or exterior, and studio shots which use equipment like reflectors and lights. They explain considerations for different contexts like events where you need to be ready to capture moments, night shots where you need flash or long exposure, and portraits where you focus on one subject.
Task 2
This document discusses different types of media and how they summarize content. It describes e-newspapers, e-magazines, CD/DVD covers, book covers, instruction manuals, advertisements, and websites. These media provide visual references and previews to help audiences understand the content at a glance without needing to view or read it in full. They promote recognition and allow users to quickly identify the topic or purpose of the media.
Task 4
The document discusses editing and selecting pictures for an InDesign project. It describes resizing photos in Photoshop to fit on an A4 page and adjusting dimensions and resolution.

A template was created in InDesign showing image and text placements, with different tools used to indicate boxes and text.
Task 2 – traditional techniques
Hand etching uses acid to cut designs into metals like steel and copper. Linocut is a printmaking technique that carves designs into linoleum. Screen printing uses a mesh to transfer ink onto a substrate in certain permeable areas. Lithography prints an image onto a stone or metal plate using the repellence of oil and water. Letterpress uses a metal template and printing press to imprint ink onto paper. Rotogravure is similar to offset printing and uses an engraved rotating cylinder to print images onto paper with a doctor blade regulating the ink. Screen-process also uses a mesh but transfers ink through impermeable areas using a blade or stencil.

3. They also considered doing a dance video but decided on the Bryson Tiller song. Areas for improvement included time management, actor lip syncing, and using more camera movement/shots.
Anime presentation
Anime uses lines and exaggeration of movements, expressions, and aura to make still images appear animated. It began in the early 20th century in Japan and the first feature-length anime film was 1944's Momotarō: Umi no Shinpei. Akira Toriyama later created Dragon Ball Z/GT, the author's favorite anime, which features fast-paced action and vibrant colors as protagonist Goku battles powerful opponents.

Task 1a - leaving the factory analysis
- 1. Lumiere Brothers: Leaving the Factory - 1895 By Jordan Lyn
- 2. Introduction This movie was developed by the Lumiere Brothers. It was made in 1895. People watching it today would not find it interesting simply because there is a limitation to filming and editing techniques, this is because it was a time where production was being developed. It was a time where they had just begun filming and to people during this period was astonished by what they saw.
- 3. Editing In this film there was no editing techniques as it is only one continuous shot because at this time they only discovered how to film moving image using a cinematography.
- 4. Content As this was filmed in one continuous shot there was no narratives. At this time the technology discovered shocked people enough, in a cinema the film would be accompanied by someone playing the piano in the background as there was no sound in the film. Instead of having a narrative, it involved real life events therefore they filmed everyday events. In the image below it shows a man winding the camera, the occasional black screens during the film are due to the stamina of the man winding it.
