The Art of the Motion Picture

Complete catalog record
This film defines and gives examples of the five basic elements in filmmaking that lend themselves to artistic control by the filmmaker and to critical analysis by the film “consumer”: composition, lighting, editing, filming of movement, and use of sound. The filmmaker uses these elements to express his ideas and to imbue the medium with artistic selection and sensitivity. The student is given a beginning film vocabulary and increases his own appreciation of films by an understanding of these elements.
