Sorry for the long absence

  Hello everyone. My name is Andrii Azarchenko and I'm writing to apologize for being absent for too long but I had a reason to. Because of the situation in Ukraine I had to stop for a moment to make blogs as me and my family tried to cross the boarder and it took a lot of time to make this happen. Luckily I'm finally in a safer place and I can finally go on doing the blogs. Again sorry for a long absence but i had a reason, luckily the problem is finally solved.

Cinemascope

  Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...

What Defines a Genre?

 The original material- https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-genre-definition/                                                      Genres are stylistic categories where a particular movie can be placed based on setting, characters, plot, mood, tone and theme. A film's main genre category will be based on where the majority of the content lands.                                               One of the most significant determining factors to a genre is setting. It's ultimately the time and place of a story. Setting is either outwardly articulated to us, or discretely suggested to us. It can be suggested by weather, clothing, culture, architecture etc. For example dusty, empty landscape with a saloon and stables can be the Western se...

How Audience Responded to ''Captain Marvel''

 ''Captain Marvel'' is the MCU's first solo film about a female hero. It was pretty successful in box office and had good reviews from critics but wasn't warmly accepted by the audience. For example in Rotten Tomatoes the critics score is 79 per cent while the audience score is only 45. The audience is divided into primary (those to whom a message is directed), secondary (those who are still a target but not as important as primary) and tertiary (those who are curious about message or writing style). Some reviews look like ''I was very disappointed'' but it's not explained why that person found it disappointing  Some make more expanded review such as " For me this movie lacked in drama and storytelling. Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson, is one of the strongest characters we are going to see in the MCU. I really hope they can show that without the overdone special effects like they've done in this movie". And by this review ...

Types of Lighting

Three-Point Lighting: This is the most basic lighting setup. It consists of key light, fill light and backlight. The key light aims directly at the subject (most likely the main character or object in the shot) and is the brightest light source for the shot. The fill light is a softer light and is usually placed opposite the key light; the fill light cuts down on shadows created by the bright key light. The backlight shines behind the subject separating him from the background so the sense of depth is made in the shot. Fill Light: It's used for reducing the contrast of a scene to match the dynamic range of the recording media and record the same amount of detail typically seen by eye in average lighting and considered normal. From that baseline of normality using more or less fill will make shadows seen darker or lighter than normal which will cause the viewer to react differently by inferring both environmental and mood clues from the tone of the shadows. So fill light is used to ...
