How to Read a Film

THE SPECTRUM OF THE ARTS SUMMARY (from “the Nature of Art” Chapter 1)

• The Performance Arts- which happen in real time; ​
• The Representational Arts – which depend on the established codes and conventions of language (both pictorial and literary) to convey information about the subject to the observer; ​
• The Recording Arts- which provide a more direct path between subject and observer: media not without their own codes but qualitatively more direct than the media of the representational arts.​

BLOG POSTING TASK :Give an example of each type?

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY BLURS THE BOUNDARIES… The application of digital technology to film and audio, which began to gather momentum in the late 1980s, points to a new level of discourse: one that is about to revolutionize our attitude toward the recording arts. Simply put, digital techniques like morphing and sampling destroy our faith in the honesty of the images and sounds we see and hear. The verisimilitude is still there—but we can no longer trust our eyes and ears.

BLOG POSTING TASK : Give an example of a recent film which “blurs the boundaries” and explain how it does this.
