Let's talk about photography and the scenic arts
origin:
Etymologically, the word "cinematography" was a neologism created in the late nineteenth century and composed of two Greek words: on the one hand κινή (kiné), which means "movement" (see, among others, "kinetic", "kinetic"). »,« Kinesis »,« cineteca »); and on the other γραφóς (grafós). This was intended to define the concept of "moving image".
The history of cinema began on December 28, 1895, when the Lumière brothers publicly projected the exit of workers from a French factory in Lyon, the demolition of a wall, the arrival of a train and a ship leaving the port.
The technical team consists of:
Production: The film producer is in charge of the organizational and technical aspects of making a film, one could say that he is responsible for turning the idea into a film. He is in charge of the hiring of the personnel, of the financing of the works and of the contact with the distributors for the diffusion of the work. If his task is limited to some specific aspects of the technical or creative process, he is called "co-producer".
Also part of the area are the production manager, the executive producer, the location manager and the production assistant.
Direction: The cinematographic director is the professional who directs the filming of a film, the person in charge of the staging, giving guidelines to the actors and the technical team, taking all the creative decisions, following their particular style or vision, supervising the set and the costumes, and all other functions necessary to bring the shooting to a successful conclusion.
Also part of the area are the assistant director and the so-called script or continuist. On the other hand, he works together with the director of actors.
Script: The scriptwriter is the person in charge of making the script, be it an original story, an adaptation of a previous script or another literary work. Many writers have become scriptwriters of their own literary works. Within the cinematographic script the literary or cinematographic script is distinguished, that narrates the film in terms of image (descriptions) and sound (effects and dialog), and is divided in acts and scenes. It is necessary to distinguish the literary script of the technical script, which adds to the previous one a series of technical indications (size of plane, camera movements, etc.) that serve the technical team in their work and that, unlike the literary script, usually elaborates it the director, not the screenwriter.
Other writers (co-scriptwriters) can collaborate with the scriptwriter or have dialogists who are specialized in writing dialogues.
The role of the screenwriter is very important, because his work is the basis of the entire project, if the script is good the director can make an excellent film, but if this is poor even if the director has many resources, the film will be empty.
Sound: In filming, those in charge of the cinematographic sound are the sound technician and the microphones. In the post-production, the sound editor, the composer of the incidental music and the artists of sound effects (foley) and dubbing are added to generate the original soundtrack. Sound is a fundamental part of cinema since the perception of sound in the cinema includes: vibrations interpreted by the brain through the auditory system (origin, intensity, hue, materials, space, etc.), aesthetic sound qualities such as textures and frequencies , and psychological sound qualities (suggestive, pleasant, disturbing or annoying). Sound stimuli are also handled. The sound is very important because it extends the limits of the screen, solves narrative problems, unites the montage, influences the viewer unconsciously and transmits stories and emotions.
The photography team working.
Photography: The director of photography is the person who determines how the film is going to be seen, that is, it determines the visual aspects of the film according to the director's and the story's requirements: the framing, the lighting , the optics to use etc. He is responsible for the entire visual part of the film, also from the conceptual point of view, determining the overall tonality of the image and the optical atmosphere of the film.
the photograph must maintain quality, good focus.
The photography team is the most numerous and consists, in addition to the director of photography, the cameraman, the first assistant cameraman or foquista, the second camera assistant, the negative magazine, the gaffer or chief of electrical, electrical or operators of lights, grip or operators of traveling or dolly, the stabilizers of camera (steady cam) and other assistants or apprentices.
Assembly: The cinematographic montage is the technique of assembling the successive shots recorded in the photographic film to model them in their narrative, dramaturgical and, specifically, rhythmic form in order to construct audio-visual phrases: scenes and sequences. It consists of choosing (once the film has been shot), ordering and joining a selection of the recorded plans, according to an idea and a certain dynamics, based on the script, the idea of the director and the contribution of the editor. The editor synchronizes the image with the sound (task usually entrusted to the assembly assistant). Watch the daily shots with the director and the key members of the team (the director of photography, who supervises his own work).
Set of elements (decoration, lighting, sound, costumes, etc.) necessary to set and represent a play, movie or television program.
