The Museum of Moving Image

A visit to this museum of moving image gave us a more knowledge about a camera technologies. We had a very intelligent guide who tried to explain everything very well. We had a general idea about camera technology because we discussed in the lecture and we saw photo materials but seeing all of this, in reality, gave us greater experience and more understanding about the camera. I would like to talk about THAUMATROPE. It was the most interesting thing for me which was presented in the museum. As guide mentioned the thaumatrope was invented in 1825 by John Ayrton Paris. The images painted on each side and appear to merge. Also, ZOETROPE was presented there. I remember zoetrope from lecture and it was great that we had a chance to see in reality how it works. Also, it was really memorable experience that we been in automated dialogue replacement (ADR) room. Our students tried to record their voice and then they replace some movies and cartoons dialogue. As guide said “ADR is also used when the film is dubbed from one language into another” and also he mentioned that “Dialogue can be re-recorded in a studio after filming is over.” He also talked about the importance of music in the movie and showed us an example. As we saw the choice of music can dramatically alter the tone of the scene. And music can also be used to undermine or deny the emotional content of the image. We saw and talked about a lot of things but those are facts that I remembered most. It was really fun and awareness day.
