5. How people study artâŠ
âą Professional/Criticism: what works, from an
aesthetic or persuasive point, in visual
communication, what doesnât?
âą Audience-Oriented: what does the audience
see/believe when they see a particular image?
âą Semiotic: what metaphors are used and to what
effect?
âą Cultural Studies: What do the images tell us
about ourselves and our worldview?
6. âą Realism and formalism are 2 main styles a
movie falls under in filming technique.
âą Realism strives for an objective view and makes
use of actual locations, authentic costumes, and
handheld documentary style shots to add a
sense of reality to film.
âą Formalism uses techniques that express the
filmmakerâs artistic view (even distorting images)
and aim for the emotional symbolism in style.
7. Formalism vs. Realism
âą Open Form: window on the
world; random composition in
the frame; candid effect;
suggests freedom of choice in
the filmic world
âą Closed Form: planned and
elaborate composition;
formalistic and expressive;
suggests entrapment in the
filmic world
8. âą The camps are opposed aesthetically: a
formalist might argue that realism is too plain
to be great art, where a realist might argue
that artistic value lies in the story itself, and
formalism damages that by drawing too much
attention to the way the story is told.

rgaret Camer
on
âą 1815-1879
âą English photographer known for
her portraits of eminent people
of the day, and for her romantic
pictures which, despite their
technical imperfections,
stand the test of time
10. âą Not a great technician.
âą Some negatives show uneven
coating of collodion, and dust particles that lend a
dream quality.
âą Many prints are faded.
âą But Cameron had tremendous capacity to visualize a
mythic drama--her portraits show vitality that the
work of her peers did not.
âą Exposures lasting between one & seven minutes.

Walker Evans
American photographer of the Great
Depression era. A sensibility that is
characterized by isolation, melancholy,
and loneliness.
28. âą According to Irving Singer, there are two kinds of film
theorists as well as makers - formalists and realists - and
since the formative years of film theory their differences
have been at the core of controversies in film criticism.
âą Basically, formalists adhere to the idea that film is art
and not a recording of reality
âą Realists believe that film is meant to be a more or less
direct reproduction of reality.

seeing is also an
act of NOT seeingâ
