Still image v Moving image
With regard to the moving image, I often chat with lecturers of media and film and wonder how students can possibly comprehend the complexity of this media, when I have enough trouble with a single image at 1/125th. But perhaps that’s just my failing. Do other FADU members have any thoughts about this dichotomy?

Perhaps if you looked at the movie as a story telling purpose. A single image is a window, a single moment. With a movie, there is a narrative over a period of time, a developement (sorry) of an idea, or developement of a character. With a single image, it can say as much about you the viewer as the photographer-your reaction to it will be based on your background and philosophy. With a movie, the editor takes you on his narrative, and in his direction. Just a stream of consciousness from me-anybody else got any thoughts?

I sometimes thought that subliminal image technique was sometimes introduced into old movies. I remember watching some Fred Astaire dancing routines and wondered if some of the optimum composition frames of the dance in motion were copied and repeated for a slightly longer duration (perhaps ½ a second) to give that wonderful graphic sense to the choreography. Perhaps I’m just being cynical, or did anybody else notice this?

A thought.<p>
Take a photograph of an object - say a telephone box. then take a movie of the same object from the same position/focal length for say 5 minutes. then display the two next to each other. Are they the same?The same thought processes go into each. The subject is the same. Once you understand the differences, perhaps it is then you can begin to exploit the differences (grasshopper.)<p> (Is this an idea for an art installation....)
