Film History and Aesthetics Wiki

 

A Project of Film 110: Introduction to Film History and Aesthetics at Westminster College

By: Air Dupaix, Kathryn Hansen, Jessica Knight, Nykki Montaño, William Palm, Monty Risenhoover, Tony Rivas, Ian Stephens, and Sam Webster

 

Clip Requests

 

10.1 From Nykki (I think): From Beauty and the Beast: 34:55-35:18 (short clip when the beast carries Belle up the stairs).

Announcements, etc

 

10.2

Here's the reading for Tuesday. It's Lotte Eisner's discussion of Metropolis in The Haunted Screen.

 

10.1

Major edits are due tonight. I do have a reading for Metropolis, and I'll get that out to you guys tomorrow.

 

The Metropolis screening will be at the Tower at 7 PM Monday.


 

 

 

 

10.1

Major Edit pages

Ian did his major edit on Set Design and Locations

Air did her major edit on Film: "The Stuff"

Tony did MORE on Blackface

Sam slapped a couple more examples onto the Continuity Editing page

Nykki worked on the Lighting page

 

 

Air's note: I changed the navigation for the Works Consulted page to something a little more logical like the alphabet. I'm going to go through and get rid of the other anchors on the page but in doing so I may screw up a few times. Just be aware that your sources may die or not actually go anywhere like the about.com link is now. I don't know what happened to it but the page made the link disappear after going back and forth between the source and the regular page. Maybe this is an issue with the wiki? Gremlins in the computers?

Air: More on Jean Renoir

Nykki: More on camera movement

Monty: More on French cinema

Tony: More on cinematic responses to fascism

          Hope they help! --Nykki 

          Those help a ton thanks! I can't believe I couldn't find them.

-I think it should be decided that Nykki deserves some sort of award for general awesome-ness and industry.

-Seconded.

 

Ian's Note: I tried to use a custom font for the title of the wiki, but it seems to be reverting back to a decidedly not-exciting font instead.  Sorry for messing things up...I'll find a way to get the old silver logo back.   

     -Sam's comment: I dunno, I kinda like it this way. It's... classy.

          -Nykki: like ron burgundy....    

               all kidding aside I too like the way it looks now, either works though!

     -Monty: by the way it was a picture I made so you really can't put it back up without my files or reverting to 

          a previous version, but if everyone likes this there's no reason too.

And by Orpheus I'm Sure Sean really means The Beauty and the Beast.Although if you'd like to watch Orpheus I'd be more than happy to lend you my copy of the film.

Air's note:

Hey Everyone,

Should we always do a page on the current genre of film we are watching or no? Like for this week we'd be doing a page on the Soviet Montage of Einstein or will that be taken care of with the three pages dedicated to him? Im just thinking that the actualities page might be a little lonely as the only film genre we've covered, especially if we've passed on the cool things happening in Russia, Germany and France during the pre-war years.

 

Jessica's note about Air's note:

I think that's a totally brill idea!

 

Ian's note about Air's note in response to Jessica's note: 

I second the above brill- it's a really good idea.

 

William's note in responce to Ian's comment refering to Jessica's reference to Air 

It sounds brilliant.
