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

11.3 From Nykki

I need a 2001 clip from 1:56:57-1:58:37 (the star gate scene). Thanks!

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/61/

Maybe my DVD has different times or I wrote them down wrong or something but the above clip is too early and doesn't include the star gate sequence. I'll try looking up the times again soon and throw another request up here.-Nykki

Sorry. I was working mechanically. Is this better?

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/62/

11.3 From Kathryn: the match on action bone to space weapon in 2001. Just a shot of each. Thanks

[That's not a match on action. A match on action involves one continuous movement, and the edit is designed to show a continuous flow of time. This is a match cut or a graphic match.]

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/60/

11.3 From Sam: 1:49:22 - 1:53:41 in 2001. Dave approaching HAL's logic room and turning him off. A long clip, yes, but it is 2001 soo... unavoidable. Air's clip comes right after the end of this one too, I believe.

11.3 From Air to magnamous clip masters: I need the clip of Dave entering Hal's brain to where Dr. Floyd reveals the true mission. I don't know the times for this clip. I will try to get them asap!--correction I just need the same clip as Sam.

For both of you:

Announcements, etc

11.5

Some reading for next week here.

11.3

New original pages are due tonight, and obvious you will present them Thursday.

11.2

Major edit and wiki maintence grades for 10.23 through 10.29 are up. There are a lot of Fs. Please be aware that these factors combine represent 60% of your final grade. You can get a way with an F or two in either category, but you don't want to make a habit of it.

10.29

Tony will screen The Holy Mountain Monday night. Just to be on the safe side, it might be worthwhile to know who's going to that screening. Can we have a virtual show of hands?

Also, major edits are due tonight. Assignments below (Ian, you owe Air a thank you--she yirlded her major edit request to you).

10.29

Hey guys, sorry I am not there right now - I have a mentee meeting w/ Dr. Hodgson @ 2:30, I will come straight to class afterwards. These are unavoidable circumstances. -Tony

10.27

1. So the library does have a copy of The Holy Mountain, but it's only searchable by the name of the box set it appears in: The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky. Unfortunately, The Holy Mountain has been checked out for an alarming period--but I've asked the library to try to reel it back in. If that fails, we may have to switch to a different Jodorowky film.

Tony: I have a copy of the film straight from the boxed set, so if it's not a problem we could use my DVD. Either way though.

2. I've also dropped off my copy of 2001 with them, so that should be up on reserve soon.

3. New pages are due tonight. Don't forget to indicate that you've done them on the front page.

10.26

Wiki Maintenance and Major Edit grades from 10.9-10.22 are up.

10.22

1. Major edits are due tonight.

2. William will run the 2001 screening Monday night.

If any of you, my fine fellow classmates could tell me the author's name that would be wonderful. Thanks! Also I need the clip of the beast proposing to Beauty the second time, I think its between 46:27 to 46:40.

Sam's response: I think it's.... Michael Popkin? That's the name at the end of the essay... so I'm gonna say that's it.

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?

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.

Eisenstein"s Essay by Kathryn

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.
