Lumiere Brothers

The Lumière Brothers (Auguste and Louis Lumiere) created the very first film screening in 1895. They mainly done short films around 52 seconds long about everyday life and things that people do on a daily basis. They were both technically minded and where both very advanced in science subjects and were sent to Technical School to learn a range of different topics. They later become the French inventors and manufacturers of photographic equipment and photography itself who devised an early motion-picture camera and projector called the Cinématographe, which is now known as Cinema. They created the first motion picture.

During his experimentation in video and picture, the Lumière brothers discovered a process which assisted and developed the idea and amazement of photography. They developed something called a dry plate and by 1894 the Lumières were producing around 15,000,000 plates a year. As well as this by now the Lumière brothers where successful and well known businessman in the film industry and was invited to a demonstration of Edison’s Peephole Kinetoscope in Lyons, which is in France. After this invitations and viewing of Edison camera, the Lumières picked faults in the camera and later in 1895 came up their own device combining camera with printer and projector and called it the Cinématographe. This was a light weight hand cranked camera.

The Lumières held their first private screening of projected motion pictures in 1895 called sortie des usines Lumière a Lyon, which is translated to Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory. The film ran for approximately 50 seconds. This was one of the 10 films that was at the public debut at the salon indien du grand cafe in Paris a few months later and consisted of the following ten short films made by the Lumière Brothers.

1.      Sortie des usines Lumière a Lyon which was 50 seconds long, and was the longest film.

2.      Le Jardinier which was 49 seconds long.

3.      Le Débarquement du Congrès de Photographie à Lyon which was 48 seconds long.

4.      La Voltige which was 46 seconds long.

5.      La Pêche aux poissons rouges which was 42 seconds long.

6.      Les Forgerons which was 49 seconds long.

7.      Repas de bébé which was 41 seconds long.

8.      Le Saut à la couverture which was 41 seconds long.

9.      La Places des Cordeliers à Lyon which was 44 seconds long.

10.   La Mer which was 38 seconds long and was also the shortest film.

After this in 1896 the Lumières went on tour with the cinématographe around the world visiting the most powerful and famous places, even today. Such as London and New York. With the creation of films and moving images they created and had an immediate significant influence on popular culture with these. Especially with the film L'Arrivée d'un Train en Gare de la Ciotat which was simply a train pulling into the station in the morning to La Ciotat. This is known as arrival of the train to La Ciotat.

By 1897 the Lumières had 358 film titles. This quickly escalated to 2113 titles by the year 1903. And less than 50 of these films taken where from the actual Lumière Brothers, the rest of the films where created by other operators who worked for the Lumière Brothers. This was because at this time they had devoted their time to the manufacture and make profit by selling off their inventions.

But In 1907 they produced the first practical colour photography process, the Auto chrome Plate. This method was fairly expensive and also provided a level of convenience similar to the dry plates and there purposes. Auto chrome achieved recognition as the best way at the time of producing colour images remained the favoured means of colour photography for the next 30 years.

The Lumière brothers were each recognized for their numerous technological and scientific achievements.

The Lumière Brothers lived long and adventurous lives and their inventions and creations will be forever remembered Louis Lumière died in Bandol, France, on June 6, 1948 at the age of 83. And the older brother Auguste died in his long-time home of Lyons, France, on April 10, 1954 at the age of 91. For their work together in creating improvements in both photography and motion pictures creating something has changed the future and the focus of creating movies for everybody. Filmmakers and Film viewers.

Film studies Horror Mise-en-scene

The film i will be doing my horror study on is The Blair witch project which was made in 1999. Its is an American found footage horror film which was directed and written by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Shanchez. The plot for the film was simply based around Three film making students who visit the woods. They go there to shoot a documentary video about a local urban legend called the Blair Witch for there college. The main actors and actress played themselves in this film playing Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams and Joshua Leonard. The film is used based of a true story which makes. Almost the whole movie was unscripted.That is why no other "found-footage" movie after Blair witch Project reached the intensity of the original. It still makes the audience feel uncomfortable due to its mystery. 

The setting of the film, is in the woods near Boston (America) The woods is throughout most of the film is dark and gloomy with the quiet atmosphere which builds up to jump scares.  The quiet whistle of birds in the background. As the film is found footage the angles and views and even sound are quiet messy being knocked about creating noises that are just rustling against the camera and movement causing unsteady video footage making view hard to see whats going on sometimes. especially in the tent scene when the mysterious sound of children laughing. which is then followed by a running scene out of the tent which makes the stability of the camera poor.

The props used in the films are items such as camera's and Battery Torches. These are intended for project use but in the film are used as recording and having some light on when the Blair Witch is picking the protagonists off one by one. The props are very limited in this film. Also the tent. The tent with all their camping equipment in shows the fact that the protagonists where not planning nothing major and simply where having a camping trip along with their project search and findings.

The Facial expressions and body language at the start of the film shows determination and hope to be able to come across good findings for the project. But when in the woods and the clues and mysterious happenings of the Blair which occurs. Tears and panic is shared within the group running and hiding getting upset due to the Witchcraft which drives them insane to point of them leading themselves to their own death. Shivering and spine chilling scenes create the protagonists to show their feelings and show true emotion during their recording and scenes on the camera. The end of the film shows an apology scene that is made from Heather explaining how the whole things is her fault but during this it really shows the audience that she is regretting her mistake of doing this project and also her feelings towards her near death experience .  She concludes this with "I am going to die out here". she cry's and struggles talk. The heavy breathing and non focus of her eyes on the camera suggests that the Blair witch is coming closer to her.

The lighting and Color in the film is very dull and bland being mainly dark brown colors and wood like scenery creating green and different shades of wild life colors such as brown and black. The lighting from the sun during the day creates brightness during the morning and day time wood scenes, but as most of the film takes place during the night the only main light is from the torch and the camera. It is very low- key writing.

Here is a link to a PowerPoint i put together to analyse scenes and screenshots in the movie: https://www.slideshare.net/secret/GgzExy9lGaLGSk
