Our trip to the Museum of Moving Images was very interesting and exciting to go through. We saw all different types of props and activities to go through. The one that caught my attention the most was the activity we went through when we went into a room with a big screen with titanic sound files on it. The tour guide basically played each sound clip for us which showed just how much sound editing is put into one scene. I found it really interesting that the sound production of certain scenes didn’t even contain straight forward sound bites. For example in a scene where a man is swimming through the ocean while the ship is sinking, there is a sound clip of a lion roar being played just for dramatic effect and to add fear to the subconscious mind. Another part of the museum involved seeing the different types of cameras used overtime for filming. The moving picture has changed a great deal due to the fact that it started out as almost a flipbook to having 4k high definition camcorders. Something that was interesting to find out was that in the early days, in order to add color to film, artists would literally paint onto the film strip to wherever they needed color. I did not know that they even attempted to do this before as I only thought that color didn’t officially show up till the Wizard of Oz. Overall it was a great learning experience and I would definitely consider going back in the near future.
