Provide a reason to support your answer. 63

3 Name Class Date Visual-Thinking Activity 3-2: Shots and Significance Directions: Study the five movie stills on the DVD. For each image, identify the camera-to-subject distance as well as the camera-to-subject angle. Label the still with one of the following distances: close-up, extreme closeup, medium shot, or long shot (establishing shot); and one of the following angles: high angle, eye level, low angle. Once you have identified the type of shot, indicate what the object of greatest emphasis is in each frame. Write your answers on the chart below. Visual-Thinking 3-2 Still A Type of Shot (Based on camera distance and angle) What is the point of emphasis? How do you know? B C D E Think More About It 1. Why does a filmmaker shoot scenes from different camera distances and angles? Why not keep a fixed distance and angle on the subject throughout the entire movie? 2. Why might a director decide to show a close-up of a character or an object? 64

4 Reading Activity 3-3 Name Class Date ENRICHMENT Directions: Read the passage below, then discuss it in class. Reading Activity 3-3: The Tech in Technicolor In the earliest years of filmmaking, there was no color film stock. Movies were silent, and most, but not all, appeared on the screen as black-and-white images. In these early years, there were just a few ways to add color to black-and-white film. The first was to paint by hand each and every frame. A movie could have thousands of frames, so this process was not only tedious but very time-consuming and expensive. Another way to add color was by tinting. This process involved soaking the black-and-white film in a single color dye. The dye might be amber, yellow, blue, green, lavender, red, or sepia. The dye stained the white areas in each frame. The finished film appeared on the screen tinted in whatever color dye had been used. Toning was a third method of adding color. Its process involved bathing the black-and-white film in chemical salts rather than dyes. Neither tinting nor toning, however, could capture all the colors of the rainbow on the movie screen at the same time. The Three-Strip Camera Herbert Kalmus had long experimented with new technologies that would bring color images to the movie screen. In the 1930s, he perfected a process he called Technicolor. Movies made in Technicolor required a specially built camera that held three strips of black-andwhite film. Here is how the camera worked: First, light entered the camera through the lens. Once inside the camera, the light passed through a prism, which dispersed the light into a rainbow of colors. A mirror deflected the light through two different apertures, or openings, so that the light could be recorded (or photographed) on all three reels of film at the same time. One reel, however, had a filter that allowed only green light to pass through to the film behind it. The second had a filter that allowed only red light to pass through to the film. The final reel had a blue filter. The first step in the Technicolor process, therefore, was photographing the film using this special threestrip camera and creating the three different negatives. The second step in the Technicolor process was to Word Builder film stock film material on which an image is photographed negative photographic film that has been exposed to light and used for preparing a final print of the image amber a golden shade of yellow sepia an orangey shade of brown complementary color a color opposite another on the color wheel, such as yellow and blue saturated color that is strong, not muted or dull soak each reel in a dye bath of a complementary color. A complementary color for green is magenta (purple red). And so the green-sensitive reel was washed with a magenta dye. A complementary color for red was cyan (blue green). The red-sensitive reel therefore was washed with a cyan dye. The blue-sensitive reel got a yellow dye bath. The final step in the process was to transfer these three dyed negatives to a single piece of film. The result was stunning. Rather than showing black-and-white images or images tinted all the same color, filmmakers could now use all the colors of the rainbow to express ideas and emotions on the movie screen. The colors of the Technicolor rainbow were highly saturated, vibrant and vivid, bolder even than in real life! Among the first films made in Technicolor were Becky Sharp (1935, directed by Rouben Mamoulian), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938, directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley), The Wizard of Oz (1939, directed by Victor Fleming), and Gone with the Wind (1939, directed by Victor Fleming). Audiences loved them! Technicolor technology would continue to dominate the filmmaking industry for decades, until new technology replaced it. 65

5 Name Class Date Reading Activity 3-4: Buzz, Buzz Chatter, Chatter WALLA, WALLA! Directions: The passage below comes from the autobiography of Frank Capra. At the time that this story took place, Mr. Capra was not yet a famous movie director. He was just learning what role a director has in making a movie. Answer the questions that follow. One night, from outside the fence at Universal Studios, I caught a glimpse of an important director shooting a huge exterior scene. He must be a big director, I thought to myself. All the lights in Hollywood are on his set. I parked my car close to the fence to watch and learn. I couldn t see the mob of extras (it sounded like thousands), but high up on a platform, silhouetted against the blinding lights, I could see Mr. Director. He was surrounded by cameras and shouting to the mob through an enormous megaphone.... Loud shouts of QUIET! QUIET! from a dozen assistant directors bounced around the huge set like Ping- Pong balls. A hush descended. Children! Tonight we are in danger, came out of the megaphone. Our city is being attacked. There is fear in your hearts, but right now we are only apprehensive. Each one of you, turn to your neighbors and say: Buzz, buzz, buzz! Nothing else, just Buzz, buzz, buzz! All right. Let me hear it. The buzzing of a million bees filled the air. Fine, fine. Now we are more fearful. We hear the battle sounds. Turn to your neighbors a little faster and say, out loud: Chatter, chatter, chatter! Let s hear it. The chattering of a forest of monkeys swelled into the atmosphere. Fine. Now I want terror! The enemy has breached the walls! Run to your neighbor and shout: WALLA, WALLA, WALLA! What kind of crazy directing is this? I thought to Word Builder extras actors who have small roles and usually no lines silhouetted outlined in shadow, profiled megaphone a cone-shaped device that amplifies the voice apprehensive nervous evoke trigger, summon mechanical automatic myself. Buzz, buzz chatter, chatter walla, walla it s childish.... If that was directing, I was a monkey s tail. But on the way home I pondered. A director s job is to communicate, evoke responses, and photograph them. He says to a man, walk he walks; to another, run he runs. But how about emotional responses especially from two thousand extras?... Come to think of it, that director was not dumb. In fact, he was brilliant! He communicated emotionally with one word: Fear! And he controlled the degree from apprehension to terror with simply mechanical commands: Turn to your neighbors and say: Buzz, buzz chatter, chatter WALLA, WALLA! With three simple commands, understood by child or professor, he evoked the right response from two thousand people in a jiffy! That was directing and I was a monkey s tail. Reading Activity What is Capra s first reaction after watching the director work with the crowd of extras? 2. Later, after he has had time to think about what he saw, he changes his mind about the director. What does Capra think of Mr. Director by the end of the story? 66
