Man with a movie camera.

                                
                                          Man with a movie camera

                            The fim entitled " Man with a movie camera(1929)" by Dziga Vertov show many things from the Soviet society at that time. It shows the Soviet people doing their everyday routine such as work, play and use modern machines that they already have. During the whole film we see a cameraman everywhere taking picture from different places and angles so it came good. In other words, the director is telling to the people that he can film from everywhere in just a few minutes. At that time, this was hard to convience the people becuase it didn't exist such amazying thing able to do that. Vertov is able to do this, and also show a film with no actors, sounds and neither a story base on the film,which make Vertov works unique. Vertov in his works use a ot techniques during the whole film. Some of the techniques that he use such as fast and slow motion, jumps cuts, closed-ups, double explosure and tracking shots created some emotions of confused, suspension, unbelievable and thinking on the viewers during the film.
                              Vertov in his film is trying to portray a society with a modern society with advanced technology or industry like if he is looking forward in the future of his society. He express a idea that people in the future will be able to another amazing things as the one he did as a filmmaker. he shows the new technology that they have created with their hard work, telling the people that they hard work will make them create new things. He also want to point out to a import idea that in this world there is not need of language to known what is happening around the world becuase images can express many ideas. Therefore he makes useof different techniques,either to com
pare or contrast two things that we can find in the world or the soviet city has the poor or rich people.

Impressionism painting by Luis Lagua

 
 
 
 
 
Impressionist painting
 
 




 
               I chose to do this impressionist painting from Vincent Van Gogh called " The starry Night over the Rhone". The painting have night sky in the center with swirling clouds, stars and moon in a exaggerated way. there are also some mountains and below a small village with a huge tree. Van Gogh make use of the nature to do his amazing painting and his native land. But the reason that I paint this precious art is because I like the way the Van Gogh make use to the oil on canvas to created the swirling clouds as if a wind storm is coming toward the town and the huge tree that make small town seems as nothing on the nature. Also because I think is extraordinary how the painters from the century as Vincent Van Gogh can create such amazing paintings by using what they have around them and their imagination and sometimes their memory.
