SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE |
Course Objectives: | Students taking this course will be able to apply the image, composition, color, sound, space, decor, costume, make-up, effects, 3D and many visual design elements that cinema, the seventh art, contains, on the basis of the theoretical background of cinematic design, in parallel with the development of design and technology. It is aimed to conduct research by analyzing the practical aspects. |
Course Content: | The equivalents of realism and formalism in cinema theory, the use of the concept of editing in mainstream and non-mainstream as an element of creation and design, the expansion of design due to the emergence of color and sound, the transition from primitive editing and special effects to computer-based design, design readings for digitalized cinema: Lev Manovich , William Brown, Stephen Prince, Noel Burch, the industry evolving from effects design to holistic visual design, Post Cinema - Neo-Cinema and Digital Cinema concepts, evolution from digital screening to digital platforms, from mass screening to individuality, new concepts included in the context of cinema and design with technological developments : Metaverse, 360 VR, Artificial Intelligence, the general state and evaluation of cinema after the increase in formal design tools, visual design in Stanley Kubrick's cinematography (Life In Pictures, 2001), the current effects of the expanding design systematics (Light & Magic, 2022) and digitalized production Topics such as evaluation of practices (Side By Side, 2012) and discussion and analysis on films constitute the content of the course. |
