museum of the moving image

The demo I participated in was the flip book making demo. We took a series of photos and were able to put them together on the computer to make it look like a gif and we were given the option to print them and turn it into a flip book.
  I participated in a sound demo as well. The tour guide played a scene from the move Independence Day with several different tracts. We all know that music has the power to evoke emotions but this allowed me to really see just how much different msic can affect the the scene.in the scene the characters reacted and then there was a reveal. The scene stayed the same but depending on the track playing the reveal could come across as a good and happy event, a tragic devastating event or even an optimistic confused event. 
    As technology advanced within the media world so have our experience. There are so many layers that are so well thought out in a film just to enhance our viewership.As computer generation develops there is nothing the mind can think up than the movies can not make realistic. Once masks and elementary make up (which I saw at the museum) were the way to create abnormal looking creatures but now those are just the beginning steps. The makeup tools used now are phenomenal compared to what they were before and as technology evolves we can be more engaged with what we are seeing because of the more realistic appeal.
