Storytelling


Storytelling is conveying of events in in words, sound or images. It has been shared by human beings for a very long time as a means of recording and representing the world and for the purposes of:

-          Entertainments

-          Education

-          Cultural preservation

-          Instilling moral values

·         Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include:

-          Plot

-          Characters

-          Narrative

-          Point of view

The word "storytelling" is utilized as a part of a narrow sense to allude particularly to oral storytelling and in a free sense to allude to narrative strategy in other media

Plot: Cause and effect process that develops, cause effect relationship ordering of events. Doesn’t always work chronologically.

Story: is chronological but wider. Chronological world of the film.

Narrative: All the means used to communicate the plot and story. Action happening within frame, tile, music, effects (editing effects) and not part of the story world.

·         The term “visual storytelling” goes to film and a host of other media.



·         At times it holds a prescriptive edge: in a pictorial medium, you should tell your stories visually- rather than, for example, through lengthy dialogue.



·         Show, don’t tell, in other words.



·         As a concept “visual storytelling” alludes to the way that producers of moving image products tell the meaning of action and events through images without recourse to the written or spoken word.



·         This is mainly achieved through two techniques:

-          The choice of shots;

-          The way those shots are edited together.


·         Visual storytelling is rarely purely visual.



·         In film, it needs concepts and music and noises and much of the time a medium of dialogue to work most fully.



·         But given the power of the image, a director who invests in “purely visual” passages first and then considers how his/her images might be reinforced by other inputs, gains huge dividends in the long run.

Celluloid comes as a transparent, flammable plastic made in sheets from camphor and nitrocellulose. It was utilized in order to make cinematographic movies.



The first celluloid film came in size 16mm. The small negative size implied that movies frequently seemed grainy.

The entry of a bigger 35mm negative enhanced picture quality.

Film Sizes: 16mm, 35mm, 70mm (IMAX Projector)

OR

Analog waves are smooth and ceaseless, digital waves are steeping, square, and discrete.

Digital cinematography alludes to the procedure of catching motion pictures as digital video pictures instead of the historical utilization of motion picture celluloid film.
