Avant Garde Film Project



Avant Garde Film Project
The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 16:9. For an x:y aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into x units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be y units. The most common aspect ratios used today in the presentation of films in cinemas are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1.  Resolution depends upon the size of the pixel. 
Image resolution is the detail an image holds. Higher resolution means more image detail.
As for the overall project, I really liked how the shots turned out that we did in the tech ed room. I felt like the machinery images grounded the film and provided good contrast to the more abstract shots. I particularly like the worm's eye view of the drill because it is such a dramatic angle. If I were to complete the project again, I would develop Reilly's character further and attempt to create a slightly more linear plot line. For the avant garde genre, the nonlinear nature of the montage works, but if I were to want to develop the film to expand to other genres and a wider audience.
