Trends in FilmA Great Waste of Time

The Grey House Lately, realistic documentaries have become a trend in cinema. A realistic documentary is when the film looks like it is being filmed by the actors and what is happening in the film, can happen in real life. Some of the recent popular films that use this technique are the Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, chronicle, the paranormal activity films and many more. This filming technique tends to gravitate people towards the film. Shortcut An amateur film by Cinema House Productions (Tibor, Brad, Teddy, Hamid, Brandan). We wanted to create a good introduction that showcased solid editing and tasteful filming, which is a current trend within film. It followed an amateur horror film theme which is also becoming a trend in film. Digital Art vs. Traditional ArtBy Heather Clevland
Is digital art actually art?
Many artists conflict over what real art. One definition of art I have seen is that art is anything that enhances life beyond survival. It is a vague definition but it is true. We don’t need to dance, or paint, or draw to live, so by this definition digital art is art, but the conflict lies within the creation of the art, because some say it takes a lot of talent to paint and not to paint digitally. I myself cannot paint very well, but I can and have done some pretty cool digital art. I also believe that digital art is easier and harder than normal painting. The advantages to digital painting is the layers, and effects and the undo button. The layers allow you to work on individual pieces of the picture at a time so you can move them and keep them separate to work on later. The effects allow you to make things black and white, or coloured, changing the contrast, and editing little details. The undo button allows someone to reverse a mistake. Painters who use traditional media don’t have these advantages, which is why many say it is easier. I don’t believe that is true, it is an easy way for amateur artist to make decent art, but if you want to see digital art that looks like a photo, or has extreme details or really is amazing in all aspects, that comes from the artist’s experiences and knowledge about art, and a good understanding of the program. A lot of digital paintings take more than 10 hours, and take extreme patience from the creator, as it is very easy to fall bored or impatient and just take the easy simple way out. There are hundreds of digital artists on the internet, hundreds of them are amazing, and hundreds of them are ok for a digital artist. I believe because of the differences between painting and digital painting that neither are, or aren’t art, but that they should both be seen as different types of art, like comparing sculpture to a sketch. *The Pictures below belong to their rightful owner(s) and creator(s)* Awesome digital art: http://neondragon.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3cx73u http://shinerai.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4tpf6r http://whitespiritwolf.deviantart.com/gallery/31575332#/d3e3ra5 http://vampireprincess007.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3a056c Awesome Traditional Art: http://drachenmagier.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d320slu http://imaginism.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=120#/d27emkp http://pearleden.deviantart.com/art/Aysses-Destiny-140418958?q=gallery%3Apearleden%2F17255&qo=21 |
