Final Project: Initial Idea

 For my final project in this term I will make short movie. I want to show in few minutes the evolution of filmmaking. Using film clippings and photos edited together, I want to show how cinematography developed. In the video I want to show snippets of films from each decade.



This first ever film combines photos together to create the illusion of motion picture.







Casablanca is a timeless film made in the 1940s.






Avatar is the film that brought the highest revenue in history and the second part is third in the ranking behind Avengers: Endgame.




Another idea is to make a video in which I show different aspects of filmmaking and their evolution. How the equipment and the way of creating films have changed from the first cameras in silent movies to modern times and 3D technology. 
I got some ideas from the video below.






I find the idea of ​​showing shots of films from different eras so that you can see the contrast between them very interesting.
