The decline of the Elite and rise of capitalism

The masses have always remained more or less indifferent to culture in the process of development. But today such culture is being abandoned by those to whom it actually belongs—our ruling class. For it is to the latter that the avant- garde belongs. And now this elite is rapidly shrinking. Since the avant-garde forms the only living culture we now have, the survival in the near future of culture in general is thus threatened.
Another mass product of Western Industrialism, it has gone on a triumphal tour of the world, crowding out and defacing native cultures in one colonial county after another, so that it is now by way of becoming a universal culture, the first universal culture ever beheld.

Documentary and Documentation Lecture notes

A document is considered a basic theoretical construct. It is everything which may be preserved or represented in order to serve as evidence for some purpose. The classical example provided by Suzanne Briet is an antelope: "An antelope running wild on the plains of Africa should not be considered a document, she rules. But if it were to be captured, taken to a zoo and made an object of study, it has been made into a document. It has become physical evidence being used by those who study it. Indeed, scholarly articles written about the antelope are secondary documents since the antelope itself is the primary document.

Challenging early conventions: the1960s 

 Direct Cinema in the US (D.A. Pennebaker, The Maysles Brothers, Fred Wiseman), aimed to present social and political issues in a direct, unmediated way giving the impression that events are recorded exactly as they happened without the involvement of the filmmaker.

Cinéma Vérité (‘cinema truth’, e.g. Jean Rouch): a minimalist style of film making that conveys the sense that the viewer is given direct view of what was actually happening in front of the camera without the artifice usually incorporated in the film-making process.

Group Project Poster

1. I selected the background that i wanted to use on my poster and placed it over my image.

 2. I then used the quick selection tool to select the hands and burger.

 3. I then went to Select > inverse > delete. This deleted the previous background.

 4. I then created a new layer. I selected the brush tool then i went to > Window > Brush. I made the hardness 30% and size jitter 100%.

 5. I then went over the areas that i wanted the mold of the burger to be. I did the same for the disease blood effect of the hands but on a separate layer.

 6. I then double clicked on the layer and made fill opacity 0%. I then selected Bevel and Emboss and selected how deep and dark i wanted the mold on the burger and the blood on the hands.






7. After this i created another layer and selected the colour i wanted and went over the mold and blood area. I then changed the mode to overlay.

 

8. I then selected > T and typed in my title and slogan of the project mini film. I selected the size and font that i wanted.
