Museum of Moving Images

I was interested to go to The museum of Moing images when we went two weeks ago. I've never been before but being that I used to live in Astoria I would pass the unique doors every so often and promise myself I'd make a visit.  When we went I had the misfortune of only having an hour long visit but this was enough I pull me in and know I need to come back to see the rest.

Seeing all the old cameras was interesting to me because it shows how even years and years ago the moving image has great importance in culture.  People were hungry for this new world art that they were willing to stand in front of a camera and wind a crank in order to see what would happen to the famous Charlie Chaplin.  The moving image created a whole new form of entertainment that people wanted more and more of.  Which led to the advancements we have today.

Perhaps the greatest learning experience of the day for me was when we talked about audio in movies.  To separate each piece of audio made me realize how much goes into the sound we hear in everyday tv and movies. I never thought about each sound affect, dialogue, music piece and how only when they are orchestrated together do they form the captivating results an audience gets to see.

The only downfall of the visit is now I listen to movie audio and spend my time guessing what each sound effect actually is!
