Key ideas
Film evolved from silent, black-and-white shorts to modern cinema.
Realism aims to present the world as it appears, with minimal manipulation.
A storyboard maps out shots frame by frame before filming.
Adaptation reshapes a source text for the film medium.
New technologies (streaming, CGI, virtual production) reshape filmmaking.
Watch out for
- Assuming film always looked and worked as it does now.
- Treating Realism and Formalism as strict either/or categories.
- Thinking a storyboard is just rough sketches with no plan.
