Hi There
My name is Simon and I'm the proprietor of Odyssey Films. Over the coming months I'm going to blog about the language of the moving image. There are a couple of terms i'm going to use throughout my blogs which I want to clarify now for the sake of further discussions. They are:
Motion Aesthetics (the way in which motion affects our thoughts and emotions), and:
Motion Perception (our ability to perceive and interpret movement)
When we watch a film or video production, there are several types of motion that directly affect us, namely:
1. Camera motion (the way the camera moves within its environment)
2. Staging (the way an actor or model moves within their setting)
3. Editing (the way we cut around an image and transition through time)
The first chapter of my blog will focus on the how camera movement helps to influence our emotions. Motion perception is directly hardwired into our brains, and as you will come to learn, this motion can have a profound influence on our attention and emotional state. The greater your understanding of motion aesthetics, the greater your ability to influence the viewers emotional experience.
I'm going to show you how powerful this tool can be, and how in the right hands it can captivate an audience and entice customers to your product / service. Whether you're making a corporate video, commercial or feature film, its essential you understand the art of motion aesthetics.
