Text III: "Imatges and their fixed durations"

"Cinema has an interior rhythm, that of the image and an exterior rhythm, between the images; that means they are created by the order of successions of the imatges and their fixed durations."

Text

"The film is very much like a moving drawing. One motif follows another, each presented with the diagrammatic clarity of blackboard drawing all arranged along a diagonal axis."

Motion

Movement. Abstaction.


Only the acts and their movement

"The lack of this "present" is the essential characteristic of film. Not because films are still unperfected, not because even today their moving forms remain mute, but simply because they are only the acts and the movement of people, and not people themselves."



Fragment from Georg Lukacs in an article of 1913.

Negative impression negativated = +


It becomes to something that seems positive. 
Changing from death into life. 
Bright and peaceful colours shining in the space. 
Space.

Notable Events
__________________________________________________________

  • Twelve school children and a teacher died when their minibus crashed into a parked motorway maintenance vehicle just after midnight on 18 November 1993. The inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death for all of the victims but noted that none of the children were wearing seatbelts and that the side-facing bench seating was dangerous.[citation needed] Seatbelts were subsequently made compulsory equipment on all coaches and minibuses (more than 20 years after they had been compulsory on cars).[citation needed] It has been compulsory for passengers to wear seatbelts on coaches and minibuses since 2006.[9]
  • A motor cycle rider was shot dead between junctions 13 and 12 on 12 August 2007.[10][11] The victim was a member of the Hells Angels on his way home from the Bulldog Bash.[12] In October 2008, a man pleaded guilty to murder ahead of the trial of six other men on charges of murder and firearms offences.
  • Jimmy Davis, a 21-year-old Watford footballer on loan from Manchester United, died on a stretch of the M40 in Oxfordshire in the early hours of 9 August 2003 after his BMWcollided with a lorry. The footballer was over the drink-drive limit and had been driving at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour (190 km/h).[13]
  • In 2002 more than 100 vehicles were involved in a pile-up near High Wycombe that resulted in two deaths.[14][15]
  • On the 18th July 2012, a woman driver in her sixties died, after being burnt alive, in an inferno sparked by a Porsche, which crashed into back of her car after she broke down in middle lane.[16]


Ideas of space



  • "It is the three-dimensional field which define and express volumetric forms."

  • "The space is a means of expression of the architecture itself is not accidental resulting three-dimensional orientation of planes and volumes."

  • "Other means of expression, valid in themselves for the arts, for example, such as line, color, surface texture, are but media configurators space of the architecture."
