Key Concepts

 Technique is the manner in which artists use and manipulate materials to achieve the
desired form effect, and communicate the desired concept or meaning according to his
or her personal style (modern, neoclassic, etc.). The distinctive character or nature of
the medium determines the technique.

Traditional Techniques:
1. Wood carving is an art that has been practiced all over the world but very avidly in
Southeast Asia where great pieces of woodwork have been crafted throughout the ages.
2. Silk-screen printing is one of the most popular printing techniques and is most-used by
companies when printing design onto products of different sizes and materials.
3. Analogue photography refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A
roll of film loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light
interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded.
4. Film production is the process of making a film. The direction or production of films for
the cinema or television. It .is a visual story telling.
5. Stages of Filmmaking:
1. Development - the ideas for the film are created, rights to books/plays are
bought etc., and the screenplay is written. Financing for the project has to be sought
and green lit.
2. Pre-production - Preparation are made for the shoot, in which cast and film
crew are hired, locations are selected and sets are built.
3. Production - The raw elements for the film are recorded during the film shoot.
4. Post production - The images, sound, and visual effects of the recorded film
are edited.
5. Distribution - The finished film is distributed and screened in cinemas and
released to home video.
Contemporary Techniques
1. Digital photography -uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photo detectors to
capture images focused by a lens, as opposed.to an exposure on photographic film.
2. Digital film making- is the norm these days, enabling filmmakers to blend art and digital
media and speed up the process of film making as well as be more creative and
enterprising in the special effects department.
3. Music production - the process of creating a recorded music project.
4. Industrial design- is a combination of art and engineering; drawing skills, creativity and
technical knowledge are critical.
5. Robotics-is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and
engineering.
