Assessment of Lesson 5 and 6

Art Appreciation

1. What is an Artisan and the Guilds?

 Guilds were a type of social fellowship, an association structured with
rules, customs, rights, and responsibilities. It’s also an “association of
artisans and merchants who oversee the practice of their craft/trade in
a particular area”. An artisan develops immense skill and expertise in
his/her craft.

2. The difference between Medium and Technique.

own body or a the application of

3. What are the stages of the Pre-production process and briefly explain
each.

a. Finalize a Shooting Script

 Tweaks and whole scenes may be edited, added, or deleted at anytime
(sometimes even in post-production!) but for the most part your
shooting script should be ready to shoot by the time the director first
calls action.
b. Storyboards & Shot Lists
 Creating a visual interpretation of the screenplay for the director
and cinematographer to reference and prepare for.

c. Find the Right Crew

 You should work to get the entire team rounded out before pre-
production gets too involved. After all, these are the women & men
who will be carrying out a lot of these tasks, and the sooner they are
involved in the creative process, the more valuable their input will be.

d. Location Scouting
 Smartest thing to do is hire a professional location scout who already
has locales in mind or knows how to find original ones perfect for
your script.

e. Create a Proper Budget (and Stick to It!)

 Finalizing your budget, to make sure you can find the gear and afford
the locations you want to use. This is never the most fun part of pre-
production, but very often it’s the most important.

f. Choose Your Gear

 After your first film you may establish a relationship with a particular
rental house and can negotiate discounts and figure out just exactly
what your budget will allow when it comes to peripheral equipment.

g. Clear That Red Tape

 Permits are required from municipal governments to shoot on public
property and location agreements are typically needed for use of
private homes—especially if you’ll need to move furniture or
equipment around or repaint the walls after the shoot, etc. You’ll also
need insurance to protect yourself in the event you or one of your
crew members accidentally do damage to the location or your rented
film equipment.
h. Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse
 Sometimes finding the perfect cast could make a filmmaker
overconfident, leading them to put too much responsibility on their
cast to be self-sufficient. The best way to get through pre-production
is to learn the skills first and then master them with experience and
resolve.

4. What is a Combined or Hybrid Art?

Give examples
 Where different art forms interact and create something new.
Examples:
“Dance, theatre, live art, installation, film, video art, mime, documentary,
masks, photography, puppetry and design evaluating the performance
work of professional contemporary companies.”

5. What are the two main elements of art and how does it differ from
each other. Give examples for each.
 The two main elements of art are Visual and Shape & Form.

Examples:

 Visual - The visual arts are art forms such as painting,

drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and ceramics.

 Shape and Form- Shapes are the most basic figures like
rectangles, circles, triangles, and squares while forms are the
more complex structures like sphere, cube, cone, etc.
