This is a technique where a voice is used in a film but is not part of the narrative. The voice-over is speaking by a specialist voice actor. The filmmakers put the sound of a human voice over images shown on the screen that can be related to the images being shown or not. Also the voice-over is often used when a character reflected back on their past.

FILMMAKING
Hi everyone I would talk about filmmaking or film production. This is the process of making a film, from an initial story idea or commission, through scriptwriting, shooting, editing, directing and distribution to an audience. In general it involve a lot of people to do this work and takes from a few months to several years to complete. Filmmaking takes place all over the world in a huge range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and techniques. Film production or filmmaking occurs in five stages that are development were the script is written and drafted into a workable blueprint for a film. Pre-production that is when preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and crew are hired, locations are selected, and sets are built. Then is production where the raw elements for the finished film are recorded. The post- production that is when The film is edited like when the production sound is edited, music tracks are composed, performed and recorded, if a film is sought to have a score sound effects are designed and recorded and any other computer-graphic visual effects are digitally added etc. Finally is the sales and distribution when the film is screened for potential buyers, is picked up by a distributor and reaches its cinema or home media audience.

TRAILERS (film)
Hi everybody today I want to talk about TRAILERS because I think is one of the most important thinks in film and in the promotions of movies. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening, in general the trailers didn´t last too long there are just an advances of a movie that is not show on screen yet. The first trailer shown in a U.S. movie theater was in November 1913, when Nils Granlund produced a short promotional film for the musical The Pleasure Seekers. Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than two and a half minutes, the maximum length allowed by the MPAA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.

AWAKENINGS

This movie was made in 1990 and was directed by Penny Marshall, the principal characters were Richard Libertini as Sidney and Robert De Niro as Leonard Lower.

It tells the true story of British neurologist Oliver Sacks, fictionalized as American Malcolm Sayer and portrayed by Robin Williams who, in 1969, discovers beneficial effects of the then-new drug L-Dopa. Well this film is very interesting and called the people attention, this movie used a lot of sounds that give emphasis to the scenes and make them more interesting. The used of different shots and angles is also seen in this movie, like bird eye, over the shoulder, low angle, long shot, close up, extreme close up and others.

SILENT FILMS

Hi everybody today I’m going to talk about Silent Films, this type of film was the first films that were presented on screens. Silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound, especially spoken dialogue. The first projected sequential proto-movie was made by Edward Muybridge and was between 1877 and 1880. The art of motion pictures grew into full in the silent era before silent films were replaced by "talking pictures" in the late 1920s. The first narrative film was created by Louis Le Prince in 1888. Well because silent films had no synchronized sound for dialogue, onscreen titles were used to narrate story points, the most important points. Later on the title writer became a key professional in silent film and was often separate from the scenario writer who created the story, From the beginning, music was recognized as essential, contributing to the atmosphere and giving the audience vital emotion. Also an important point was that silent film actors emphasized body language and facial expression so that the audience could better understand what an actor was feeling and trying to say on screen.
