This series of lectures from David Thorburn are FABulous!! His exuberance about the topic is infectious....Now I watch films in an entirely different...and much richer...way. Thank you!!
l😊l you
This is the type of lecture I would clap to at the very end.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to be a part of the listeners of this great course of David Thorburn!
Thanks for sharing this content! Education must be free and for all! With love from Kazakhstan
I watched all of this fantastic series and am having a hard time finding similar lecture series like this.
Esse tipo de conteúdo é um ouro que precisa de carinho. ❤️
The explanation of the reason for point up and to screen right only serves to emphasize the comedy of the act. You are a very physically expressive speaker which makes for lectures that are interesting beyond their content. thanks
Love this. 22 more to go.
The segment between @41:00 and @42:00 is an eye opener.
great lecture
Thank you so much! This is very interesting. =)
'the woman' in a beast at bay is mary pickford, wish the lecturer would acknowledge her since she was so important in early film history.

brilliant prof
Omg! Thank you so much ❤
the education i craved ❤️
around 43:00 According to the famous Peter Bogdanovich book, the first scene shot with a moving camera was created by Alan Dwan. Dwan was a GE salesman who worked selling Sodium Vapor light bulbs to Hollywood studios. One day he had a conversation with the great Electric Engineer Charles 'Proteus' Steinmentz. He told Steinmetz that he really liked the time he spent inside the sudios but did not like his jobt at GE that much. Steinmentz askee him if he had any experience with acting (he had done theater in high shcool) and suggested he should do what he liked and try to find a job in Hollywood.
Allan Dwan directed the first Zorro film ever!
Thank you
Thank you MIT and thank you Prof. Thorburn for this lecture video..On cinema I see lectures of Prof Thorburn only..are there any other lectures by other professors on the subject of cinema /TV/Media/..?
there are a few on the mit open courseware page under philosophy. philosophy in/on film.
here is one
ocw.mit.edu/courses/linguistics-and-philosophy/24-213-philosophy-of-film-fall-2004/index.htm
Thank you so much indeed. I tried mailing Prof Thorburn but I am not sure whether he got my mail...I thought it would be nice to be in touch.
0:40 When the professor asked, "Why would we think of film as a form of chemistry?" - I thought the answer he was looking for was the Walter White quote from the Breaking Bad pilot: "...technically, chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change." to tie it to this quote, film in a sense is a study of society, usually the outliers, and is a study of the changes these characters go through.
My answer was that like how the laws of atoms, particles, and change are fundamental in our world, so are the imaginary particles within the world created by a filmmaker, especially when you consider the art of animation.
Excellent
Photographers and Directors of Photography did learn about film chemistry in college. (at least in the good ones)
thanks for professor Miyazaki
very helpful😅
The Fred Ott Principal applies to CZcams as well. How long did it take to go from being a platform for cute cat videos to a learning hub to share information on complex topics?
is there something equal to this on animation?
Poor Greg.
the elephant broke my heart. you should have warned that there would be such a cruel scene.
I mean he did say that the clip would show an elephant getting electrocuted to death but yeah pretty intense stuff
How else are you gonna know what type of current is dangerous
That guy at @37:45, world's first method actor?
I’m glad to be watching this on CZcams bc if I was in the class I’d be afraid this guy is going to punch me
Would you guys make an updated version or not?
Chaplin is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in cinema
This is Excellent . Have a question - does MIT have any script writing course !! Thanks
Hmmm... For script writing we have a few but probably not in the direction you are looking for since you are commenting on a film course. We have writing for educational videos: MIT 20.219 Becoming the Next Bill Nye: Writing and Hosting the Educational Show, IAP 2015; on MIT OpenCourseWare at:ocw.mit.edu/20-219IAP15 CZcams playlist: czcams.com/play/PLUl4u3cNGP61PvFQDWp8FW_1iMgBf6LCY.html. We also have a course on playwriting: ocw.mit.edu/courses/music-and-theater-arts/21m-604-playwriting-i-spring-2005/. Sorry we don't have more. We hope some of it is of some help. Best wishes!
@@mitocw Thank You
Does anyone have a film viewing list for this course? It appears the students were instructed to watch certain films at certain junctures, such as The Great Train Robbery. I'd love a complete list of the films, and when to watch them in relation to these lectures. Thank you.
See the Film & Readings section of the course materials on MIT OpenCourseWare at: ocw.mit.edu/21L-011F13. Best wishes on your studies!
@@mitocw Got it, thanks!
Is there a playlist for all these that I missed?
czcams.com/play/PLUl4u3cNGP63wurgwdJKo6UEYBWDLnmCj.html
"Maybe there are Taliban cultures that dream of being free of movies..." I cackled hard on this line XD
👍
where do I get list of films to w please?

🤔
Who is the target market for this course mit? Is it aimed at people pursuing careers in front or behind the camera?

Rip that elephant tho
Memx the prof must be very excited telling them this but that part is cruel anyway. and he could have chosen not to show that
@@drendelous Sometimes cruel things are necessary. Some of the greatest documentaries are about sickening subject matters. Or the bull getting slaughtered in Apocalypse Now.
Why does he look like Narendara Modi
😂 true
This is scandalous. You have completely ignored the fact that the Lumiere brothers in Lyon, France developed the first movie camera and made the first film (workers leaving the factory, along with the garden hose gimmick you did show but did not attribute) You should be ashamed of yourself as a lecturer.
I think that the essence of the lecture was to indicate trends in the evolution of cinema, not in the name dropping. That’s probably why he ignored some
Threshold for outrage gets lower and lower
There were multiple Lumiere brothers clips
What a load of waffle. Is this really a degree (graduate?) course?
