Montage

Montage is a lot of a pictures or videos in a sequence while music is playing in the background. Sergei Eisenstein was a Russian that made movies. Traditionally I do explosions best but i can do anything else.

Codes

CODECS

Codecs are not easy, you need to know what your doing in order to read and do codes. you will need to know chroma subsampling, spatial compression, and temporal compression. these are

easy to learn but here are there definitions.

Chroma subsampling-

1.  is the practice of encoding images by implementing less resolution for chroma information than for luma information, taking advantage of the human visual system's lower acuity for color differences than for luminance.

Spatial Compression-

s where unnecessary information from an image is discarded, resulting in smaller files and faster load times. It does not affect image quality in any way, and from a users perspective will only mean faster load times.

Temporal Compression-

Reducing digital video file sizes by compressing frames as a group. Also known as the 

"interframe" method. 

The Beginning

The Beginning

Story is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment for a period of time. the difference between story and plot is that plot doesn't have a setting or characters all it has is a plot. 
I think the article makes perfect sense. I think too often we find the plot first because the sequence of events will have some form of hook to it, a twist or some shock factor to keep the audience engaged. I'd prefer my audience to be part of a world I'd created, not simply waiting to see what happens next. By knowing 100% who your characters are, you can throw any event in because you will know exactly how they would react to it. Plot focused films have a tendency of having unbelievable characters with no personal story to them. And as Abbas Kiarostami says "Good cinema is what we can believe and bad cinema is what we can't believe".

I agree with Forster's definition of story it doesn't hold up for film.
