 * Rationale**

Film has always been an interest of mine for quite a while now. From an early age I began to watch old black and white movies from the 1930’s and 40’s. Although these movies lacked over the top special effects, present day actors and colour, they had different characteristics to offer. They opened up a new world to me full of actors, writers and directors that were waiting to be explored.

Although I enjoy watching current films, for me, the black and white ones stand out because of the fast and clever dialogue, the wardrobe, and the musical scores. When I watch a black and white movie, I feel like I’m going back in time.

With this concept map, I wanted to take a step back from the high tech production capabilities that are available today, and look at film in its purest from: as the art of observation.

While any of these words on my map could easily be elaborated into many more strands of thought, my goal was to look at the basics of film production. Specifically, I wanted to touch upon the relationship between production and the audience and how a film is made.

As with any artistic endeavour, the creator has a specific message, but it is up to the viewer to take something from it and make the piece their own. The black, white and gold colour scheme was inspired by the “Golden Age” of film, when movies really started to take off. The old style film reel countdown on the map also adds a touch of nostalgia.
