The YFA collects and preserves Yorkshire based or made films and other moving images, they are a charity and provide public access to their archive. Films both Amateur and Profession can be deposited to the YFA where they will review it to see if it matches their requirements. The archive is easy to navigate to help you find films depending on genre, decade or region of Yorkshire.
Russian Ark by Aleksandr Sokvrov
The unique thing about this film is that it was shot using a 96 minute steadicam sequence shot
Having never seen the film I have chosen this scene to analyse with the limited knowledge that I know about the movie. The camera has to capture a lot in this 9 minute sequence, crossing across the ballroom a number of times as well as flirting on the outskirts to view all that it can view. On the cameras movements, it's all very fluid as though the camera is just another dancer at the ball or graceful noble who eyes the events with a raised chin and judgemental eye. The way that the camera also piggy backs off various characters to get from one place to another in a more affluent manner as opposed to just using a simple sweep across the room to get to the next focal point. It was a very interesting sequence to watch as there are so many things going on at once and therefore so much to take in, from the main characters to the dancing to the orchestra to the artwork and the costumes as well as general décor it's no surprise the scene is so long yet doesn't seem long enough.
Stereoscopic Verses Anaglyph
Both of these are a form of 3D viewing. The Former refers to the way we watch 3D today, in the cinema or at home with the use of "Real 3D Glasses" this way of viewing imagery using two offset images that each eye processes separately and then brings together to create a 3D image.

What we are seeing externally without the glasses
The Glasses that help the image come together and seem 3D
The latter on the hand is still a form of Stereoscopy, but this instead uses two opposing colours to create the same effect. This is easier to achieve but the realism of the image is distorted because of the obvious colouring issues.
What we see on the screen without the use of the glasses, not the Red and Blue double imagery in contrast to the double picture shown in the Stereoscopic example.

Final Project
The final project for the semester involves constructing a comedy piece. We were given all the raw footage of a previous students short film. Out if the footage we were given we have to pick one scene to construct perfectly. The piece has to be two minutes long and it is an individual task.
