Quote 7 - Stanley Kubrick

"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle." Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick was a film director, writer, producer and photographer. His most notable works include: Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and A Clockwork Orange

I completely, and utterly agree with this quote, 100%. In film-making you can convey emotion and mood much, much more easily than an illustrated piece of work. You do have to think about the music that will play in the background, and the lighting and colour captured in the film, to make sure you are getting across the mood and emotion you want to be captured and portrayed, but it is a lot easier and powerful than any other form. It is so hard to capture a mood and/or emotion with illustration, and illustrator's who achieve this, I truly admire. I've never been one of those people who would go to watch and film, and then spend the whole film and afterwards, critically evaluating it, e.g. good shots? right music? right/good actors?, but since I have started Art College, I am beginning to be more aware of great film making, and appreciating as an art form of its own.
