Lesson 1: What is semiotic?
Semiotic principles in order to understand signs and the semiotic process
Lesson 2: The Cinematographic invention
What is cinema? Cinematic origins and ontology from movement to photographic principles
Lesson 3: Cinematographic traditional language
Where lies analogic cinematographic essence? How does it creates meaning?
Lesson 4: Cinematographic semiotics
Where does cinematographic meaning lie? The very essence of cinematographic argument and syntaxis
Lesson 5: The photographic fallacy, the kinetic importance and the Kuleshov effect
Many Cinematographic theorists say that the cinematographic essence is in photography, are they correct or wrong?
Lesson 6: The animation conflict
Movement as cinematographic ontology then places animation as cinema as well, here we will analyze animation and cinema theoretical implications.
Lesson 7: The digital complication
What is digital cinema? How digitality has to be studied in film context? Pixels and hybridization concept.
Lesson 8: Digital cinema, light and electromagnetic semiotic concepts
Clerk Maxwell said electromagnetism is light with other configuration, but still light, so we are still playing with light in digital film
Lesson 9: Theoretical conclusions about cinematographic digital concepts such as light, movement, time and space
In order to understand cinema we need to understand light, movement, time and space and their digital representations
Lesson10: Practical cinematic exercise
To create a digital cinematic theory we need not only to contemplate the art but to make the art so this is a final practical exercise on digital possibilities.
