In our introduction lesson we learnt about the start of photography and how images were first made, we watched a programme called 'The Genius of photography' this showed us how they got the idea of creating images by camera obscura. The camera obscura was a room or small building with no windows. One tiny hole, fitted with a lens projected images from outside the room onto the far wall inside it. The image was upside down and not very clear, but it was a good for artists. The projected image could be traced and then used for drawing or painting.
The first permenant photo took eight hours which was taken in 1826 by NiŽpce
Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre were the creaters of copper images and the first permenant negative film.
Kodak was first invented in the year 1888 by George Eastman.
Semiotics and Representation
We learnt about semenotics through the famous artist Magritte who painted a picture of a pipe and titled it 'this is not a pipe' in french. his point was that the picture is an image of the pipe not the actual pipe. in the year which this was painted and him to say this was quite imaginative. people after him now say to that particualr image that its not a painting of a pipe but a digital image of a photograph of the paining.
Semiotics is the study of signing system. it allows media texts to be taken apart.
Deconstructed to show how meaning (as well as an important aspects such as trust) are created.
