JOURNAL SET 2



CINEMAGRAPH



The term "cinemagraph" was coined by U.S. photographers Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, who used the technique to animate their fashion and new photographs. It is the combination of "cinema" and "photograph".

Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. Cinemagraphs can give the illusion that the viewer is watching a video.

The process of producing a cinemagraph is not so hard. It has some basic steps. First of all, a series of photographs is taken or a video is recorded. Then by using image editing software, the photographs or the video frames are composed into a seamless loop of sequential frames. During this process, the animated GIF file format is often used. This format is used in such a manner that motion in part of the subject between exposures is perceived as a repeating or continued motion, in contrast with the stillness of the rest of the image.


As you can see in the photograph, only taxis on one road and some of the people are moving. The rest of the cars and people are still as in other non-cinamagraph photographs.

In my opinion, these cinemagraphs are very funny and stunning. I would like to display some more cinemagraphs so that you can enjoy much more. :)
