Good film language glossary for serious film studies!

oxelatol · 15 years ago · v1.0.1

A comprehensive collection of film and film analysis terms for serious film studies. The visual markers are particularly useful for providing a quick overview of stylistic means and techniques. The best thing is that I have these terms and graphics now always in my pocket for quick reference while watching a film or doing a film analysis in the classroom. A print function would be even more useful.

Systematisch, umfassend und gut navigierbar... - klasse!

mberghoff · 15 years ago · v1.0.1

Für mich als Filmbegeisterten Vielseher endlich mal ein Lichtblick im Dschungel der Begrifflichkeiten zur Filmanalyse. So systematisch und umfassend wie hier habe ich das Vokabular noch nie gesehen. Und eine intelligente Navigation wird neben anschaulichen Symbolen für die Inhalte auch noch geboten. Legt doch noch ein paar Links zu passenden Filmbeispielen dazu und macht das ganze ausdruckbar - dann ist das sogar eine super Lernumgebung. Ich bin begeistert.

Ein unentbehrliches Tool

prinz61 · 15 years ago · v1.0.1

Close up ist ein unentbehrliches Tool für Filmemacher aber auch für Lehrer und Studenten, die überall und offline die wichtigste Informationen über die Filmtechnik und -sprache brauchen. Die Visualisierungen sind die perfekte Ergänzung, um schnell und effektiv die Bedeutung der Begriffe zu verstehen. Die Applikation ist einfach zu bedienen, und die Informationen sehr präzise. Thanks a lot!

Filmanalyse in der Hosentasche

interaktionist · 15 years ago · v1.0.1

Umfangreiches englischsprachiges Film- und Filmspracheglossar. Ideal zum schnellen Nachschlagen von Begriffen. Die wichtigsten Begriffe haben kleine Visualisierungen, die in der App Visual marker genannt werden. Diese lassen sich bei Betrachtung eines Film(auschnitts) wie eine Checkliste verwenden - man SIEHT worauf man achten kann. Mit der Favoritenfunktion kann ich mir meine "basics" für den Einsatz im Unterricht zusammenstellen. Eine iPad-gemäße Auflösung wäre wünschenswert.

Sehr informativ - THANKS

Great app. I looked around for something like it and this is by far the best available.

What it says it is, no ads and free

Love little apps like this, would definitely buy a beer for these guys. It would be handy though to be able to swipe side to side in the definition page of a word to go to the next indexed word for those who are brushing up on their filming vocab. Thanks you guys!
