I was supposed to be studying for a series of quizzes scheduled tomorrow. The battle of academics and passion commenced. But somehow the artsy side of me won. That's why i am writing right now on this blog that I've just created. It has been quite some time since i've planned to start something like this. A blog or a site where i can share my passion for movies. But i felt bad for succumbing to the temptation of arts and leaving out science. So i decided to bring them together, that way i won't have to choose.
Like the name suggests, i made this blog for both science and films. News, information, ideas, and anything i find interesting. For the love of both the field of science and the majestic world of films.
I would like to talk about something that has to do with both science and films for my first post. And that is a camera. Cameras are basic tools for photography and cinematography. They use films or memory cards to record whatever it is you want them to record. A single frame for photography or 24 frames per second for movies. The realisation that these machines were developed by using science and for the development of art leaves me in awe. If you look inside a modern day DSLR you would see stuff that work by following scientific principles. All of them work together to produce a piece of art. Also, back in the day, you would have to have your films developed and that process involves a hell lot of science too. I guess what i want to say is that science and art coexist harmoniously. They may be different when they are being taught. They may be different in books. They may be different when being practiced. But if you pay attention and you look real close, you'd know that they aren't that different.
