MOMI REVIEW

I resonate with the microphones because they offer and play such an important role in film.  It is really neat to see the evolution and the progression of how sound has improved over the years through new mics coming out. Music and ven voices just completely change the mood and emotion in film.  The impact is so great it engages the audience and really evokes feeling. In the sense of the persistence of vision it is an optical illusion with our minds. Having sound files that in for our mind versus a silent film it is almost like you can hear the motion. 

I also resonated with the TV’s in the museum.  The style overall changed through the years, based on the targeted customer. This did not only speak to how sexist times were in the past but also plays into the prestanice of vision.  Being and optical illusion i think this is a neat concept that an illusion is deceiving and for the people buying the TV’s at the time they did not even know they were being deceived in such a sexist way and that is really corrupting and dehumanizing. This deception on gender ultimately belittled women and their role in daily life. 

The more literal interpretation on the persistence of vision is the Kinetoscope, Zoetrope, and Thaumatrope. All these objects mess with our brains psychologically because our brain fills in the space in between the pictures making it look like a constant motion or video. This is something really neat that our brain just registers and being able to mess around and control the number of frames per second is cool. This really resonated with me because I find the psychology part so neat that is behind it. No matter how many pieces of advanced technology there are around us it is always fascinating.
