Going to the Museum of the Moving Image was a great experience. It was exciting to see how these artifacts were actually from the movies/shows themselves. The first thing that I found interesting were the amount of work that was put into making a face mask. The tour guide explained how it was only for a one time use and the cast would try to shoot for a long period of time to put that mask into good use. The mask would then be remade for shootings for other days. The details put into making the mask was impressive, especially how the wrinkles were suppose to be and it totally transformed someone's face completely. It's really cool to see the behind the scenes and how everything was created for TV.
Another artifact that I found interesting was the first color camera and how it was only able to capture three colors: red, yellow and green. There were so many projectors, televisions, etc. We can really see how technology has really transformed and how media has so many new technologies given to them to make something happen. The size of every film related technology were huge back in the days. Now, we use equipments that are ten times smaller and has just as many functions.
