Research on Chrystallis



A chrysalis (Latin chrysallis, from Greek χρυσαλλίς = chrysallís, pl: chrysalides) or nympha is the pupal stage of butterflies. The term is derived from the metallic gold-coloration found in the pupae of many butterflies, referred to by the Greek term χρυσός (chrysós) for gold.
When the caterpillar is fully grown, it makes a button of silk which it uses to fasten its body to a leaf or a twig. Then the caterpillar's skin comes off for the final time. Under this old skin is a hard skin called a chrysalis.[4]
Because chrysalides are often showy and are formed in the open, they are the most familiar examples of pupae. Most chrysalides are attached to a surface by a Velcro-like arrangement of a silken pad spun by the caterpillar, usually cemented to the underside of a perch, and the cremaster, a hook-shaped protuberance from the rear of the chrysalis at the tip of the pupal abdomen by which the caterpillar fixes itself to the pad of silk.
Like other types of pupae, the chrysalis stage in most butterflies is one in which there is little movement. However, some butterfly pupae are capable of moving the abdominal segments to produce sounds or to scare away potential predators. Within the chrysalis, growth and differentiation occur. The adult butterfly emerges (ecloses) from this and expands its wings by pumping haemolymph into the wing veins.[5] Although this sudden and rapid change from pupa to imago is often called metamorphosis, metamorphosis is really the whole series of changes that an insect undergoes from egg to adult.
On emerging the butterfly uses a liquid which softens the shell of the chrysalis. Additionally, it uses two sharp claws located on the thick joints at the base of the forewings to help make its way out. [6] Having emerged from the chrysalis, the butterfly will usually sit on the empty shell in order to expand and harden its wings. However, if the chrysalis was near the ground (such as if it fell off from its silk pad), the butterfly would find another vertical surface to rest upon and harden its wings (such as a wall or fence).
Moth pupae are usually dark in color and either formed in underground cells, loose in the soil, or their pupa is contained in a protective silk case called a cocoon.
It is important to differentiate between pupa, chrysalis and cocoon. The pupa is the stage between the larva and adult stages. The chrysalis is a butterfly pupa. A cocoon is a silk case that moths, and sometimes other insects, spin around the pupa.

[edit] Cocoon


The tough brown cocoon of an Emperor Gum Moth
A cocoon is a casing spun of silk by many moth caterpillars,[7] and numerous other holometabolous insect larvae as a protective covering for the pupa.
Cocoons may be tough or soft, opaque or translucent, solid or meshlike, of various colors, or composed of multiple layers, depending on the type of insect larva producing it. Many moth caterpillars shed the larval hairs (setae) and incorporate them into the cocoon; if these are urticating hairs then the cocoon is also irritating to the touch. Some larvae attach small twigs, fecal pellets or pieces of vegetation to the outside of their cocoon in an attempt to disguise it from predators. Others spin their cocoon in a concealed location – on the underside of a leaf, in a crevice, down near the base of a tree trunk, suspended from a twig or concealed in the leaf litter.[8]
The silk in the cocoon of the silk moth can be unravelled to get silk fibre which makes this moth the most economically important of all Lepidopterans. The moth is the only completely domesticated Lepidopteran and does not exist in the wild.
Insects that pupate in a cocoon must escape from it, and they do this either by the pupa cutting its way out, or by secreting fluids that soften the cocoon. Some cocoons are constructed with built-in lines of weakness along which they will tear easily from inside, or with exit holes that only allow a one-way passage out; such features facilitate the escape of the adult insect after it emerges from the pupal skin.

Research Paint on Glass animation

Paint-on-glass animation is a technique for making animated films by manipulating slow-drying oil paints on sheets of glass. Gouache mixed with glycerine is sometimes used instead. The most well-known practitioner of the technique is Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov; he has used it in seven films, all of which have won numerous awards.

    Research on Editing


     Continuity Editing

    A Predominant style of filming and video editing that coresponds to postproduction of making films of narating a story in a film and television programs

    Purporse of continuity editing

    Smooths over the inherent disconuity of projecting the editing process through establishing bettween shots which is achieved by cutting to continuity to emphasize  a smooth transition of time and pace where some films incoporate cutting to continuity of shots for examples the Montage techinque.that explains the use of symbolic ideas bettween shots rather than association of simple physical action for it's continuity

    Common techniques of continuity editing

    Temporal continuity and spartial continuity that work aganist a sense of continuity.

    Gives the viewer a concrete physical narration to follow, or discontinuous, that causes the viewer disorientation or interpretation or reaction


    Montage techniques
    A Fadeout a gradual  transformation of an image seen to black
    A dissolve as a similtaneous overlapping transition from estarblishing one shot to another that does not involve an instaneous cut or change in brightneess.
    Both  forms of transiton( fade and dissolve) create an ambigious measure of ellipses that consitute of narrative days, months, years.


    The Flash back
    Explains a relocation of time within a story, or more accurately a window through the viewer can see what's happening

    Cross- cuting involves a technique that's conveyed by an undeniable spatial discontinuity to achieve by cutting back.


     In continuity film editing: The cutting edge  of  Magic of movie editing(Abridged Version) Part 1



    Some of  that been found of interet to the movies i have watched.Examples
    The Great Train Robbery Thomas A.Edison
    Independence day

    The Great Train Robbery Thomas A.Edison



      Editing Techniques of the movie is predominantly shown to where the editor and  director  depicts emotion  where relativaly shots being   used  show a timing and pace of movement of the subjects is less seen and lacks dialogue and use of frames
