MOMI

To start with, I would never expect MOMI to be such an interesting place. It’s dedicated to the history and technique of the moving image in all its form. There are various exhibitions starting from the sketches, costumes, and covers of different magazines and movies; and ending with sound production activities. One of the most memorable things was seeing production design drawing from one of my favorite movies The Silence of the Lambs, and a Mechanical Puppet from The Exorcist, where in one of the most shocking image the head of Regan MacNeil rotates a full 360 degrees. Both of these things and many more examples made me more aware of the process of film and image making, and thus, appreciate it more. Before visiting the museum, I didn’t realize how exactly the process of ADR looked like. I was familiar with a concept, but I never though about how is it really done. Going into a tiny room, and watching fellow students putting headphones and recording their voices for a dialogue in the movie scene helped to clarify the concept for me. However, I think that seeing it wouldn’t be as interesting as if I went there before taking this class, because I wasn’t familiar about the sound concepts. But seeing people practicing with it in real life was really helpful. I’m really looking forward to going there again soon and explore more.
