Diari de mobilitat: Dia 5- Visita al Museu del Cinema

Today some students gave us a guided tour of the exhibition of the “Museo Scholastico delle arti della comunicazione Bodoni Paravia”, which is the institute’s museum. They showed us the different old machines they keep, which the students had used throughout the history of the institute, which was founded in 1902. We were able to learn how the lithographic press, the book binder or the Lynotype printing press worked. They also showed us the various old cameras, the amplifier and the video cameras. We were able to learn how voice recording was done (optical system and magnetic system) and the technological evolution of all these audiovisual instruments.

Next, we attended a Graphic Design class. The students presented the project they had developed (perfume advertising posters) and the teachers gave feedback and ideas for improvement. They also showed us the perfume boxes they had previously developed, inspired by classic works by different artists.

At the end of the day, we were able to observe the Screen Printing class with Professor Di Stefano. They showed us the technique used to make the prints. In this case, the students had made a design (their caricatures) on a t-shirt, had prepared the frame with the screen printing screen and applied the paint using the squeegee. They carried out the procedure several times, once for each color, and finally let the product dry. It was a very interesting practical class.

At noon, we went to the Cinema Museum to observe a workshop session with primary school students. Today’s workshop focuses on reviewing Marvel and DC superheroes and then creating your own superhero with their super powers. The afternoon was completed with a visit to the Cinema Museum facilities. We started the route by going up to the observatory located at the top of the building’s dome, from where we could see the views of the city of Turin to the Alps.

After the wonderful views of the city, we took a guided tour of the history of cinema that is located in the initial part of the museum. This part of the visit covers from the earliest period of shadow theatre to the first silent film recordings.

Once we discovered the history of the world of cinema, we were able to enjoy the rest of the museum that exhibits historical elements of the world of cinema and reviews its history, its main elements and the relevant characters of the seventh art. In addition, currently in the central ramp of the cinema there is an exhibition dedicated to director James Cameron. In this section we can discover his entire career from his beginnings drawing movie posters to a detailed review of great works in his filmography such as Terminator, Avatar or Titanic among others.
