Museum exhibit extraordinaire

This post is being made in regards to the field trip my media 160 group took on the 26th of March to the museum of the moving image.  First I have to say that it was a lot better than what I expected, even if the complex was smaller than I thought it was going to be, but I really liked the way all the content was set up.  I still love the classic spots in NYC like the Met or the museum of natural history, but this place definitely holds a lot more of my interests.  It is in a pretty good location that isn't too hard to get to (even if I did arrive late due to slow running M trains and a few missed stops).  The most informative section of the tour would be when the guide broke down the three different sounds found in film, that being dialogue, music, and sound effects.  He used a clip from Titanic and broke the scenes sound down step by step.  This had the most pertinent information for our class, because it actually dealt with the way audio is used and what different techniques could be used in this field for the future.  The rest of the tour was nice, because we got to see a bunch of movie props and costumes.  The history side of it was pretty dry with the older cameras and kinetoscope.  I was able to stay in the museum myself for a little longer after the class left to see the actors wall and costumes more. I was really excited to see the arcade section, but then disappointed to see how small it was.  They did have Super Mario though and Sonic, so that's a plus.  Overall it was a good experience, and I wouldn't mind going again.
