The museum of the moving image was an interesting museum. I had already been there before in high school, but I noticed they re-did parts of the museum. The bottom part of the museum was very futuristic looking. However I don't think the first floor of the museum added music video addition was recquiered because it did not show much. The older sections of the museum was much more interesting such as the old cameras and the old televisions on display. It was easy to walk through and not boring one you get past the first floor music video section. They also had examples of some of the early optical illusions, which is interesting to see and it's probably easier to memorize the technology by looking at it then just reading about it in the textbook. Some of the old televisions were on display which showed the evolution of that technology. It also demonstrated how that technology worked, such as the magnetic ray beam example. The sound effects display that showed how the foley teams worked was also interesting, as was the booth where a person could dub their voice in a famous movie. Then there booth that showed how live T.V. works. There were many monitors that showed what all the cameras filmed at many angles. Then they showed the people that sit in a booth and have to pick what angle or shot will be shown almost continuously throughout the live television program. It really demonstrated what a tough job it is to edit those kinds of programs.
