Abstract
The use of computer graphics designed for film and television is discussed from an aesthetic and systems point of view. Graphics are used for information clarification in news and documentary work, digital video effects are used for style and pizazz, and special computer effects are used in fictional film. Freedom in designing all three demands a flexible, modular system and a responsive user interface. Business systems are described and current research into this problem explored. Development of effects in the specific MIT environment for the videotape project Key Change is also explained. Key Change is a 30 minute, 3/4 inch, color, stereo videotape submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements. Problems and solutions in interfacing the time-sharing Visible Language Workshop graphics workstation to the Film Section one inch equipment are described. A possible user interface based on current research and the author's experience is designed. The videotape is in English.
