Photo Comics
Photo comics are a form of sequential storytelling that uses photographs rather than illustrations for the images, along with the usual comics conventions of narrative text and word balloons containing dialogue. They are sometimes referred to in English as fumetti, photonovels, photoromances, and similar terms. The photographs may be of real people in staged scenes, or posed dolls and other toys on sets. Although far less common than illustrated comics, photo comics have filled certain niches in various places and times. For example, they have been used to adapt popular film and television works into print, tell original melodramas, and provide medical education. Photo comics have been popular at times in Italy and Latin America, and to a lesser extent in English-speaking countries. Terminology The terminology used to describe photo comics is somewhat inconsistent and idiosyncratic. ''Fumetti'' is an Italian word (literally "little puffs of smoke", in reference to word balloo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These images are generally accompanied by sound and, more rarely, other sensory stimulations. The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry, and to the art form that is the result of it. Recording and transmission of film The moving images of a film are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects.

Pasquale Fasciano
Pasquale is a masculine Italian given name and a surname mainly found in southern Italy. It is a cognate of the French name Pascal, the Spanish Pascual, the Portuguese Pascoal and the Catalan Pasqual. Pasquale derives from the Latin ''paschalis'' or ''pashalis'', which means "relating to Easter", from Latin ''pascha'' ("Easter"), Greek ''Πάσχα'', Aramaic ''pasḥā'', in turn from the Hebrew '' פֶּסַח'', which means "to be born on, or to be associated with, Passover day". Since the Hebrew holiday Passover coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the Latin word came to be used for both occasions. The names Paschal, Pasqual, Pascal, Pascale, Pascha, Paschalis, Pascual, Pascoe and Pasco are all variations of ''Pasquale''. The feminine form, rather rare, is ''Pasquala'', ''Pasqualina'', ''Pascale'', ''Pascalle'' or ''Pascalina''. As a surname in Italy, Pasquale has many variations found all over the country: Pasquali, Pascale, Pascal, Pascali, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
