Chronophotography: engineer of life: Etienne-Jules Marey

The centre of the problem of understanding the process of movement control, incorporated in cognitive biomechanics, is theoretically determined by contemporary physiological and psychological studies, reflecting itself inevitably in cinematography. In this sense, hypothetical questions are imposed: What are the determinants of the relationship between the scientific study of the phenomenon of movement and film art? How to develop an analytical model of the body in motion diagram? What impact does a rapid movement in nature have on the development of cinematic expression? The analysis of locomotion, as a form of human biomechanical movement, leads to the construction of the necessary tool - the camera, implying the creation of scientific films, thereby raising the level of knowledge and observation of the phenomena of motion, transforming it into a contemporary aesthetical model of film art.
