Movies let a little light into many peoples lives. People were beyond thrilled to see the new technology the 1930s had to offer. Many would pay about twenty five cents to attend the movies. The nation quickly expanded with many movie theaters, and it topped over the amount of banks and doubled the amount of hotels.

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era.

The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

I do agree that Aaron Copland’s works are examples of music with an American quality. The reason for this is because “Hoe-Down” was very energetic and was square dance music. Square dancing and square dance music is something that is of American tradition and people all over America enjoy to hear. I also agree with this statement because “Hoe-Down” has been used in movies and I am sure that so have his other best-known works. Movies make up a great deal of the American life and without good music those movies cannot reach their potential therefore the wonderful music helps give quality to both the ear and the eye because of the visuals and emotions that come with listening to the music.

The 1920s were a time of great prosperity and revitalization. This decade gave way to many great social milestones for every class of people. From the limits for immigration to the boom of the auto industry American society was drastically altered.

Aaron Copland has been viewed as a leading pioneer in American music. His music incorporated popular forms of American music such as jazz and folk. Aaron is one of the most highly respected and an admired twentieth century composer. Aaron Copland showed great influence in helping American composers break free from the ‘European’ style of music.

The films involved with The Cinema of Attractions are disputed as being renowned for inventing a new and innovative type of cinema. Narrative is widely thought of as the only type of film in current times, but it came after the popularity of actualities. In 1900 people had more leisure time than they did before so they needed something to occupy their time. Films became an activity for everyone, regardless of class or age, and so there was a high demand for them. People were fascinated by movement and travelling as it was hard for the general public to experience most of the things shown on the films they saw; these films were called travelogues and were extremely popular as it allowed people to see the world.

In this essay I will be discussing five key points throughout Post Production history between the 1900s-1960s. Post Production is seen as a vital component in the cinematic industry as it essentially finalises the final products. Techniques that have been developed over the years are incredibly important, but they all have an origin.

The five points I wish to discuss go as follows: The Great Train Robbery and Edwin Porter himself, D.W. Griffith and his overwhelming influence on editing, The Jazz Singer, the Kuleshov Effect and finally, 2001: A Space Odyssey. As well as discussing these key factors, this essay will take into consideration secondary material.

“If Georges Méliès was the first to ‘push the cinema toward the theatrical way,’ as he claimed, then Edwin S. Porter was the first to push the cinema

However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.
