The advent of television and television shows may have come long after film, but it enhanced film production almost instantly. Television naturally derived from early film since each uses basically the same medium: the motion picture camera. Since film had already set a base in the industry and mastered the new techniques and technology of cinematography, television had the opportunity to learn from film?s mistakes and advance itself quickly. For this reason, television evolved very rapidly and was able to develop its own technology and techniques separate from film.

In the late 1960s, the “New Hollywood” era approached a new style of filming geared towards different generations of people. Leading up to new Hollywood, the 1960s brought devastation to the film industry.

Fewer films were being made, thus hurting Hollywood in every way possible. However, as the late 1960s approached, the new Hollywood era arose with new ways to attract movie-goers once more.

There were also Hollywood costume designers that played a crucial role in dictating fashion trends (gingham dress, a cotton fabric dress featuring a checked or striped pattern). Fashion trends that featured in the movies were quickly copied by retailers. Women, who found a dress or a gown in a movie appealing, were able to purchase a lower priced version of it in a nearby department

In this section, I analyze the sex education films, “Three Counties Against Syphilis” and “Easy to Get” and policies produced by the United States during and after World War II that influenced the public intention to find a faster, safer prophylaxis for venereal disease. This public intention to find a better prophylaxis for venereal disease led to racist and sexist crusades to contain venereal disease in communities that were considered dispensable for the benefit of the valued lives of the middle-class white populations. Furthermore, this section briefly examines how racialized stereotypes from USPHS sex education films were manifested into real-life biomedical research in Terre Haute Penitentiary and

Film is about showing your perspective, but it is also a business. The film industry has always had this struggle between artists and producers which affects the final product that is delivered to the audience. Besides the people involved in making each movie, there are also different film companies all over the world with many more perspectives and ideas that are fought over throughout the time it takes to make one movie. In history and in the film industry there is a battle between Western and Eastern thoughts which can be seen in the story about Bruce Lee’s final film, The Game of Death, directed by Robert Clouse.

With this in place, the studios were able to focus on their main issue which was getting people back in the theatres. “They decided to enhance the overall theatre experience by introducing widescreen CinemaScope and VistaVision technologies which changed the shape of the movie-screen image, with aspect ratio going from 1:33:1 to a new standard of 1:85:1 for flat or non-scope prints and up to 2:35:1 for various Scope. “ (Lewis) 3-D films were also introduced to give the viewers a new experience unlike anything viewed on television. In addition to the new film formats, the studios invested in their audio components by purchasing the new stereophonic technology to create a unique viewing and listening

Television impacted filmmaking in that it forced filmmakers to enhance the quality of the films, while also enriching the audience experience by offering something television couldn’t provide. From the demise of the studio system into a new Hollywood format, the studio executives implored tactics (some of them gimmicky) to compete with free television. Some of the things that proved successful for the movie experience were extravagant viewing formats, a new rating system to replace the outdated and archaic Production Code, and introducing a type of irreverent filmmaking that was stark contrast to the G-rated shows on television.

Color in the film could provide information about a kind of narrative situation, therefore hencing to make the story clearer from the spectator’s point of view (Winokur). Camera improvements have improved the quality of movies significantly. Improvements in cameras made movies have a clearer view. The audience could see things in better definition (Piccirillo). The invention of 3D has improved some movies. Specially made projectors have allowed audiences to see some movies in 3D. A DC I-compatible projector is needed to have a 3-D screen (Brett). Improvements in movie definition have also impacted movies significantly. The invention of high definition (HD) has improved the visibility of movies. Now that movie theaters keep getting bigger and bigger movie screens have allowed audiences to see movies in greater perspective (Brett). Although technology has improved movie image it has also helped movie sound and movie editing.

The turn of the 20th century saw the whole nation at the peak of a major transformation, especially in the sector of moving pictures. With major technological inventions at the end of the 19th century, such as Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope, a type of peep-show device, that had already established a presence in the film scene, and devices such as the Vitagraph, Panoptikon and Biskop projectors, Mutescope flip frames, the Kinora, the Cinecosmorama, Street Cinematograph, Biokam, Graphonoscope, Kinemacolor and a host of of other equipments over the years.

Societal Change through the Celluloid Wonder Introduction The invention of the motion picture has affected our society in many ways. The invention of the motion picture has led to new inventions and discovery of better technologies. It’s led to the invention of better film cameras and special effects. It has changed the way we view entertainment.

Cinema’s influence on pop culture has steadily increased since its introduction in the 1890’s. As special effects were introduced and the length of film increased, their popularity increased as well. Today, there is quite a bit of focus placed on the box office returns of films and popular culture is directly affected by this. The impact any given film will have on society is usually directly influenced by the number of people who saw the movie. At first glances, films that would have this large impact would appear to be the ones with the biggest budgets, most prolific directors and most important movie stars. However, these big budget films are not the only films that have made an impact on popular culture. The influence made by cult films cannot be ignored when discussing the impact of film on society.

In the early 20th century, civil wars and economic instability interrupted Taiwan film industry. However, in 1950s, economic growth and modernization in the country brought a positive impact on the film industry that commenced production of movies talking about traditional moral values. As a result of the socioeconomic growth in the country, the industry was faced by challenges such as cultural changes and industrialization that led to the emergence of modern day Taiwan movies and films (Fielitz and Muller 41).

When the topic for the research paper was decided on finding out how the cultural differences in a movie and its remake versions are dealt with by film makers , it was astonishing to find many similar works which were already done related to this topic.

In addition to this, all this studies were a sneak peek into the ways in which films act as a medium for reinforcing the norms of a particular society, also how films create and uphold the popular culture.
