Film : The Stage Of Innovation

Although cinema is now a priority, some feel as if cinema is no longer the cinema when it was first established. Movies no longer have that special feeling like viewers once had. Today, films are not only shared within a theater, if one pleases they could always have the same experience elsewhere. Moreover, with technology expanding, it takes away the importance cinema once had. “The

The Lumière Brothers were both technically minded and overshadowed many other individuals in the sciences; they both attended a technical school so that they could prosper their technical ability. They were inspired to build such a tool that would prosper film into what it is today. Auguste and Louis Lumière’s father Antoine Lumière was well-known painters and attended and Edison’s exhibition relating to an invention he had created called the Kinetoscope. This exhibition showcased the Kinetoscope in Paris and he had told them “you should try to develop a cheaper alternative to the peephole film-viewing device that its bulky camera counterpart” (Pruitt 1). Listening to their father’s advice they both took it into consideration and did exactly what they had been implied to do. The Kinetoscope only did one job, which let the machine play a film but it could only be watched by on individual at a time through the small hole that could be looked through which was located at the top of the contraption. The brothers went straight to work with their new product so that they could build a tool where many people could vision motion pictures at the same time while having it projected onto a screen or plan background of some sort. By 1894 both of the brothers had invented the Cinèmatographe which projected film of 16 frames per second. The Cinèmatographe was completely different from the Kinetoscope. Many differing factors went into the development into the Cinèmatographe. For example, it was

Movies have been around for over one hundred years, and they have changed quite a lot from the beginning to now.

Film is one of the most distinct expressions of a culture and is simultaneously a medium of great cultural impact. From the fashion presented on screen (i.e. clothes worn by characters in The Breakfast Club (1985) that serve as an example of clothes worn in 1980’s America), to the featured artists used for their soundtracks (i.e. Kendrick Lamar’s contributions to the Black Panther (2017) soundtrack), film can influence the same culture from which it itself was influenced.

In 1894 they created what was called a Cinématographe. With the birth of the cinema camera a new medium of expression was born. Thus allowing artists to capture life in a new light.

Hollywood has been a formidable force in the film industry since the 1910’s onwards. As with any industry that has lasted that length of time, Hollywood has gone through a few changes to deal with the changes in technology and culture. One of the more significant changes that Hollywood has faced since the advent of sound in films, was the fall of its Golden Era. There were a combination of reasons the industry went through dramatic changes in the late 1950s to mid-1960s. The Paramount decree and other government imposed limitation on power of the studios, change in audience demographic, and a strict code system limiting the types of stories that could be told through the medium of film all contributed to a shift in the industry and the type of product that Hollywood

ABSTACT Many years ago films have entertain people. These stories have made history and also the filmmakers. Films have impact people’s imagination and the way they tell a story. Also behind film are director, music, production, and actors.

As the movie industry moved into the 80's and 90's a new and distinctive type of film emerged. This new style was the Hollywood studio blockbuster. As the studios began making more and more blockbusters a vacuum was created that independent film makers were happy to fill. Though opposites in style, they compliment one another in the main goal of Hollywood: making a profit. These two distinctive styles of film have simultaneously worked together to see the reemergence and recovery of the movie industry.

The film industry has continuously changed since its inception due to rapid technology advancements. Camera technology has been a key factor that has influenced the growth of filmmaking. The first motion picture in the world was produced in the early 1880s, and the first public screening occurred ten years later. It didn’t take long for the quality of films to improve as new filmmaking equipment emerged. Ever since the first movie was produced, the film industry has been continuously changing in response to emerging filmmaking technology. Introduction of digital photography and digital data storage along with the development of internet significantly influenced the film industry (Barsam, 2015). These technologies contributed

To tell the truth, the film industry has evolved and grown very quickly since its creation in the early 1900’s. Over the years, it has gained the attention of every culture in every part of the world. These days, thanks to its popularity, it is a big part in shaping the social culture by changing the audience's’ opinions or swaying them one way or another. The idea that a film

Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking. We are forced to learn the characters thoughts and feelings. The hard work and artistic skill that goes into these magnificent films is not an easy thing to mimic. Out of the thousands of movies released worldwide each year only a handful are truly worthy of the label film art. Most of the great movies are either produced by a multi million dollar

The art of film made it’s way into the penetration stage around the turn of the century and remained there until

Knowing this, Edison set out to make a motion picture machine. Edison saw no commercial value in it, which is somewhat ironic, but still decided to make it anyway. In an interview in 1887 he said, "It is possible to devise an instrument, which should do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear." Edison assigned the aforementioned, William Kennedy Dickson to pursue the research and development of his idea. Dickson discovered is that they machine must use light. That may seem very obvious but light was fairly new and somebody had to come up with the idea it must be incorporated in Edison's idea. For film, Dickson used a 1 and ½ inch wide strip of celluloid. Celluloid was brittle and broke easily but it continued to be used. George Eastman discovered a better substance for film. It was called Eastman film. Eastman had developed the film for Edison's already invented kinetograph. So using that name, Dickson developed a machine he called the

Film Industry has been expansively affected by the changes in technology. The mechanical and digital innovations give cause to the influence of equipment, distribution and the way in which films are made and consumed. New trends shape directors and filmmakers to expand creatively towards telling stories in motions. The film industry has developed to one of the most important tools of communication, it's cause so powerful affecting the way individuals and societies think, act and behave. Among the new Era approaching film, and seeing celluloid film fade is that of the Digital Era and a camera that saw celluloid films passing hastened.
