The Intervention Of Movies In The Late Nineteenth Century

During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that,

“The Case for Christ” is about a Lee Strobel who wants to prove the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as Hoax or a lie. So he can show the evidence to his christian wife so he can “save her from the cult of Jesus”. While Lee tries to disprove Christ’s death and resurrection he ends up building a case for Christ. The movie “The Case For Christ” was released in 2017 as drama/biography which is one hour and fifty-two minutes long and was directed by Jon Gunn.

What were Edwin S. Porter's significant contributions to the development of early narrative film? In what sense did Porter build upon the innovations of contemporaneous filmmakers, and for what purposes?

Film has revolutionized the world as we know it. In the current day and age film is quite advanced. You can watch movies with special effects and insane resolution there were never thought possible before. But film has not always been this way. Over the decades since around the 1900s when the first film was made there been amazing advances in technology and in acting. An examination of the past hundred or so years will show the amazing advances film has taken to come to what we know of it today.

were also a great deal of American films at this time but this was to

1960s cinema reflected the good and the bad of the decade. 1960s cinema influenced many of the films we have today. 1960s cinema brought attention to movie musicals, which were movies that had many song and dance numbers along with dialogue and blocking. Three of the biggest hits of the decade were movie musicals. Some of the decade’s biggest hits, including the movie musicals, are still popular today. In the 1960s, there were many popular movies, both in theaters and on television, which were produced with money and lots of work. However, 1960s cinema also had a downfall.

This essay will analyse and discuss The Great Train Robbery (1903) in relation to the narrative structure of silent cinema. The Edison Manufacturing Co, with the estimated budget of $150, produced The Great Train Robbery. Directed by Edwin S. Porter the film has a runtime of 11 minutes, with an aspect ratio of 1:33:1. The film was printed on 35mm hand coloured film and ran at 18 (FPS). The film was later released on December 1st 1903; the majority of the film was shot in New Jersey, USA.

Growing up as a young boy every single one of them played army, and fought for their country. That is how it was back in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, people joined the army and that was considered being noble going to fight for your countries freedom. Without photos and videos of what war was really like there was this romanticized view of war that the people thought was nice and clean. But when we got the technology to capture clean photos and videos of what war was really like the people of America were disgusted and traumatized by seeing innocent people die, and solders die. That is when the romanticized view of war was flushed down the toilet. The power of the media had a great affect on the views of war from being this romanticized noble thing to do, to finding out the truth and being this horrible thing of people dyeing even innocent people, and the Americans were not okay with it.

Widescreen Movie Screen No-one knew that one day this would be the an invention that would change American history for a lifetime. The Widescreen projector ( also known as the Movie Screen ) is a huge part of American culture today. Millions of people continuously go and watch movies. Many people go to the movies for so many reason.

In the 1920’s, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood was Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. Or as you may know it as, “MGM”, or “the company with the lion at the beginning of movies.” This studio was founded in 1924 and their first film was released in 1925. They have released many popular films that most people have either seen or heard of as well as some not-so popular films that most people didn’t even knew existed. Some you may recognize is Poltergeist, The Hobbit, and even The Wizard of Oz. Today, Metro-Goldwyn Mayer is still one if the biggest and most influential studios in Hollywood. However, the success, figuring everything out, and how the studio became, didn’t happen overnight.

The development of 1920s and 1930s media and technology was extremely influential upon the period of time immediately after. Media in the 1920-30s and its relevance to the years that followed, focusing on the western world. Through the journalism and writing movements during the era, new technology was exposed to the public and impacted events in the years that followed. The term technology can also apply to machinery, medicine and weaponry; however, none of them corresponded with the changes to media in the 1920s and 1930s. The evolvement of media and technology in the 1920s and 1930s impacted events during the era and later in the Second World War.

Historical inaccuracies in films can occur for many reasons ranging from a lack of authentic historical accounts of events, or most commonly to just add entertainment value to the movie. Some example of these can be found In the 1960 version of "The Alamo". Davey Crockett is portrayed in the film as spending his nights stealing Mexican cattle, sneaking out behind enemy lines to destroy their cannons and even having time to romance the prettiest senorita. There is no evidence to support any of these activities but it does create a heroic aura for the main character. Another event that takes place in the film that is not based an any historical accounts is the death of Davey Crockett. In the film, John Wayne's character sacrifices himself by

“[Charlie Chaplin] is able both to make himself understood and to understand me. He is an artist” (Schuchman, 1988, p. 24). This was told by Granville Redmond, a prominent deaf actor and painter in Hollywood during the silent movie era, with the height of his career mainly in the late 1910s. He was a close friend to Chaplin, acting in multiple movies with him and being a documented member of Chaplin’s close group of friends. This description of their relationship, captured by Redmond, documents the shared sense of acceptance and inclusion not only in this working relationship and friendship, but can be viewed as a greater example for the acceptance and equality that deaf people in general felt during the era of silent movies. This time was one of the first, and only for many decades to follow, that truly allowed opportunities for deaf individuals to work with hearing people on equal grounds. It was a time that allowed the Deaf community to participate in mainstream American society’s cultural events by attending movies just as freely and often as hearing people. In essence, the silent movie era was a time for inclusion, acceptance, and equality for deaf people in America.

Many people initially view archives as unmediated documentations of history. Critical, precious time capsules, which record the past in order to advance the future. The East Anglian Film Archive website, has a variety of different videos which show films that have been marked as meaningful enough to archive. One video involves an interview with Alfred Hitchcock by an old Anglian television company. Whereas, a different video which is filmed in 1935 shows a typical day of young children in their primary school in Cambridgeshire. This video depicts the difference in traditions and urges audiences to make comparisons between modern day schools and 1930’s institutions. Within the second video the children drink milk with cod liver oil. This seemingly small occurrence in itself is historically important, as during the 1930’s it was discovered that cod liver oil was effective in preventing a common disease, rickets. By archiving this day at a children’s primary school, the audience observing the media are able to understand more about 1930’s medicine, the school system and historical differences. It is extremely important to observe what pieces of media are archived as despite the differences between archiving a day at a

Plays and dances had elements common to films- scripts, sets, lighting, costumes, production, direction, actors, audiences, storyboards, and scores. They preceded film by thousands of years. Much terminology later used in film theory and criticism applied, such as mise en scène. Moving visual images and sounds were not recorded for replaying as in film.
