A Brief History Of FilmThe history of film spans over a hundred years w/c leads

to a substantial impact on the arts, technology, culture, politics, and society. Motion pictures wee purely visual art up to the late 19th century, but these innovative silent films gained a hold on the public imagination.

Around the turn of 20th century, films began developing a narrative structure by string scenes together to tell narratives. The scenes where later broken up into multiple shots of varying sizes, angles, and cuts. Other technique such as camera movement, camera tricks, and special effects were utilized for effective ways to portray a story on film.

The Birth Of Moving Pictures The early motion pictures where static shots that showed an event or action with no editing or other cinematic techniques.

It was then called a “peeping hole” w/c came from the typical sketches of kids in the edge of their notebooks.

The early versions of the technology required a person to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures that were separate paper prints attached to a drum and turned by a hand crafted machine. Some of these machines were coin operated.

The Silent Era Investors and producers had tried from the very beginning of moving pictures to marry the image with synchronous sound, but no practical method was devised until the late 1920’s.

And so, for the first 30 years of film history, movies were more or less silent, although they were usually accompanied by musicians and sometimes sound effects, and with dialogue and narration presented in the so-called intertitles.

Sound Era

By the 1920’s, new technology allowed film makers to attach each film a soundtract of speech, music, and sound effects synchronized with the action shown on screen.

These sound films were initially distinguished by calling them ‘‘talking pictures” or “talkies”

The next major step in the development of cinema was the introduction of color.

As color processes improved and became as affordable as black-and-white film, more and more movies were filmed in color.

After the end of World war II, as the industry came to view color as essential to attracting audiences in its competition with television, most films remained in the black-and-white medium until the mid-1960’s.

By the end of 1960’s, color had become the norm for filmmakers.

The 2000’s Documentary, Animations, digital Filmmaking and 3D Modernized Films rose as a commercial genre with a profit and sustainability are the key forces in the film industry of today.
