D.W. Griffith was an influential early American film director who helped develop cinematic techniques like close-ups, parallel editing, and the use of camera movement. His 1915 film Birth of a Nation promoted racist ideas about Reconstruction and the role of the Ku Klux Klan. Oscar Micheaux was a pioneering African American filmmaker who produced over 40 race films between 1919-1950, including Within Our Gates which directly responded to and critiqued the racist narrative of Birth of a Nation.

Birth of a nation
D.W. Griffith was a pioneering American film director who helped develop early narrative film techniques between 1908-1913 while working with American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. Some of his innovations included close-ups, cutbacks, cross-cutting, parallel editing, and developing interframe narrative through breaking scenes into multiple shots. His 1915 film Birth of a Nation was groundbreaking technically but also promoted racist ideologies through its glorification of the Ku Klux Klan and portrayal of black men as sexually threatening. While innovative cinematically, the film reflected and helped spread dangerous American myths about race through its narrative and perspective.
Western Film Genre
Western is an American genre set between 1860-1910 that represents history through popular characters like Wyatt Earp, Jesse James, and Wild Bill Hickok. Most Western films involve adversarial themes of nature vs. culture, community vs. the individual, East vs. West, train vs. horse, and settlers vs. American Indians. Western films also feature iconic symbols and imagery.

Ethnicity
The document discusses how ethnicity is represented in television dramas like Casualty. It notes that representations have changed as societies have become more diverse, moving away from negative stereotypes of the past. However, some stereotypes still exist, such as Indian characters focusing on cultural clashes or immigrants being portrayed negatively. The document examines themes like unity/conflict and examines common representations of different ethnic groups in both British and American television dramas. It provides questions to consider when analyzing representations of ethnicity.
Native American Portrayals in Art
This exhibit aims to educate viewers about depictions of Native Americans throughout American history. Early European artists like John White portrayed Native Americans realistically, but Theodore deBry altered White's drawings to appear more European and savage for European audiences. In the 18th-19th centuries, depictions became more negative, often showing Native women held hostage. Later artists like George Catlin documented Plains tribes but believed extinction was near. Popular culture in the 20th century marginalized Native Americans further. Today, sports mascots still use Native American imagery, despite criticism that it promotes inequality.

W.E.B. Du Bois was an influential African American civil rights activist and scholar in the late 19th and early 20th century. He developed the concept of "The Talented Tenth" which argued that higher education could produce elite black leaders. He challenged Booker T. Washington's focus on industrial education and argued for full civil rights and integration. Du Bois helped found the NAACP and edited their magazine The Crisis from 1910-1934, using it to advocate for racial justice and the accomplishments of African Americans. His 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk was seminal in addressing issues of double consciousness and the color line.
Chapter 7: Ethnicity
The document discusses several topics related to ethnicity and nationalism:
1. It examines ethnic groups in Rwanda like the Hutus and Tutsis and how European imperialism exacerbated tensions between them.
2. It analyzes patterns of ethnic clustering in the United States for groups like African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latino Americans. It also discusses historic migration patterns of African Americans.
3. It discusses the concept of apartheid in South Africa and how the white-ruled government forcibly segregated and classified ethnic groups.
4. It explores the relationship between ethnicity, nationality, and self-determination, and how the rise of nation-states in Europe contributed to tensions leading up to World Wars I and

Representation of race & ethnicity
The document discusses representation of race and ethnicity in media. It notes that while race has biological elements, there are also cultural components to representation. Media often relies on rigid racial stereotypes, especially in portrayals of minority groups. This can negatively impact viewers' perceptions, especially for children who have little other exposure to different cultures. The document calls for more accurate and diverse portrayals of various racial and ethnic groups in television, films, and other media to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes. It provides several specific examples of how different minority groups such as African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans have been stereotyped in media over time.
Race & media portrayal
This document discusses racism and stereotypical portrayals of minorities in media. It notes that when thinking of criminals, many envision male minorities. Stereotypes in media representation create predator/prey situations where minorities are always prey. Historical movies often depicted blacks as foolish or criminals, perpetuating racist stereotypes. While some modern movies combat racism, media on the whole still commonly portrays minorities in subservient or criminal roles compared to whites. The document argues racism in media portrayal still exists today and will be difficult to fully eradicate.
Representation of ethnic minorities in media
Ethnic minorities are often underrepresented or misrepresented in media. They are frequently portrayed through negative stereotypes as criminals, threats, or with abnormal cultural behaviors. While representation is improving with more diverse roles, historically media has been dominated by white stories and characters. Stereotypical portrayals of ethnic groups can influence and spread misconceptions among audiences. However, representation is beginning to improve as audiences demand more diversity and ethnic minorities obtain more opportunities working within media industries.
Italian vernacular cinema
Italian vernacular cinema of the 1970s attracted middle and working class audiences. Films aimed at the middle class in major cities featured directors like Fellini and were seen as artistic, while those for working classes in rural areas were more formulaic and popular. The documentary discusses genres that emerged like Giallo mystery-thriller films directed by Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and Lucio Fulci. These stylish yet exploitative films featured American or British tourists in Italy encountering graphic violence and psychopathic killers. Giallo films influenced later American slashers with their visual motifs and subjective point-of-view camerawork.
Great Migration G8 Lesson
This document provides a summary of the Great Migration that occurred between 1900-1970, when around 6 million African Americans left the rural South and moved to major cities in the North like Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Cleveland. It was sparked by the desire to escape racism and Jim Crow laws and seek better jobs and opportunities. The Chicago Defender newspaper encouraged this migration by portraying the North as a "Promised Land." Many talented artists and writers also moved North during this time and contributed to the Harlem Renaissance. The migration slowed during the Depression but increased again during World War II due to more factory jobs.
Ethnicity
This document contains notes on various topics related to diversity and ethnicity including:
1) Workplaces do not reflect the diverse nature of society and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in better paid jobs.
2) Stereotypes that are associated with different ethnic groups such as family bonds and strong values for Asians but crime for Black British.
3) The 1970s sitcom "Love Thy Neighbour" portrayed offensive stereotypes of Black British people and reinforced racial divides and ideologies through jokes and laughter tracks.
4) Black ethnic minority writers are underrepresented and stereotypical dramas can give damaging portrayals of Black people and reinforce prejudices. More positive representations are needed.
Small Scale Research: How race is constructed in Britsh Social problem films
This document outlines a small-scale research project analyzing how 'race' is constructed in British social problem films from the late 1940s and 1950s. It focuses on four films: Sapphire (1959), Flame in the Streets (1961), A Taste of Honey (1961), and Pool of London (1951). Initial findings suggest the films represented race through dialogue, mise-en-scene, and sound, while also reflecting the social context of immigration and debates around British national identity at the time. The investigation will analyze representations of black and white races, sexuality, imperialism, and stereotypes to understand how race was constructed in these films.
English assignment
Lorraine Hansberry was the first black playwright to create realistic portraits of African American life. Her play, A Raisin in the Sun, about a struggling black family, was a landmark work and helped bring attention to the civil rights movement. Bruce Norris' play Clybourne Park is a spin-off of A Raisin in the Sun, set in the same house but 50 years later to examine changing race relations and gentrification in Chicago neighborhoods. A key difference between plays and other literary forms is that plays are written to be performed on stage through dialogue between characters, while other forms are generally meant to be read.
“Little Englander” – Fawlty Towers A Textual Analysis of Nationalistic Ideolo...
This document provides a summary and analysis of the 1970s British sitcom Fawlty Towers. It analyzes how the show represented notions of British national identity and community through the character of Basil Fawlty. Basil runs a small hotel in Torquay as a "mini-construction of Britain" with a narrow view of who belongs. He holds nationalist, classist views and believes firmly in traditions of the British Empire. His rigid ideology of who belongs causes constant conflict and prevents the hotel from being a harmonious community that accepts differences. The analysis suggests Basil's views represent a nostalgia for a lost imperial Britain and conceptions of national identity that exclude many people.
The History of Horror
The document provides a history of horror films from the 1920s to the present. It discusses the evolution of popular horror themes and conventions over the decades in response to changing societal fears. Some key points covered include the rise of vampire and monster movies in the 1920s-1930s; the introduction of sound and famous actors like Boris Karloff in the 1930s; the focus on mutated creatures and nuclear radiation in the 1950s; psychological horrors and the idea of the enemy being human in the 1960s-1970s; the rise of slashers and gore in the 1980s; more intelligent films like Silence of the Lambs in the 1990s; and the increased use of CGI, found footage, and remakes from
20 conformity and rebellion in 1950s to mid-1960s america
Here are some potential study questions to consider:
- In what ways did international influences (like Soviet propaganda) affect Americans' responses to postwar American society?
- How would you distinguish "individualism" from "rebellion" in this period? Individualism seemed to be expressed through art forms while rebellion challenged social/political norms.
- What is the significance of the co-existence of both conformity and rebellion? It shows the tensions between wanting social acceptance but also expressing one's individuality.
- Why did the government send jazz musicians around the world? To promote American values of racial equality and counter Soviet propaganda about racism in the US.
- What is the "unattainable ideal"? The ideal of
Representation of race, ethnicity and colour
This document discusses representation of race and ethnicity in media. It notes that racial stereotypes in media can be as rigid as gender stereotypes and may be harmful, as media portrayals may be some audiences' only exposure to certain ethnic groups. It also discusses that racial stereotypes are often based on long-held social myths. The document then examines issues of race representation on UK television, including whether UK TV accurately represents the country's diverse population. It outlines some common racial stereotypes from 1978 as exotic, dangerous, humorous, or pitied. It also discusses "moral panics" in media around certain racialized images over time and asks readers to analyze representation of ethnicity in UK TV characters.

This document provides an introduction to Ruth Harriet Louise and her career as a photographer at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio in the 1920s. Key points:
- Louise was hired by MGM's publicity department to photograph the studio's stars and help promote them. She took over 100,000 photographs between 1925-1929.
- Her portraits were crucial to creating and sustaining Hollywood stars' images and were more influential than the films themselves. When people think of stars like Greta Garbo, they often envision Louise's photographs rather than specific movie scenes.
- Louise worked within the studio system to produce glamorous photographs that shaped concepts of stardom, fashion, and femininity in the 1920s
HNC FP Course overview
This document provides an overview of the historical context and development of narrative film form. It discusses the origins of narrative films from early actualities by the Lumiere Brothers to the development of primitive stories and early narratives around 1905. Key developments during the silent era are outlined, including the growth of national film industries, influential filmmakers like D.W. Griffith and the Birth of a Nation, and film movements such as German Expressionism. The influence of theatre and dark fairytales on Expressionist films is highlighted through examples like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the work of F.W. Murnau.
Birth of a Nation, Hollywood and the World
The document summarizes the birth and evolution of the American film industry from 1905-1915, focusing on the impact of D.W. Griffith's 1915 film The Birth of a Nation. It describes how nickelodeons expanded moviegoing to new audiences but relied on short films and formulas. The Birth of a Nation was a breakthrough that was the first epic-length film, utilizing new techniques like close-ups and editing to tell a story of the post-Civil War South and birth of the Ku Klux Klan. Though controversial for its racist depictions, the film was a financial success and proved films could appeal to all classes.
Films 1940s & 1950s (TV Y1)
Creating an "epic" film in the 1950s was a high risk strategy because:
- The cinema industry was in decline due to the rise of television
- Novelty gimmicks like 3D and Smell-O-Vision were short-lived fads that did not guarantee financial success
- Epics had huge production budgets, large sets, and big star casts, making them extremely expensive to produce
- There was no guarantee that such a costly film would be a financial success, as audience tastes and trends were changing rapidly during this period of transition for the film industry.

This document provides an overview and outline of topics covered in a history of motion pictures course. It discusses the 1974 German film Fear Eats the Soul and how it reflected tensions in German society. It then examines the history of African American representation in cinema, including the legacy of racist imagery, important early black filmmakers and milestones, and the rise of blaxploitation films in the 1970s that featured hyper-masculine black leads and focused on sex, drugs, and crime. The document concludes by posing discussion questions about Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction and whether the character Jules reaffirms the super-masculine ideals of the blaxploitation hero.
British New Wave (TV Y1)
The British New Wave film movement of the late 1950s and 1960s aimed to realistically portray working class life in Britain. Key figures like Lindsay Anderson and Karel Reisz helped establish the movement through documentary films. British New Wave films featured gritty, social realist depictions of working class struggles in northern England using non-professional actors and location shooting. The films addressed issues like unemployment, domestic problems, and the challenges of social and economic changes in Britain after World War II. The movement had a lasting influence on British and American cinema although it has also been criticized for its sometimes negative portrayals of women and lack of diversity.

British New Wave (TV Y1)
The British New Wave film movement of the late 1950s and 1960s aimed to realistically portray working class life in Britain. Key figures like Lindsay Anderson and Karel Reisz helped establish the movement through documentary films. British New Wave films featured gritty, social realist depictions of working class struggles in northern England using non-professional actors and location shooting. The films addressed issues like unemployment, domestic problems, and the challenges of social and economic changes in Britain after World War II. The movement had a lasting influence on British and American cinema although it has also been criticized for its sometimes negative portrayals of women and lack of diversity.

Comparative History Set 1
The document discusses cultural changes that occurred in the United States during the 1920s. Prosperity led to a shift away from traditional values of thrift towards consumerism.

Edward R. Murrow and See It Now.pptx
Edward R. Murrow and his television news show See It Now (1951-1958) took a different approach to television news compared to previous documentary filmmakers. Murrow was not interested in objective analysis but rather focused on highlighting problems in society. The production of See It Now was chaotic, with film shot and rushed to New York for editing. Segments were assigned to staff who edited around the clock. Despite positive viewer response and letters of support for Murrow's reporting, the show lost corporate sponsorship from Alcoa at the end of 1954-1955 due to lack of support from CBS president Paley. This led to the end of See It Now.

It describes how the New Hollywood era of the 1960s saw a shift towards more experimental, European-influenced films influenced by directors like Godard and Kurosawa that tackled social issues. Key films like Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider heralded this change by appealing to youth audiences.

New hwood
The document summarizes changes in Hollywood filmmaking from the 1960s to the late 1970s. In the 1960s, films became more expensive to produce due to various economic factors. European and international films influenced Hollywood with more experimental styles. Films like Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider heralded a new era known as New Hollywood characterized by youth culture films and explicit depictions of sex and violence. In the late 1970s, large studios shifted to a blockbuster model in response to financial troubles, focusing on large-budget films aimed at broad audiences.
New+wave
The French New Wave was a film movement that emerged in the late 1950s as a rejection of the prevailing mode of literary adaptations and Hollywood emulation in French cinema. Young film critics at Cahiers du Cinema, like Truffaut, Godard, and Chabrol, revered the long take and rejected montage. In 1959, seminal New Wave films like Resnais' Hiroshima Mon Amour, Godard's Breathless, and Truffaut's The 400 Blows were released. The New Wave films used techniques like location shooting, available lighting, handheld cameras, and jump cuts that broke conventions and gave the films a casual, improvised feel.
Hitchcock
The document summarizes key aspects of postwar Hollywood in the 1950s, including the impact of the Cold War on film narratives and blacklisting of suspected communists.

Week 10 citizen kane
Citizen Kane is Orson Welles' 1941 film that tells the life story of newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane through a series of flashbacks. It was Welles' first feature film and he was given significant creative control by RKO studios. The film pioneered numerous innovative cinematography techniques like deep focus photography and long takes. It also featured expressionist lighting and camera angles as well as an unconventional non-linear narrative structure that examined Kane's life from different perspectives. Citizen Kane was both a critical and commercial failure upon release but is now widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
Europe in the thirties grand-illusion-2016
France in the 1930s saw three waves of avant-garde cinema movements that experimented with narrative forms and visual styles, including Impressionism, Dadaism, and Surrealism. The third avant-garde was ended by the introduction of sound film which raised production costs. Poetic realism then emerged, combining lyricism and realism through techniques like deep focus shots and sequence shots. Films from this era also explored more complex human relations beyond good and bad guys. Renoir's 1937 film Grand Illusion addressed the senselessness of war and promoted humanism, but was banned in Germany as Goebbels viewed it as cinema's biggest enemy.
Scarface a-2016
1. The transition to sound film in the late 1920s dramatically increased production costs for Hollywood studios and made the industry reliant on major financial backers in New York.
2. Warner Bros. was an early adopter of sound and saw huge profits as a result, allowing it to acquire theaters. Increased profits during this period helped the film industry survive the Great Depression.
3. In response to scandals and calls for censorship in the early 1920s, Hollywood established the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America to self-regulate and introduce the Production Code in 1934 to restrict depictions of sex, profanity, and other controversial topics.
Keaton a-2016

It discusses the founding of studios like Universal, Paramount, and Fox in response to Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company monopoly.

Key figures like Mack Sennett, Buster Keaton, and Thomas Ince established important innovations in comedy films and the studio system during this period.
Soviet cinema-2016
This document discusses the development of Soviet silent cinema and the theory of montage between 1917-1931. It introduces the Kuleshov technique using juxtaposition to create abstract meanings. It then covers Eisenstein's theories of intellectual montage and montage of attractions to shock audiences into political commitment. The Bolsheviks saw art as reflecting dialectical materialism and the montage technique was aimed to incorporate this dialectic. The Russian Revolution in 1917 led to the establishment of a communist state committed to radically restructuring society and culture, including cinema which was seen as an important art form for propaganda. The film Strike from 1925 is analyzed as an example that engages the audience through montage rather than individual acting.
Germany 2016
German Expressionist films of the 1920s sought to portray disturbed psychological states through exaggerated and distorted visuals meant to create an unsettling mood, or Stimmung. Key characteristics included angular compositions, stark contrasts between light and shadow, and stylized acting. While very innovative technically, these films struggled financially due to a small German market and mixed reception overseas. Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis exemplified Expressionist styles through its futuristic yet Gothic set designs and used exaggerated performances to represent the class divide between workers and owners in a dystopian industrial city. Scholars debate whether the film presented socialist or fascist ideals through its themes of technological control and narratives of malevolent rulers.
Week 2-oct-2016
1) Early cinema between 1893-1903 saw technological advances in capturing and projecting films, including the development of celluloid film and intermittent motion cameras.
2) Notable early filmmakers and their works included the Edison Studios (first public film screening in 1893), the Lumière brothers (first films shot outdoors on location in 1895), and Georges Méliès (used special effects and narrative films starting in 1902).
3) Edwin Porter introduced more advanced cinematic techniques in 1903's The Great Train Robbery, including multiple shots, camera movement, and temporal overlap. This helped establish narrative as the dominant filmmaking form by 1904.

- 4. D. W. Griffith (1875-1948) • Began at Edison Studio 1908 – Worked with American Mutoscope and Biograph Company 1908-1913 (450 films) • Self-credited Contributions – "I invented the 'close-up' figures” • Deleuze – miniaturization of the set • Objective set -> subjective – "I borrowed the 'cutback' from Charles Dickens” (earlier events, "story within a story," parallel action) • cross-cut, Parallel editing • Mise-en-scene, framing, tracking shots • Editing – Interframe narrative • Scenes broken down unto several shots – Master shot – Insert/Close-up – match cut, eyeline match, fades, POV- reaction shot, accelerated montage
- 5. Griffith on Acting • Motion Picture has more poetic beauty than the stage-play. • Soul (or “light within”): great personalities, true emotions, and the ability to depict them before the camera – Stage emotions will not do – No recorded voice – Every quiver of facial muscles, gleam of the eye, expression of the face, every getsure • fashion of action changes with each age – acting of today may seem unnatural or impossible to later audiences • less with hands, more with eyes – No light hair or light blue eyes
- 6. Birth of a Nation (1915)
- 7. D. W. Griffith’s Perspective • Equates political equality of blacks with the freedom to sexually assault white women – Klan is morally justified • Dunning school of reconstruction history – “the vicious doctrines spread by the carpetbaggers” – Mislead blacks – social and political incompetence
- 8. D. W. Griffith’s Perspective • Everett Carter - “plantation illusion” – The antebellum (pre-war) South was a golden age of agrarian feudal joy: wealthy autocratic landowners and happy obedient slaves • There was perfect harmony between “colors” as long as the hierarchy was kept; and that the “Negro” were happy to be faithful servants (“faithful souls”) – The freed union ‘Negro’ would be a renegade terror • The ‘Negro’ was somehow less than human • The mulatto was the curse of South because of the mixing of ‘Negro’ bestiality with white intelligence – Played on cultural exploitation of sexual fears (rape, miscegenation, brutality) • Social conflict as sexual – The North was seen as a cold, harsh, industrial society
- 9. D. W. Griffith • Griffith seemed unaware of the rhetorical power of the narrator’s point of view: – "in less than ten years . . . the children in the public schools will be taught practically everything by moving pictures. . . . There will be no opinions expressed. You will merely be present at the making of history.” (Editor, April 24, 1915)
- 10. Critical Reading • Rogin – landmark in film narrative technique is also a propagator of dangerous U.S. myths • Rather than rescuing Griffith's form from his content, Rogin examines the relationship between the two • Dixon, Wilson and Griffith shared a common project - screen memory – The Birth of a Nation – "America" began with the Clan – Clan reunited America • Southern romanticism as a frame of reference for global, national identities – similarities between immigrants-imperial subjects and Negros – Occupation of Haiti – safeguard interests of U.S. corporations (United Fruit; Haitian American Sugar Company) • Conflict of New Woman and Machine • Great Migration – dramatizes fears of northern audiences concerned about new black neighbors as a result of the “Great Migration” (1910-1930 - 40% increase in black population)
- 11. Race in Film • Stereotypes embodied in the stock characters of blackface minstrels • Played a significant role in cementing and proliferating racist images, attitudes and perceptions worldwide, but also in popularizing black culture. • In some quarters, the caricatures that were the legacy of blackface persist to the present day and are a cause of ongoing controversy.
- 12. Race Movies • Race movies or race films was a genre that existed in the United States between about 1915 and 1950. • Approximately 500 race films were made during that time period. • They were films produced for an all- black audience, featuring all-black casts, primarily by black directors. • Race movies are of great interest to students of African-American cinema, they have historical significance, but they also showcased the talents of actors who were relegated to stereotypical supporting roles in mainstream studio films.
- 13. Oscar Micheaux • The Homesteader (1919). First feature length film by an African American • Within Our Gates (1920). Response to D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation • Body and Soul (1924). With Paul Robeson. • The Exile (1931). First African American feature length sound film.
- 14. Oscar Micheaux • Micheaux's work was prolific. • He produced, directed and distribution more than 40 films during his career. • He also published several novels. • With Micheaux’s success, other black production companies quickly popped up.
- 15. Within Our Gates • Took on Griffith’s racist narrative of slavery, Post-Bellum Reconstruction, and Jim Crow. • Within Our Gates figures as a powerful rebuttal to Birth of a Nation. • Interrogates white supremacy, lynching, and sexual violence.
