Film 1920s (TV Y1)
By the mid-1920s, the American film industry was thriving. The major studios were producing around 800 films per year in Hollywood using assembly-line production methods. Genres like gangster, comedy, and biblical epics were popular. The studio system was established, led by the "Big 5" studios. Meanwhile, the transition to sound began in the later 1920s, leading to the decline of silent films by the early 1930s and challenging many silent film stars.

The Hollywood Studio System Updated
The Hollywood Studio System of the 1930s-1950s saw six major studios tightly control film production, distribution, and exhibition. Studios owned theaters and had actors under long-term contracts. This vertical integration allowed studios to maximize profits through block booking. However, antitrust laws in the late 1940s ended this system by banning contracts and integration. Increased television competition in the 1950s further weakened studios. Today's Hollywood is organized around occasional blockbuster films made by independent directors and producers, though major studios still dominate production and distribution globally through extensive marketing budgets and existing brands.

Early experiments in film involved capturing motion through successive photographs, like Eadweard Muybridge's photographs of a running horse in 1878. Thomas Edison then developed the Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope viewer in the late 1880s, though his films were confined to his studio. The Lumiere Brothers introduced the portable Cinematographe camera and projector in 1895, allowing them to capture real-world events. One of their first films was the 50-second A Train Arriving at the Station. Early cinema was more focused on spectacle than narrative, but films like Melies's A Trip to the Moon in 1902 began introducing fantasy and basic plot elements. Directors like D.W. Griffith then advanced film
Hollywood Studio System (DAPS 6 and 7)
The Hollywood Studio System dominated the film industry from the 1920s to the 1950s. The major studios - MGM, Paramount, Fox, Warner Bros. - vertically integrated production, distribution, and exhibition. They signed actors to long-term contracts and tightly controlled their public images. Each studio developed niche styles, like MGM's prestige productions and Warner Bros.' gritty dramas. This factory system cranked out hundreds of films per year until its decline in the late 1940s due to antitrust action and the rise of television.

History of film
This document provides a brief history of film from 1890-2000, highlighting some key developments and influential movies from each decade. In the 1890s, Thomas Edison invented the Kinetograph, one of the first movie cameras. The first horror movie, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, was created in 1902. D.W. Griffith was an influential early director known for his editing techniques. In the 1960s, 2001: A Space Odyssey pioneered the use of green screen technology. Star Wars in the 1970s was one of the only major science fiction films of that decade and helped establish the practice of listing opening credits.
Technology and film
This document discusses how new media technology has revolutionized film production in three key areas:
1. Cinematography has shifted from film to digital formats, improving portability and reducing costs.
2. Editing has become digital and non-linear, speeding up the editing process and reducing costs.
3. Special effects now rely on computer-generated imagery, allowing for greater manipulation and realism at lower costs than practical effects.
However, new media technology has also impacted audiences by enabling piracy and changing the experience of watching films.
The Dark Knight - Production Marketing and Audience
The Dark Knight had an elaborate viral marketing campaign to promote the film. Warner Bros. created fake websites related to the plot and characters that fans could interact with online. They also held real-world scavenger hunts where fans searched cities for clues. This generated buzz and encouraged fans to share information about the film through word-of-mouth and online discussions. The viral campaign helped The Dark Knight become a box office success and one of the most profitable superhero films ever made.
History of Film
The history of film began in the 1880s with the invention of the first movie camera. Most early films produced before 1930 were silent. One of the earliest films was Roundhay Garden Scene filmed in 1888 in England. The Lumière brothers later developed the Cinématographe device for filming, printing, and projecting movies. The first public film showing occurred in Paris in 1895. As the silent film era continued, filmmakers began experimenting with special effects and animated films to enhance viewers' experiences. By the early 1900s, color film was also being developed, as the motion picture industry continued to evolve new techniques.

Cinema history
Cinema is the technique of projecting moving images to create the sense of movement. It was made possible by the invention of the cinematograph in 1895 by the Lumière Brothers. Over time, cinema evolved from silent films to include sound, then color. It is created through the collaborative efforts of directors, actors, screenwriters and other filmmakers. Some common film genres include silent films, science fiction, horror, suspense, war films, westerns, animated films, fantasy, and dramas.

The document provides a history of the development of cinema from its origins in the camera obscura to modern times. It traces key developments like the introduction of film by Kodak, the work of the Lumiere brothers who held the first public film screening, and the introduction of sound in films with the 1927 film The Jazz Singer. Important figures that advanced cinematic techniques include D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, V. Shantaram, and directors from the parallel cinema movement in India like Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, and Ritwik Ghatak. The document covers the growth of the industry in India and the establishment of major film studios there.
Powerpoint on film history
The document discusses the history of film from its earliest beginnings in the 1880s to developments in the 1930s-1940s. It notes that the first film was created in the late 1880s with the movie camera. The oldest surviving film is from 1888. Color film was not seen until 1932 starting with Disney's Flowers and Trees cartoon. The 1930s-1940s saw the rise of major Hollywood studios like 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros and was considered the Golden Age of film. The first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927.
Part 1 - Silent Era
The document provides a brief history of cinema from early inventions that created the illusion of movement to modern CGI films. It discusses early optical toys and chronophotography that led to the first moving images. Thomas Edison then developed one of the first movie cameras and the Kinetoscope for individual viewing. The Lumiere brothers combined the camera and projector, allowing films to be projected for audiences. The first feature films emerged in the silent era, but talking pictures began with The Jazz Singer in 1927, marking the transition from silent to sound films.
Media industry in context
There are three types of media products: mainstream, independent, and niche. Mainstream products have large budgets and distribution while independent products have lower budgets and limited distribution. Niche products target small, specific audiences. The document then provides details on several major media companies: the BBC as a public broadcaster in the UK, Apple as a technology company, Disney as a diversified entertainment conglomerate, and Rockstar Games as a video game developer known for the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
British cinematography

French New Wave
The French New Wave was an influential film movement that emerged in France in the late 1950s. A group of young film critics-turned-directors rejected classical filmmaking styles in favor of personal expression, deep composition, long takes, and location shooting. They drew inspiration from American films and aimed to bring a sense of realism and flexibility to cinema. Some of the most influential French New Wave films included Breathless, The 400 Blows, and Jules and Jim. The movement had a significant impact on global filmmaking styles.
Distribution Media Studies
Lionsgate would be the best distribution company for the filmmaker's thriller film aimed at teenagers. Lionsgate specializes in distributing similar thriller and teen-focused films like The Hunger Games and Twilight franchises. They have experience marketing to the target teenage audience. While Paramount distributes some thrillers, they focus more on big budget blockbusters and look for well-known directors and actors. Lionsgate would be more open to distributing an independent thriller. If a distribution deal cannot be secured, self-distributing to film festivals could generate buzz but success is unlikely as most festival films do not find audiences and the festivals do not target the film's intended teenage demographic.
Japanese movies
Japan has a long history in film dating back to the 1890s and remains one of the largest film industries in the world. Some of Japan's most notable silent films were produced in the 1920s and included works by directors like Teinosuke Kinugasa. The 1930s saw more talkies produced including works by legendary director Kenji Mizoguchi. World War II impacted the industry but post-war films saw a resurgence led by Akira Kurosawa's works in the 1940s and 1950s, which marked a golden age of Japanese cinema. Horror films also rose to prominence starting in the late 1990s with the success of works like Ringu and Ju-on: The Grudge, which

Some of the key events and innovations discussed include the introduction of synchronized soundtracks in the 1920s, early experiments with color and 3D films in the 1920s, the first all-color "talkie" in the late 1920s, the increasing use of Technicolor in the 1930s, the introduction of widescreen formats and improved sound in the 1950s to lure audiences away from television, the rise of sequels, blockbusters and home video in later decades, and the emergence of CGI animation and digital surround sound in the 1990s.
Impact of New Digital technology in the Film Industry
Digital technology has significantly impacted the film industry and audiences in several ways:
1. It has revolutionized film production, distribution, marketing and exhibition by making films cheaper and easier to make and distribute, and enhancing the viewing experience with 3D and IMAX theaters.
2. Audiences have become more "prosumers" or producer-consumers through new digital technologies that allow them to engage more actively with media like social media.
3. The relationship between institutions and audiences has changed - institutions now try to "trigger engagement" through various platforms as audiences can choose what media they want and how they consume it.
4. Online distribution through sites like Netflix and YouTube following the "long tail" theory

Film Industry: New/ Digital Technology Issues
New digital technologies are impacting all stages of film production, distribution, marketing and exhibition. This includes using CGI for set creation and visual effects, non-linear editing, and harnessing both traditional and digital filming technologies. Distribution is evolving with vertical and horizontal integration across different platforms like theatrical, DVD, and online. Marketing utilizes viral strategies, 360 degree campaigns, and interactive websites. Exhibition is expanding through digital cinema, streaming, and portable converged devices. Audiences now have more control and choice in their film experiences.
Digital technology affect on film industry
Digital technology has significantly impacted the film industry over the past decade. As digital cameras and broadband internet became more accessible to the public, people were able to create and distribute their own films, extending existing brands and promoting major studio films. However, this also led to increased piracy. Major studios have responded by decreasing film production as digital technologies have enabled independent films to be shot without large budgets. Going forward, the film industry will continue adapting to new technologies and changing audience habits.
The Evolution & Future of the Film Industry
Film industry has been expansively affected by technological changes. Both mechanical and digital innovations have influenced everything from equipment to distribution, changing how films are made and the way in which we consume them.
New trends in many cases shape directors and filmmakers to think about new approaches when telling stories in motions. Film has developed to one of the most important tools of communication, affecting the way individuals and societies think, act and behave.

The reflection notes that effective advertisements don't need much text and that simple designs focusing on the artists can be impactful.
2. genre music video analysis
The document discusses and analyzes two indie rock music videos - "Ruby" and "Never Miss a Beat". It finds that both videos convey messages through their fast-paced movements and symbolic elements. For "Ruby", the construction of a town represents building a relationship, while "Never Miss a Beat" suggests kids today don't get a proper education. Both videos feature the artists in everyday clothing to portray them as normal people expressing their experiences. Musical instruments shown help establish the videos' indie rock genre.
5. digipak analysis
The genre of the album is meant to be indie rock based on its cover showing ordinary men hanging out, similar to albums by The Smiths and Kaiser Chiefs. The front cover focuses on the main artist to identify who performed the music, which could be about lost love based on the fading pink color. While the title is concealed on the front, it is prominently displayed on the back to emphasize that the songs are by these artists. Brown initials are burnt onto the back cover, possibly indicating the type of different songs on the album compared to the front.
7. theories of production
The document discusses different theories seen in Lady Gaga's music video for "Telephone" including:
1) Narcissism is portrayed through Gaga's revealing clothing and intimate dance routine showing confidence in her body.
2) Intertextual referencing is shown through credits mimicking a movie format and text similar to "Jackie Brown". Beyonce's nickname "Honey Bee" references "Pulp Fiction".
3) Elements are directly taken from "Kill Bill" such as the "pussy wagon" car, though the director said the video wasn't meant to mirror "Kill Bill". A killing spree also mirrors a Quentin Tarantino film.
7. theories of production
The document discusses several theories that are present in Lady Gaga's music video for "Telephone" including narcissism, intertextual referencing, homage, and bricolage. Narcissism is shown through Gaga's revealing clothing and intimate dance routine. Intertextual referencing is demonstrated through similarities to movie credits and the film Jackie Brown. Homage is paid through the use of a car from Kill Bill, though the director said the video was not meant to mirror Kill Bill. Bricolage involves borrowing from other media, like Gaga using poison to challenge gender stereotypes.
5. certificate ratings
Certificate ratings provide guidelines for classifying films based on their content. Films are rated U, PG, 12A, 15, or 18 depending on the extent of bad language, sexual content, violence, horror and drug usage. A murder mystery film would likely receive a PG, 12A or 15 rating depending on how graphically any violent scenes are depicted. The ratings aim to help determine what age groups can view different types of content.
