Chapter 5 of a university course in media history by Prof. Bill Kovarik, based on the book Revolutions in Communication: Media History from Gutenberg to the Digital Age (Bloomsbury, 2nd ed., 2015).
This presentation was created in 2009 for a high school film production class and updated in 2020. It provides a visual accompaniment to a classroom lecture on Film History. This module covers the period from the beginnings of photography through the early days of exhibition including projectors and projection techniques.
In 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I recorded a video of this presentation. Here is the link:https://youtu.be/GQuJJ8QkHQE Please feel free to use it in your classrooms.
The history of Cinema spans over a hundred years, from the latter part of the 19th century to the present day and beyond. Motion pictures developed gradually from a carnival novelty to one of the most important tools of communication and entertainment, and mass media in the 20th century.
Motion picture films have had a substantial impact on the arts, technology, and politics. This slide will take you through the evolution of the Cinema and the how the story telling narrative changed over years.

Taming Information Overload through Curation 2012 PresentationK3 Hamilton
Presentation for Advancing Learning Conference 2012
Description: Mitchell Kapor, founder of the Electronic Frontier, wisely said that “getting information off the internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. Our instant-on, hyper-connected world provides us with millions upon millions of pieces of data anytime and anyplace in a simple click. But how do we sort through all that data to reach the relevant information we seek? Can we trust the “Googlebot” to give us or our students the best of what’s there? How do we tame that massive overload of data?
The most valuable resource we have is community and shared resources. This workshop will introduce you to the curation community and the tools you’ll need to become an effective curator. Some of the tools discussed will be twitter, delicious, facebook, pinterest, tweeted times, paper.li, curated.by, scoop.it, zite, and flipboard.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Hired by Leland Stanford to prove
whether during horse's gallop, all 4
hooves were off the ground at the
same time.
Findings:
Hooves all leave the ground but not
at the point of full extension forward
and back, as illustrators imagined,
but when all the hooves are tucked
under the horse, as it switches from
"pulling" from the front legs to
"pushing" from the back legs
Photos show each hoof hits the
ground just as another is leaving it.
At full gallop it gets traction from one
hoof at a time.

Inspired by Muybridge’s work, Edison
decided to develop a motion picture
camera. He bought 90 Muybridge
Motion Study Images.
1889 he filed a patent for his
Kinetoscope to view moving pictures
Although Edison conceived of the idea,
most agree that it was his assistant
William Dickson who did most of the
experimentation and work for the
device.
Edison had idea to etch pictures on
photographic cylinders.
Dickson switched to celluloid film to
demonstrate synchronized motion
with sound.

Edison's Kinetograph was a motion picture
camera developed by William Dickson,
1892
Kinetograph uses rapid intermittent film
movement to record the movement of
images by taking pictures in quick
succession. Played back it creates illusion
of motion.
To record it uses a motor to run gelatin film
over a photographic lens.

that could make films, process
and project movies- 35mm film
at 16 frames per second
Named it Cinematographie
shortened to cinema
1896 they opened theatres in
London, Brussels, Belgium and
New York to show films.

One of the first films was
Workers Leaving the factory.
Appeal of people "caught in the

Vitaphone vs
Phonofilm
1920s two competing types
of sound were being used
Vitaphone was sound on disc
Phonofilm was sound on film
27. 27
Synchronized Sound
Late 1920s
The Vitaphone process was sound
on disc played along with a movie
to give the illusion of talking
pictures.
1926 Vitaphone publicly
introduced with premiere of Don
Juan, the first feature-length
movie to have a synchronized
sound system of any type
throughout.
The soundtrack had a musical
score and sound effects were
added but there was no dialogue.
Vitaphone= Sound on Disc
28. 28
First Dialogue:
Vitaphone (Disc): Warner Bros.
The Jazz Singer, 1927
Only 4 sequences have sound and only a
few moments of dialogue)
About the Jewish experience-the conflict
between aged cantor and his young,
assimilated son who wants to enter show
business.
Actor who plays his role in blackface.
Story of assimilation and
Americanization, but it contains a highly
offensive racial image.
Racism combined with the expropriation
of African American identity.

Sound on Disc : 1926-1931
Vitaphone
Weakness: cumbersome equipment, vulnerable to severe
synchronization problems, inability to edit

The brothers opened theatres to show their films (cinemas).
In the first 4 months of 1896 they had opened Cinématographe theatres in London, Brussels, Belgium and New York.
The inventions of moviemaking is fraught with smoke and mirrors. Someone was constantly taking credit for advances and processes. The Lumiere's were good at being entrepreneurs and they succeeded in getting to the patent office first.
