Subject: Understanding cinema
Lesson 1: What is cinema and Film as an art
Faculty Name: Amol Jadhav
Film developed as an art form in the late 19th century with the invention of technologies like still photography, celluloid film strips, and early devices like the kinetoscope that allowed successive photos to be viewed as moving images. Over time, film evolved into a collaborative medium incorporating the work of directors, actors, cinematographers, editors and other roles. Directors work with ideas, images and effects to conceptualize scenes and express their vision, though they rely on entire production teams. Different film genres also emerged like silent comedies, gangster films, and others in response to technological advances and audience demand.
The document provides a historical overview of the film industry from the 1890s to the 1990s. It discusses the key developments and eras in three sentences:
The early history of film from the 1890s to the 1920s saw the invention of motion picture cameras, the establishment of film studios, and the rise of the film industry as mass entertainment before the introduction of sound. The 1950s saw the popularity of large-scale biblical and historical epics as well as the golden ages of cinema in India, Japan, and the Philippines. The 1990s saw major studios create independent production companies to finance non-mainstream films as audiences began increasingly watching films at home on VCRs.
Cinema began with the invention of the cinematograph by the Lumière Brothers in 1895. They held the first public exhibition of 10 short films in Paris, demonstrating the new technique of projecting moving images. For the first 30 years, cinema was silent and accompanied by live music, with early films like "The Arrival of a Train" still famous today. Actors portray dramatic roles, and directors guide all creative and technical aspects of film production. Early film types included silent films, feature films over 70 minutes, short films under 20 minutes, documentaries about reality, and animated films made from sequences of drawn images.
This document provides an overview of key film analysis concepts including mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound, narrative, representation, documentary, animation, and Quebec cinema. It examines these concepts through analysis and examples from films such as Citizen Kane, Run Lola Run, Do the Right Thing, Frankenweenie, and C.R.A.Z.Y. Key techniques are defined for each concept, such as the use of camera angles, movement, and distance in cinematography. Narrative elements like motifs, parallels, and turning points are also discussed.
The document outlines several key differences between acting for the stage versus acting for film. Film acting requires a different approach as films are shot out of sequence, scheduled logistically, and cannot build to a climax like a play. Film performances are assembled in the editing process, placing the actor's performance in the director and editor's hands. Method acting, pioneered by Constantin Stanislavsky, takes a more realistic internal approach compared to theatrical acting. Famous members of the Actors Studio, which was based on Stanislavsky's concepts, include Robert De Niro, Sidney Poitier, and Marlon Brando. Key differences between plays and films include an emphasis on dialogue in plays versus action in films, a
Here are the answers to the activity questions:
- The Jazz Singer was the movie that developed the change from silent films to sound films.
- The first line of dialogue in film history was "Wait a minute: you haven’t heard anything." uttered by the protagonist, Al Jolson, looking at the camera in The Jazz Singer.
- Light is the essential element in the Black and White films.
- Before actual methods, frames were painted frame by frame or films were turned into monochrome tones through a dye bath.
- Digital Cinematography is the process of capturing motion picture images digitally rather than on film, such as to video, hard disks, flash memory or other media that
The history of cinema can be broken down into seven ages:
1) The Pioneering Age from 1896-1912 saw the development of early motion picture technology and short films without narratives.
2) The Silent Age from 1913-1927 featured the emergence of Hollywood and use of techniques like camera movement to develop stories.
3) The Transition Age from 1928-1932 was when films moved from silent to adding synchronized sound.
4) The Hollywood Studio Age from 1932-1946 was dominated by major studios producing genre films.
5) The Internationalist Age from 1947-1959 saw the decline of studios and rise of challenges from foreign films and television.
6) The New Wave Age from 1960-1980 was defined
South Korean Cinema (Finalized Presentation)Brian McDaniel
South Korean cinema has a long history dating back to the early 1900s during Japanese occupation. It experienced a golden age in the post-war decades but declined in the 1970s. A renaissance began in the late 1990s, sparked by films like Shiri that had higher production values. This period saw Korean films overtake American films at the box office. Hybridity theory holds that South Korean cinema incorporated techniques from other countries like the US while highlighting local culture. Major hits during this time dealt with Korea's relations with other nations.

This document provides a history of film and various film genres from 1895 to modern day. It discusses the earliest silent films from 1895-1902, the introduction of sound in 1927 with The Jazz Singer, the first cartoon Mickey Mouse in 1928, the first color film in 1902, and the earliest horror film The Devil's Castle in 1896. It then outlines the evolution of horror films through different decades as the genre incorporated new influences and technological advancements in sound, color, and gore. Finally, it lists common conventions for the genre including ominous music, dark lighting, isolated settings, and the use of props like knives and chainsaws.
The document discusses the early history of film from 1895 to the 1930s. It describes some of the first films created by the Lumiere brothers in 1895 and the work of Georges Melies in the late 1890s and early 1900s who helped develop early film techniques. It also outlines the growth of the American film industry in the first decades of the 20th century as movies became more commercial and popular forms of entertainment.

This document provides an overview of film criticism and reviews. It begins with background on the history of film from the 1890s invention of motion picture cameras. It then defines what a film and film review are. A film review evaluates and assesses a film's quality and determines if it is worth recommending. The document also distinguishes between journalistic film criticism found in magazines and newspapers from academic film criticism, which takes a more theoretical examination of how and why films work from a cultural perspective. Key journalistic and academic film critics are named like James Agee, Vincent Canby, and Andre Bazin.
This presentation traces the evolution of cinema through different eras, from its origins with early inventors creating devices to generate moving images, to the establishment of full narrative films and movie studios in the Silent Era. Sound was introduced in the 1930s-1960s, and films became more explicit in the 1970s-1980s as censorship rules relaxed. The 1980s saw the rise of home video and blockbuster films, while the 1990s saw the growth of independent cinema alongside large special effects films, with new technologies further enhancing the home viewing experience.
The document discusses what defines a film. It begins by asking three basic questions about film studies: what is a film, what is its appeal to viewers, and how does it appeal. It then focuses on the first question of what a film is. A film is defined as an audiovisual moving image that tells a story in a sequence with a beginning, middle and end. It uses movement of objects, people and time to create narrative events. While similar to other art forms, a film is unique in that it must align its pace to time and have a fixed point of view from a lead protagonist moving against the real world backdrop.

It then outlines the major periods and developments in cinema, including the silent age from 1913-1927 which saw the rise of Hollywood, the transition to sound films from 1928-1932, and the classical Hollywood studio era from 1932-1946 dominated by the major studios. The document discusses the decline of the studios, the rise of television, and new international cinemas and styles from the late 1940s onward. It traces cinema's evolution from early one-shot films to narrative storytelling and increasing cinematic
The key stages of film production are development, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution. During development, financing is secured through investors attracted by the script, stars attached, and the director. Pre-production involves finalizing the script, scheduling, budgeting, casting, and location scouting. Production encompasses filming all scenes and recording audio. Post-production consists of editing, sound mixing, visual effects, and scoring music. Distribution gets the finished film in front of audiences through various release windows.
Bollywood refers to the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, India. It derives its name from a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name of Mumbai) and Hollywood. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest film industries in the world in terms of films and tickets produced and sold annually. The Indian film industry has evolved greatly from the silent films of the 1910s to become a technologically advanced, globally recognized industry producing over 1000 films annually across multiple regional languages including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and others. Key events in its history include the first talkie film in 1931, the arrival of color film in the late 1930s, and the "
This document provides an overview of approaches to teaching film language. It introduces various macro and micro elements of film language like genre, cinematography, editing, mise-en-scene, sound, and special effects. For each element, it describes techniques like camera shots, camera movements, editing techniques, uses of sound, and types of special effects. It emphasizes having students practice identifying and analyzing these techniques by watching and discussing film clips in order to develop their understanding of how film language is used and its impact on narrative.
Film genres involve classifying films into categories based on similar aspects such as narratives, characters, filming techniques, or other formal features. Genre theory is used by filmmakers to elicit expectations from audiences and help studios create films that attract attention and engagement. Understanding genre helps producers market films to the desired audience as people tend to watch similar genres that appeal to them. However, genre theory is not perfect and films may be difficult to categorize, especially as technology changes what constitutes different genres over time.
The document outlines the key stages of film production as development, pre-production, production, and post-production. Development includes securing financing, script development, and hiring key crew. Pre-production consists of finalizing scripts, scheduling, budgeting, casting, and location scouting. Production is the principal photography and filming of the movie.
The Lumiere Brothers were Auguste and Louis Lumiere, two French brothers who were technical innovators in photography and film. After seeing Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, they set out to create a device that overcame its limitations of only allowing one viewer at a time. By 1895, they had invented the Cinematographe, a much smaller hand-cranked device that could both film and project movies, establishing the standard of 16 frames per second. The Cinematographe was a major improvement over Edison's Kinetoscope and is credited with inventing the basis of modern cinematography.
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.

Mississippi Burning" refers to the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers - Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney - in Neshoba County, Mississippi by members of the Ku Klux Klan. Their deaths sparked a large FBI investigation that eventually led to the arrest and imprisonment of some of the perpetrators years later. In 1988, the film "Mississippi Burning" was released depicting these events and trials, bringing widespread attention to this tragic case from the Civil Rights era.
Mississippi Burning - Analysis of Opening SceneKelly Bleackley
The opening scene of Mississippi Burning is analyzed in 3 parts:
1) It begins with silent black screens and the shaded view of segregated water fountains, establishing the pre-civil rights era setting.
2) It then cuts to a burning church with no one coming to help, before panning to a car driving down an empty road late at night with 3 men.
3) Several unlit cars suddenly appear, revealed to be full of armed white men. They pull the men over and the passenger is fatally shot, emphasizing the threat of violence and lawlessness in the area.
The purpose of a trailer is to promote and advertise films before they are released in cinemas. Early trailers consisted of key scenes and narration from films. In the 1960s, trailers began featuring quick editing and montages without narration. Today, longer trailers have replaced other pre-film entertainment, taking up about 20 minutes after the posted show time.

Traditional animation involves drawing each frame by hand and photographing them to create motion. Stop motion animation takes photos of physical objects moved slightly between shots. 3D animation creates computer-generated objects and environments. 2D animation also draws each frame but uses modern technology. Animation is used for entertainment, education, advertising and more due to its ability to engage audiences and communicate ideas through movement and storytelling.

The word Cinema is derived as a shortened form of
cinematograph (an instrument) or cinematography (an art of
visualization through camera that captures moving images)

was screened at Café La Grande, Paris
on 28th December 1892.
Lumiere brothers captured the events which occurred around
and projected the reality on screen.
They developed an equipment which was built on the principles
of still photography but could capture moving images. It was
called Cinematograph.
Arrival of train in a station, a naughty boy with a gardener and
workers coming out of a factory are some of the noted works and
earlier movies made by Lumiere Bros.
