History of film
This article is about the history of film as an artistic medium. For the history of motion-picture technology, see History of film technology. New film techniques that were introduced in this period include the use of artificial lighting, fire effects and Low-key lighting (i.e. lighting in which most of the frame is dark) for enhanced atmosphere during sinister scenes. As films grew longer, specialist writers were employed to simplify more complex stories derived from novels or plays into a form that could be contained on one reel. Genres began to be used as categories; the main division was into comedy and drama, but these categories were further subdivided. The years of the First World War were a complex transitional period for the film industry. D. The desire for wartime propaganda created a renaissance in the film industry in Britain, with realistic war dramas. During the 1980s, audiences began increasingly watching films on their home VCRs.

Even the son of the Prime Ministers Anthony Asquith joined in to keep the industry alive. But in 1927 Parliament brought in an important piece of legislation the Cinematographers Trade Bill, designed to ensure there was a guaranteed home market for British made films. All was not lost and in the 30’s the British Cinema Industry would start to rise from its knees. John Maxwell's British International Studios trained many of this period's notable directors, writers and cameramen. In 1933 J. All the major film producers started to take over studios. During the 1930's two other valuable assets came along; the British Film Institute and the National Film Archives.

História do cinema Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Estabelecer marcos históricos é sempre perigoso e arbitrário, particularmente, no campo das artes. Inúmeros fatores concorrem para o estabelecimento de determinada técnica, seu emprego, práticas associadas e impacto numa ordem cultural. Aqui serão apresentados alguns, no intuito de melhor conhecer esta complexa manifestação estética a qual muitos chamam de a 7ª Arte. De fato, a data de 28 de Dezembro de 1895, é especial no que refere ao cinema, e sua história. Neste dia, no Salão Grand Café, em Paris, os Irmãos Lumière fizeram uma apresentação pública dos produtos de seu invento ao qual chamaram Cinematógrafo. Hoje em dia, o cinema baseia-se em projeções públicas de imagens animadas. Em 1876, Eadweard Muybridge fez uma experiência: primeiro colocou 12 e depois 24 câmeras fotográficas ao longo de um hipódromo e tirou várias fotos da passagem de um cavalo.

Film A vintage Fox movietone motion picture camera A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. The individual images that make up a film are called frames. The name "film" originates from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the medium for recording and displaying motion pictures.

Movie camera The movie camera, film camera or cine-camera is a type of photographic camera which takes a rapid sequence of photographs on strips of film. The video camera has largely replaced it for private use, but for professional purposes, movie cameras are used and produced today, especially for the production of full-feature movies. In contrast to a still camera, which captures a single snapshot at a time, the movie camera takes a series of images; each image constitutes a "frame". This is accomplished through an intermittent mechanism. The frames are later played back in a movie projector at a specific speed, called the frame rate (number of frames per second). History[edit] Early experimentation[edit] The first patented film camera was designed in England by Frenchman Louis Le Prince in 1888. Another early pioneer was the British inventor William Friese-Greene. Charles Kayser of the Edison lab seated behind the Kinetograph. Mass-market[edit] Technical details[edit] Multiple cameras[edit]

Cinema of the United Kingdom Overview of the cinema of the United Kingdom The identity of the British film industry, particularly as it relates to Hollywood, has often been the subject of debate. Its history has often been affected by attempts to compete with the American industry. The career of the producer Alexander Korda was marked by this objective, the Rank Organisation attempted to do so in the 1940s, and Goldcrest in the 1980s. Numerous British-born directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan and Ridley Scott,[14] and performers, such as Charlie Chaplin[15] and Cary Grant, have achieved success primarily through their work in the United States. In 2009, British films grossed around $2 billion worldwide and achieved a market share of around 7% globally and 17% in the United Kingdom.[16] UK box-office takings totalled £1.1 billion in 2012,[17] with 172.5 million admissions.[18] History[edit] Origins and silent films[edit] The Lumière brothers first brought their show to London in 1896. In 1934, J.

História do Cinema Foi no final do século XIX, em 1895, na França, os irmãos Louis e Auguste Lumière inventaram o cinema. Na primeira metade deste século a fotografia já havia sido inventada por Louis-Jacques Daguerre e Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, possibilitando esta criação revolucionária no mundo das artes e da indústria cultural: o cinema. Para se chegar à projeção cinematográfica atual, muitos processos de investigação foram feitos em relação aos fundamentos da ciência óptica. Já vem dos primórdios da humanidade a necessidade de registrar movimentos através de pinturas e desenhos nas paredes. No século XIX, muitos aparelhos que buscavam estudar o fenômeno da persistência retiniana foram construídos, este fenômeno é o que mantém a imagem em fração de segundos na retina. Criado pelo francês Charles Émile Reynaud o Praxinoscópio foi um invento importante para o surgimento do cinema. O americano Edwin S. A indústria cinematográfica atual é um mercado exigente e promissor para diferentes áreas do saber.

Film History Before 1920 Innovations Necessary for the Advent of Cinema: Optical toys, shadow shows, 'magic lanterns,' and visual tricks have existed for thousands of years. Many inventors, scientists, manufacturers and scientists have observed the visual phenomenon that a series of individual still pictures set into motion created the illusion of movement - a concept termed persistence of vision. This illusion of motion was first described by British physician Peter Mark Roget in 1824, and was a first step in the development of the cinema. A number of technologies, simple optical toys and mechanical inventions related to motion and vision were developed in the early to late 19th century that were precursors to the birth of the motion picture industry: [A very early version of a "magic lantern" was invented in the 17th century by Athanasius Kircher in Rome. Late 19th Century Inventions and Experiments: Muybridge, Marey, Le Prince and Eastman The Birth of US Cinema: Thomas Edison and William K.L. Young Griffo v.

The History of the Motion Picture The first machine patented in the United States that showed animated pictures or movies was a device called the "wheel of life" or "zoopraxiscope". Patented in 1867 by William Lincoln, moving drawings or photographs were watched through a slit in the zoopraxiscope. However, this was a far cry from motion pictures as we know them today. The Frenchman Louis Lumiere is often credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. The Cinematographe made motion pictures very popular, and it could be better be said that Lumiere's invention began the motion picture era. The Lumiere brothers were not the first to project film.

The British Cinema History Research Project In 2001 the Film, Television and Media Studies department at the University of East Anglia was awarded a substantial grant under the AHRB's Resource Enhancement Scheme. There are two main strands of the project, each of which is designed to encourage wider use of a major resource in the study of British film history through the creation of online materials. Kine Weekly The BCHRP has produced a detailed online index to Kinematograph Weekly for the years from May 1955 to February 1971 when the magazine folded, together with sample material from 1915 and from 1943-1945. While other sources provide references for reviews in Kine Weekly, for the first time this index also allows researchers to trace the history of individual cinemas, towns, personnel, production companies, studios and subjects as they are mentioned in the magazines many articles and news items.
