I am going to be talking about the development of technology in the film industry. I will comment and evaluate how film has evolved over the course of the last 100 years, to do this I will need to do research on how film has changed.
The late 1800s was an extremely vital year for film development and it all started with the two men ‘Louise Le Prince’ and ‘William Friese-Green’. Both men have been credited with the creation of the first ‘Camera’, many debate who created. The first camera could capture a sequence of images in a quick succession on a filmstrip. The first showing of a moving film was in England was called ‘Arrival of train at (The Lumiere Brothers, 1985’) without these early films we wouldn’t have the films we know and love today. The ‘Lumiere Brothers’ held some of the first screening images in 1885. The audience supposedly ran out because they thought the train was real. As you can see film was something very new and has developed into something amazing. Despite moving images being as concept before the ‘Lumiere Brother’ however many argue that they influenced many other filmmakers such as ‘George Melies’ who supposedly the first person to add narrative to a moving. Some also believe that the Chinese however that is up for debate.
Before movies had sound there was a golden age of film without sound this era was famous for over-the-top skits and title in-between shots. One of the most famous character and symbol of this era was Charlie Chaplin. He single handily carried this era however there was an issue with this type of film the narrative was very limited so film had to evolve. It all started with the movie ‘The Jazz Singer’ the first monition with sound effects and synchronized dialogue. This created a new genre of film ‘talkers’
The next development of the film industry was the ability to have color in your film. Before 1937 all films and pictures where in black and white however this wasn’t a bad thing. Many movies created in the black and white era can and did evoke emotion with the audience and some even awarded Oscars. ‘Cupid Angling’ (1918) was the first feature film in color however the most famous was the ‘Wizard of Oz’ 1939. This movie was brought to life with ‘Technicolor’
Before we had digital camera and where able to capture, develop, project and store film we had to use a different method this method was called photo chemical. This method has and still is being used today. Many agree that being able to have the physical copy of your film is more reliable compared to having it on a computer it can become corrupted. Many film which have been captured with digital cameras aren’t watchable anymore this is why many filmmakers believe this new development in film industry will kill film. This system has a number of issues disadvantages the first being the cost. When compared to a movie likes slum dog millionaire, which was the fist digitally shot movie to win an Oscar. This was a break though in digital movies however it was a huge hit on film.
The up and coming new technology to take over the film industry was digital up. For a long time film were and still is the norm when making a film. The film camera to some people are the only way of making film however there was a lot of disadvantaged’s when it coming to a film. The first issue was the price of making a film. The average film could hold around 10 minutes worth of film once the film ran out you would have to get another copy this was a time consuming and money consuming method. The second issue was the distribution cost and processing the film however there was a lot of advantages with the method and style of making a movie the fist being the pace of the movie. Nowadays film directors can stop look and footage and this slows down the pace compared to a movie shot on film where you did not have that options. They would have to wait until it was proceed.
