Production
Many years ago films were produced in black and white and only with a sound track. They were more of a comedy sketch. In 1902 tinted films were made, this was the first step towards coloured films. The first sound-on-film took place in New York City in April 1923. The only editing that took place was adding a sound track. However editing now consists of changing the lighting, editing the transitions and cuts, many different types of sounds, the biggest change to sound was dialogue. Cameras became more high-tec and were able to zoom in and out. Other devises like the crane helped form different types of camera work.
Distribution
In the 1900’s the only way you could watch a motion was on the spinner. Since then it had progressed. The first moving pictures were developed in 1889 and shown in Hyde Park. Since then cinemas have become popular and is still the most common way to view a film. The marketing of a film has changed dramatically, it used done by using posters or billboards. However now it’s on the internet, radio, TV and other technology like mobile phones.
Exhibition
A spindle viewer was one way, many years ago people would view moving image. This is where a spinner with gaps spins fast so the pictures on the inside would make a moving image. The very first type of exhibition was the hand held, lightweight device that was cranked my hand. This was created by the Lumiere brothers. The films were 17 metres long and run for approximly 50 seconds. The craze over the internet means people can now view films online, illegal or legal. There are many websites that allow the public to download or stream online. Another way people view films in through piracy. This is an illegal act where a film in the cinema is filmed, then copied and sold. Video and DVD is the legal way a film is sold. Technology has now evolved so you can see films on mobile phones, play stations and iPods.
