16 wishes

16 wishes is about a girl that wanted to make it real all her wishes in her 16 birthday. She had like fairytale that help her. She had a box with 16 candles and when she blow one of them one of their wishes of the list will came true. This movie was played in the TV, it had good shots, angles and sounds. This movie talks about a lot of imaginary things like fairytales, but in human beings. This movie had some parts as the first Cinderella, that change the things like with magic this movie had some parts of it. It used good sounds for every object: steps, doors, magic, laughs, etc.

Problems in films during the sound era

In the silent era the movies were very popular, because it just need a viewer to understant the jokes, terror, usual days, etc. Ecuadorian movies had good movies during this time, but when the sound appears Ecuador's films goes down. The reasons about this was first of all because the foreign language of the actors, this was a problems because there were actor of every part of the world, so they had different accents and viewers didn't liked this. Another reason was because they did't had sets that can be recorded with sounds. Also they needed to spend a lot of money during this period, because they created new sets, they by new machines of sound, they need new actors, so this was very difficult for directors during that time.

Spiderman 2

In this movie appear a lot of shots like medium shot, full, shot, long shot, close-up. Movies with action had a lot of movements, so the camera had to be in a good position to record every little detail. This movie also used a lot of computer generated effect (CGI), because there were some things that can´t be record, because of lack of place or of danger. This movie was directed by Sam Raimi and written by Alvin Sargent.

Journals of films

Making a movie had a lot of responsibility, is not just had money and create a set and find actors, is a lot of work. Before making a movie the director had to have the script, the storyboard and finally the journal. This last thing is very important, because here is where is written all the things and ideas that had be changing throw the shoots of the movie until get the final product. Here also are the types of sets that they had to found, or the troubles that they had during the filming. In the journal is where they wrote everything that they have to pass of.

Soundtrack from the movie The Bucket List

All the music that appeared in this movie was composed by Marc Shaiman. In the movie appears 23 trakcs. Each sound was created for the different envioronments that the movie had, and also depended by the mood of the characters. Shaiman created all the sound by his own voice and lyrics.
There also were others composer that created great sounds as Marguerite Monnot, Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and so on.

Ecuadorian Movies

The Company of Ecuador was founded in Guayaquil in 1924. Ecuador had its Cinema Golden Age during the early 20´s to 30´s, but it failed with the coming of the sounds movies.
There were a lot of countries that get inspired of Ecuador and created numerous books and novels based of it, like the novel Galapagos directed by Kurt Vonnegut.
The first movie created in Ecuador was “ Los tesoros de Atahualpa” (1924) and the most talked “Que tan lejos”. This movies represented Ecuador and won Oscars.

Moulin Rouge

This movie won an Oscar with the Director Baz Luhrmann. This movie followed the success of Romeo and Juliet. This is a principal characteristic of the director, Luhrmann. The colors that the director used are the blue and red in their costumes. Also he use rapid cuts and vibrant, that identify their style in all the movies that he create.

In the movie Moulin Rouge Baz Luhrmann, the director, put one on the most important characteristics that is to make the characters contrast, in their colors, mood, passion and personality.

Sound Films

In the sounds Films was the same idea of the cinema, because it was a combination of motion Pictures with recorded sound. On February 27, 1888, Eadweard Muybridge and Thomas Edison met each other. They don’t have any agreement, but in a year Thomas Edison develop the Kinetopscope as a visual complement to his cylinder phonograph. In 1899 the Cinemacrophonograph as created, this was a Project of sound-film, this was similar as the Kinetophone. This Project needs individual earphones.

The first publicly exhibited Films with images and Clement-Maurice Gratioulet and Henri Lioret of France presented recorded sound at the Paris Exposition in 1900.

Resident Evil 4

This movie is very interesting. First I thought that I wouldn’t like it, but when I saw it I realized that was very interesting, because the makeup and sounds.

This movie had a lot of sounds, because is of suspense and this type of movies had a lot of sounds like, doors opening, screams, noise of people. As we already know this sounds are recorded in the post- production.

Another thing that had this movie was the makeup, because was zombies, so they had to make it seems almost real and make the viewer belief that there were zombies.

To get a perfect project, all the group of film production had to be united and work together to make it good.

Filmmaking

The Filmmaking or Film production is a process of creating and making a film, for a script, storyboard until get the final product. This process happened during few month to several years to get the final task. This part of the film takes place all over the world and with a lot of range of economic, social and political aspects. They used techniques of recording images to film and videos.

The film production or Filmmaking had 5 stages:

· Development: Here is when the script has to be written and the storyboard.

· Pre-Production: Here is when started the preparations for the film, sets, decoration.

· Production: Here the law elements for the finished film are recorded.

· Post-Production: Here is when the film is edited, the sounds, the special; effects, the effects, the dialogue.

· Sales and distribution: The film is ready to be on screen and sell.

Casablanca

In this movie we can see the use of different shots and angles like: over the shoulder shot, high angle, medium shot, close-up, and many others. The director used this shots and angles to make the viewers interested on those details and angles that anyone could see.
The music in this movie is very interesting because in each scene of a different problem is a different intense of the music. The music was written by Max Steiner. The interesting music in this movie was the “Duel of songs”, between Strasser and Laszlo at Rick´s Café. When each character appears were a different song, and when the movie still goes on the intensity of the songs increase and here creates a duel. In this movie are a lot of songs created by different musicians like: Isham Jones, Cecil Mack, Al Jolson , etc.
Casablanca was a great movie for me, because in that time it had almost all the things that a film have to have, like lights, shots, angles, music, etc. The lights were very interesting too, because we can see that they used a lot of lamps to reflect like a suspicious set and with lamps they created shadows on the characters and made them more interesting.

Sound effects

This refers to all the sound elements that the production creates to create the atmosphiere of the scene in a movie. There are some kinds of effects:
· Hard sound effect: Are common sounds that appears on screen like doors open, cars driving, etc.
· Background sound effect: Are sounds that don´t go at the same time with the image, but they indicate the setting to the viewers like car interiors, forest sounds, etc.
· Foley sound effects: Are sounds that goes at the same time of the image like, footsteps, movements with hand, foots, etc.
· Design sound effect: Are sounds very rare, because they not easily to record in nature. These sounds are usually on fiction films or in musical films to created mood.
All of these sound effects are used by sound editors that are professionals in the sound area.

Jurassic Park and the CGI

Jurassic Park is a science fiction of 1993 American. In this movie the director, Steven Spielberg, use computer generated effects in the computer, because it was difficult for the filmmaker to created all the set of the past and the huge dinosaur us, because they never saw a animal like those. They had to create miniatures and with the computer generated effects they can make them bigger and create the sets more realistic as it was possible. Stan Winston creates the animatronics dinosaurs. They moved all the details from the computer. The editor monitored every aspect of the movie as the rain, dinosaurs, sun, etc. , with all of this is why the movie is one of the most interesting in the moment of production, because it had to created in computer everything and that expend a lot of time filming.

CGI

The motion pictures are a visual effect and an art of illusion. Film viewers had watched a lot of effects some of them more realistic than others, but in the whole era of film it tried to created new systems and effects to make it more interesting. The computer Generated Effects are more useful for filmmakers, because is cheaper. They used the technology in computer when they wanted to created sets in the past, because there are difficult to create exactly the same and with the computer they can design new outfits and they can change the color of the skin, hair, shapes of the face, and everything related with the body. People could use computer generated effects in commercial, TV, movies. Those effects could be visible easily in movies and others that are non- easily visible.

Alice in Wonderland

This movie as we all know was a children book, and the director Burton change this classic, to the subconscious with nonsensical rhymes and literally crazy characters. In this movie we can see effects as the head of the red queen, all the effects that they used have to shoot in a special set with just one color background, because with this they can add effects. All the characters and movements that they used are the same that we used in our film classes. The special effects used the imaginary things to make our brain fly into that time, it also put those effects, because those little details are impossible to make and are not real things, and also some parts were dangerous to do, so they used effects.

Prosthetic Make-up

The technique of Prosthetic Make-up is very interesting, because it all beings with a casting, then appear the process of taking the mold of a body part, it is more common a model of the face, this is to use a base for sculpting the prosthetic. The molds are made from skin-safe silicone rubber. This mold is not enough to get a strong mold, that´s why they have to create a plaster or fiberglass bandage to provide support.
When they finished with this part they mold points in the sculpted to make sure that the two molds they created fix perfectly. One they finished with all the molds and sculpture of the face or any part of the body they started to paint the entire make up that in that moment they wanted to put.
Is very important to know how to paint and what colors to used, because it have to seems real in a movie, that´s why every element in the film had to fix. One of the hardest parts of prosthetic make-up is keeping the edges as thin as possible. They have to worry about every little detail to make it perfect in the movie.

Transformers

If we want to talk about a movie that used Visual Effects we can talk about Transformers. This movie had 99% done on computer, when we saw the parts of the Robots all of those scenes were done on computer. The sounds that the robots made were also done by computer. There we small parts in the movie that were done by them, but the rest of the movie was done by the computer. Well, as we can see here the effects that the computer do are very useful when we want to about a fantasy story or some things that are impossible to be shoot. For example the sound bite in Air Force One when he's close up, a couple of little head turns and things like that and when he's walking and prancing, all of that were done by them, not by the computer. So, as we can see there are mixtures of things done by the computer and others by them, this relation and mixture are very important to create the background perfect with the story.

Visual Effect

Visual Effects are the process when the imagery is created. Visual Effects are a mixture of live-action footage and computer generated imagery and this is to create the environment to look close of reality, but this could be very expensive and is impossible to catch it on films, it needs the help of a computer. Also it could create simple things that are visual effects, as we as class did.

There are some visual effects that are divided in four categories:
* Models: Small sets, models and animatronics.
* Matte Paintng: These we are studying right know. Digital or traditional paintings or photographs which are useful as backgrounds.
* Live-action effects: Keying actors or models through blue screening and green screening.
* Digital animation:Modeling, computer graphics lighting, tecturing, rigging, animating, and rendering computer-generated 3D characters, particle effects, digital sets, backgrounds.

The Visual Effects are often used during Post-Production, here is when the computer and the shoots are working together to get the Final Product. In the Post Production the films are edited with the graphic designs, animation and similar software. Also there the editors use special effects that are made on sets.

The Ghost Rider

This movie is very interesting, because it all started with a normal beginning of love story, but at the end the romantic kid make a deal with the devil and all her life ends.
If we focus in the symbols of the movie had great symbols, because the first symbol that appears is the tree that the in love couple had. They met there to talk, but the thing that calls my attention was that the tree was just exactly as the tree of Adam and Eva, and that indicates me that was a prohibited love.
The sets that we can find in this movie are very dark and seem kind scary, but the make-up and the customs are perfect with the scenes.

Filmmaker

The name Filmmaker is also Film Production that is the process of making a movie, clip, film stating with a story idea. People get confuse of the things that the filmmakers captures, they thought that the Filmmaker capture videos, but the truth is that they capture images on film that is very different.

It also has many stages inside this camp as:

· Development (Is when the script is written for a film)
· Pre-Production ( They get prepare to made shoots, where actors are hired, sets are built and locations are selected)
· Production (The few final things of the film are shoot)
· Post-Production ( The film, sound, music are edited, they also put the last effects in the movie)
· Sales and distribution ( The film is distributed to the cinemas and for the home media audience)

Toy Story 3

This movie is something that we never can imagine that would happen, but the effects, script and shots were so good taken that we can feel what a toy feel, and also we can identify with some toy. This is something crazy if we see like that way of toys talking and feeling. There was a part that almost everyone wanna cry or cry, that was when they remember us all the plays that we had in our past when we were children when we played with our toys, and made us feel what our toys feel when we forget them and change them for things that are more important than them. This movie gave us a message that is, that we never had to forget what we were in our past, because we have to be always children. I hope that you have this experience to see this great movie and to know how it ends…

Play with your toys we are children.

Theory of Film

This theory develop he different studies of film as art. Ricciotto Canudo was who created and started all of this theory, the birth of the sixth art. This theory was that as the films were far away from the reality they considered an art. Also, there were people that were against this theory, because they thought that art have do be everything that is real and not that imaginary theory.
In film appear so many theories that we can´t agree with anyone in total, because each theory had something interesting and true. As is normal there in history are people that, because they don´t agree with some parts they put another idea to the innocent people and they as innocent belief everything. Film is something unique, because it gave us more imagination when we see a imaginary movie and also we can feel the fear to happen something like in the movie when is a real movie. We have to believe in our feelings and not the theories that some people have.

new things of film

Dutch tilt

A Dutch tilt is a camera shot in which the camera angle is tilted to one side. This could help for dramatic to create an excellent effect and helps to desperate action.

Pickup Shots
Pickup shots are shots or scenes recorded after principal photography has concluded. This are planned to get a perfect shot.

Criticism

Film criticism is an analysis of different films. There are 2 categories:
· Academic criticism: these are made by film scholars.
· Journalistic criticism: These appear in newspapers and many other Medias on the world. They just have one or two days to make their own opinion about the film.
Criticism has an important impact on films and history, because the directors can used those opinions and for their next movie they can make them better.

We must make a critic for each movie that we see, because there we can help those people that don´t understand the mistakes on the film and the director could do it better. This is a very good way to learn more about films, because here we can analyze each part of the movie and we can focus on the specific details that are important.

iron man Anlanysis

Historical Factors:

Stan Lee had the idea of a businessman superhero. He wanted to create a character that would go against the spirit of the times and Marvel's readership. Iron Man first appeared in 13- to 18-page stories in Tales of Suspense, that were supernatural stories. The character's original costume was a bulky gray armored suit, replaced by a golden version in the second story.

Characters and representation:

· Tony Stark: he is an industrialist ingenious engineer who suffers a severe heart injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit to save his life and escape captivity.
· Pepper Potts: has the unenviable task of keeping billionaire playboy Stark in line in the beginning, and forms the logical counter-argument to Tony's epiphany-driven quest for redemption.

Sound and Music/ Dialogues:
The composer of the music in iron man was Ramin Djawadi. The director, Favreau, clearly focus on "heavy" guitar in the score, and Djawadi composed the music on that instrument before arranging it for orchestra.If we talk about the dialogues there was much improvisation in dialogue scenes, because the script was not completed when filming began. The filmmakers focused on the story making sense and planning the action instead of the script. Favreau acknowledged that improvisation would make the film feel more natural. Some scenes were shot with two cameras to capture lines said on the spot. Multiple takes were done, because Downey wanted to try something new each time. It was Downey's idea to have Stark holds a news conference the floor, and he created the speech Stark makes when demonstrating the Jericho weapon.

Why directors make trailers?

Directors to film a movie they have to sing a lot of papers to make everything legal, and also they have to buy almost everything to make the best movie ever. When directors want to create a perfect movie and to win an award they have to make an excellent trailer, that´s why they make trailers, to make people to see the movie and to tell their friends to see it. If the trailer is good, people will want to see the entire movie. People just take like a picture at the first image that you are and when we talk about movies is the same, if we see for first time a movie or a trailer it must be mysterious, romantic, horrify, etc, to make it interesting and to want to see it. Each director is different and they think different, so for some directors’, trailers aren´t important but for others they are important. A trailer is like a summary of the movie that´s why some directors don´t like that people see trailers because they know everything that would happened in the movie and if they don´t like the trailer they never will see the movie.

Analysis of the movie Valentine´s Day

Narrative and Story:
The story is told by different point of view of different loves and different couples. The movie is clear, because the director make everything in order and clear for us to understand what is happening in the movie.
Characters and representation:
* Liz: She has 2 works. She work as a secretary in an office and she talk with people to entertain them by the phone.

*Morley Clarkson: She at the begging of the movie seems to be a romantic and she will marry with Reed, but then she left the house and returns the ring to Reed.
Lighting, color and shades:
The lights that the director put to film the movie are perfectly used, because we can see the different lights and shades that appear on screen. The colors that the characters used are something that call our attention and made us to be interest in the movie. The director used those colors to make the movie better and to have a point of attention. Also, they put many colors because they wanted to create a place of love.

This movie is very cute, some people said that is boring, but for me was just okay. You must see it….!

Price of Persia:The sands of time.

I want to share my opinion and point of view of the effects of this movie that for me was very interesting. When I first saw this movie I thought that would be with bad effects and with a lot of blood, but when the clock was running the movie was becoming interesting and it was not because the drama, for me was because the many effects that this movie had, and also had a lot of shots. This movie had many effects because it plays with the time. Another thing that I noticed was that when was a battle there was like thousands of soldiers and that was impossible true and my opinion was that there was doubles that when they put the effects they copy and paste the people in the battle. Well I hope that you can see this movie is very interesting in the part of the effects.

Film Production

When we talk about film and shots we must ask some questions to ourselves:

           *What is the best viewpoint for filming this position of the event?

           *How much are should be incluided in this shot?

Well after this questions we have to know 3 definitions:

Scene: efines the place or setting where the action is laid.

Shot: Defines a continuous view filmed by one camera without interuption

Sequence: A series of scene or shot complete in itself.

There are 6 basic shots in film:

1)Extreme Long Shot: Taken at a great distance.

2) Long Shot
:The distance between the audience and the stage in the live theatre

3) Full Shot:
Barely including the whole body

4) Medium Shot:
Knees to waste up

5) Close Up: Concentrates on a relatively small object.

6) Extreme Close-Up:
Might just show eyes or mouth

There are more shots but this 6 are the basic.

Film is not only about shots, it also have types of cameras angles:

Objective: Te audience point view

Subjective: The camera acts as the viewers eyes-movement.

Point of view: What the character is seeing.

Film without all this techniques would be nothing because of this is what makes films interesting.

 

The truth of Forest Gump.-Effects

This is a comedy movie with many effects. This movie had many effects that we already study in class like cutting and many others. In the movie was a part that Forest made very good thing for people so he was recognized by different presidents of the year and he appear in the television, but the truth is that we know that those presidents like kennedy was alive many years ago before Forest was born. They made assembly someone that appear in that period of time that those presidents were alive and put Forest instead of them and made that when the president real talk about any topic put a voice talking like him but with a topic about the movie. Also there was another interesting effect that when Forest appear on television they put the saturation or the opacity almost the same that the real conference of the president of that year had, so they made everything so perfect that we saw it and we believed that he was there, but also in that time that the movie was taken they don’t had the perfect technology to never made a mistake and that someone don’t believed. The instructors or the ones that put all those effects are professional people that know what to do with everything and the actors only had to memorize the script and the ones who made the entire movie are those people of the effects.

Percy Jackson: The lightning thief

 This movie start when his lightning bolt was stolen and Zeus said that Poseidon’s son named Percy Jackson and he gave 10 days to return it otherwise there would be a war.

He went to the Camp Half-Blood and there he knows everything about him ad he decided to go and find the lightning to make peace and get his mother back. He went with his protector and a friend that he finds in the camp. He traveled every place to talk with the Gods and try to convinced them to make peace and that he don’t had the lightning. When they found it they went to Zeus and gave him the lightning and finally Poseidon can talk with his son… What do you think that could be the end? Found it!

Animation

Animation is a technique that frames of film are produced individually. It’s created as a computer graphic or photography or making changes to the first model. After doing all of this the final result is a special animation camera. In animations also appears the persistence of vision when there are many frames and the brain catches this succession like a movement. Animations are expensive to create and produces and these animations are created in professional studios. These animations are cartoons that fist was on movie theaters and then they moved to television. This technique used digital technologies in all their productions.

He's just not that into you

This is a movie about love. It talks about the different types of women to see and feel the love feeling. Some of them had problems in their marriage cause the perfect husband feel attracted by a younger woman and have a secret relationship with she. Other type of problems that some people had are the ones that live many years together but the husband don’t want to get marriage because he had a different kind of thinking of marriage. Other kind women that want to be loved is that she think that men make signals to symbolized he is love on you, but the truth is that we, woman, don’t have to belief everything that a man says because they had their ways to convinced us to belief and trust on them. This movie is about all the different kind of problems in relationships and for me is very interesting, because it talks about the truth of our feelings about a relationship. You must see it…

Creative impact of sound in film

During the 20’s were full of talkies and silent movies because there wasn’t the technology that permits the perfect sound. Also they don’t have the abilities to use the technology advanced. The technology was improving and people started to study how to use the new method. Sounds film gave more genres than the silent films. It had more advantage technologic and people more sophisticated working for them. The first classic style Hollywood musical was The Broadway Melody in 1929. In many countries musical films started to appear creating many different forms of films like comedy, horror, gothic, etc. American movies started to became popular having a lot of dialog and songs. Cartoon appeared in 1937 with the fist English-speaking animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This period of years was a major year for America.

Fireproof

This is a movie about a couple that had a lot of problems. Caleb, the husband, was a hero because he was a fireman and the objective of him was to save people even though he had to risk his life. He had two different kind of life in each day. In his work he save people and risk it everything for them, but in his home he always fight with his wife, Catherine. One day they realized that they can’t support their relationship anymore and Catherine told him to broke up. Both were decided to finish that relation. Caleb’s father, John, decided to present to his son a 40-Day experiment called "Te Love Dare" that he and his mother did. At fist impression of Caleb was negative but then he let his father convinced him and he decided to do the experiment. Catherine was brave to rejected the many things that Caleb was doing like giving flowers, chocolates and the most important give that he gave to she was paying a chair that Catherine was paying little by little for her mom that was sick. The experiment at the beginning was going bad, but then finally Catherine was convinced that her husband was changing and was for her. Caleb found peace and answers when his dad told him to talk to God, because he is the only one who can help people like that. He started praying and little by little the things were going better. Finally, both noticed that they need each other and the only thing that was missing was believed in them. For me this is a great movie, because we can noticed that even the most strong and brave man like a fireman need some help in some cases and also it reflect to us the feelings that those people had. A couple is a beautiful feeling that when they forget about loving and making things to represent the love the things will going down. So, if you love someone you must demonstrate all the love that you had.

Thin Film Technology

Thin Film Technology utilizes thin film processes to build passive components used in data-communication, medical, computer, test equipment, power supplies, and automotive markets. TFT's wide variety of products include; termination networks, precision resistors, low pass & high pass filters, inductors, capacitors and delay lines. TFT's products are utilized in applications ranging from signal conditioning, compensation networks, equalization & de-emphasis, timing & deskew, to a myriad of other applications. Precision resistors hold tight resistance tolerances over life in addition to having low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) for maintaining their designed value. Gain equalizers and filters flatten the frequency response of transmission lines. Delay lines control sub-nanosecond timing & deskew issues while maintaining signal fidelity in the time domain. In Film we can noticed that there is important many things that maybe we don´t know that exist, because is all about technology and that is not interesting for us. It have a hole company that takes care of that part of film. As we know, technology is the base of film because without it we can see anything in movement that film transmitte to us. So, this company is very important of everything that talk about of films,movies,pictures,etc.

In this movie we can noticed that true love is in everywhere, we can find it even though we are in our worst problems, but what we have to do is to be secured of every step you are going to take because that can be a little thig that will change for complete your life. Also we can said that if we love someone very very much it doesn´t care if you are in the other part of the world because you trust to him/her and your love can make everything... What do you think about this?

History of film

The history of film 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.

Precursors of film

Plays and dances had elements common to films- scripts, sets, lighting, costumes, production, direction, actors, audiences, storyboards, and scores. They preceded film by thousands of years. Much terminology later used in film theory and criticism applied, such as mise en scène. Moving visual images and sounds were not recorded for replaying as in film.The camera obscura was pioneered by Alhazen in his Book of Optics and was later perfected near the year 1600 by Giambattista della Porta. Light is inverted through a small hole or lens from outside, and projected onto a surface or screen, creating a projected moving image, indistinguishable from a projected high quality film to an audience, but it is not preserved in a recording.In 1740 and 1748, David Hume published Treatise of Human Nature and An Enj bvb uiry concerning Human Understanding, arguing for the associations and causes of ideas with visual images, in some sense forerunners to the language of film.Moving images were produced on revolving drums and disks in the 1830s with independent invention by Simon von Stampfer (Stroboscope) in Austria, Joseph Plateau (Phenakistoscope) in Belgium and William Horner (zoetrope) in Britain.

The silent era

In the silent era of film, marrying the image with synchronous sound was not possible for inventors and producers, since no practical method was devised until 1923. Thus, for the first thirty years of their history, movies were silent, although accompanied by live musicians and sometimes sound effects and even commentary spoken by the showman or projectionist.Illustrated songs were a notable exception to this trend that began in 1894 in vaudeville houses and persisted as late as the late 1930s in movie theaters. In this early precursor to the music video, live performance or sound recordings were paired with hand-colored glass slides projected through stereopticons and similar devices. In this way, song narrative was illustrated through a series of slides whose changes were simultaneous with the narrative development. The main purpose of illustrated songs was to encourage sheet music sales, and they were highly successful with sales reaching into the millions for a single song. Later, with the birth of film, illustrated songs were used as filler material preceding films and during reel changes.In most countries the need for spoken accompaniment quickly faded, with dialogue and narrcmcjnnation presented in intertitles, but in Japanese cinema it remained popular throughout the silent era.

The Major Film Studios: The Big Five

1920-1930 was the decade between the end of the Great War and the Depression following the Stock Market Crash. Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929. The basic patterns and foundations of the film industry (and its economic organization) were established in the 1920s. The studio system was essentially born with long-term contracts for stars, lavish production values, and increasingly rigid control of directors and stars by the studio's production chief and in-house publicity departments. After World War I and into the early 1920s, America was the leading producer of films in the world - using Thomas Ince's "factory system" of production, although the system did limit the creativity of many directors. Production was in the hands of the major studios (that really flourished after 1927 for almost 20 years), and the star system was burgeoning.
Originally, in the earliest years of the motion picture industry, production, distribution, and exhibition were separately controlled. When the industry rapidly grew, these functions became integrated under one directorship to maximize profits, something called vertical integration. There were eight major (and minor) studios (see below) that dominated the industry. They were the ones that had most successfully consolidated and integrated all aspects of a film's development. By 1929, the film-making firms that were to rule and monopolize Hollywood for the next half-century were the giants or the majors, sometimes dubbed The Big Five. They produced more than 90 percent of the fiction films in America and distributed their films both nationally and internationally. Each studio somewhat differentiated its products from other studios.

Dear John

Hello my friends. Today I want to tell you about a beautiful movie that I saw 2 months ago. It's called "Dear John". Well it is about a soldier named, John Tyree, that when he saw Savannah Curtis, a college girl, for his first time in the beach both fall in love. John will only stayed with Savvannah for the spring break becuase he had to go to a war. When they were separated they communicated by letters and that gave John the force to fight and saw Savvannah again. They were completely in love that the distance didn't matter for them. But suddenly something terrible happened, Savvannah wrote in a letter that she couldn't continue writing, so she decided to marry someone that was very closed to her. That letter was the last John received. The years passed quickly and John and Savvannah saw each other again, they started to talk about everything that happened and became friends. After that they returned to send letters again. Well, we all know the ending because is obviously that was a happy ending, but if you want to know how it ends you can watch the movie or the synopsis to know more about this great movie. For me this was the most romantic movie I have ever sawn, because was a mixture of everything like war, love, letters, death and many other topics that are very interesting. If you have any doubt or want to know more about this movie you can ask me any question. I hope you enjoy this synopsis written from me!
