With the development of celluloid film for still photography, it became possible to directly capture objects in motion in real time. Early versions of the technology sometimes required a person to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were separate paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank. The Sad Movie Quotes pictures were shown at a variable speed of about 5 to 10 pictures per second depending on how rapidly the crank was turned. Some of these machines were coin operated. By the 1880s, the development of the motion picture camera allowed the individual component images to be captured and stored on a single reel, and led quickly Sad Movie Quotes to the development of a motion picture Sad Movie Quotes projector to shine light through the processed and printed Sad Movie Quotes film and magnify these "moving picture shows" onto a screen Sad Movie Quotes for Sad Movie Quotes an entire audience. These reels, so exhibited, came to be known as "motion pictures". Early motion pictures were static shots that showed an event Sad Movie Quotes or action with no editing or other cinematic Sad Movie Quotes techniques.
Ignoring Dickson's early sound experiments (1894), commercial motion pictures were purely visual art through the late 19th century, but these innovative silent films had gained a Sad Movie Quotes hold on the public imagination. Around the Sad Movie Quotes turn of the twentieth century, films began developing a narrative structure by stringing scenes together to tell narratives. The scenes were later Sad Movie Quotes broken up into Sad Movie Quotes multiple shots of varying sizes and angles. Other techniques such as camera movement were realized as effective ways to portray a story on film. Rather Sad Movie Quotes than leave the Sad Movie Quotes audience in silence, theater owners would hire a pianist or organist or a full Sad Movie Quotes orchestra to play music fitting the mood of the film Sad Movie Quotes at Sad Movie Quotes any given moment. Sad Movie Quotes By Sad Movie Quotes the early 1920s, most films came Sad Movie Quotes with a prepared Sad Movie Quotes list of sheet music Sad Movie Quotes for this purpose, with complete film Sad Movie Quotes scores being composed for major productions.

The rise of European cinema was interrupted by the breakout of World War I Sad Movie Quotes while the film industry in United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood. However in the 1920s, European filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, F. W. Murnau, and Deliverence Movie Fritz Lang, along with American innovator D. W. Griffith and the contributions of Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton and others, continued to advance the medium. In the 1920s, new Sad Movie Quotes technology allowed filmmakers to attach to Sad Movie Quotes each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchronized with the action on the screen. Sad Movie Quotes These sound films were initially distinguished by calling them "talking pictures", Sad Movie Quotes or talkies.
The next major step in the development of Sad Movie Quotes cinema was the introduction of so-called "natural" color. While the addition of sound Sad Movie Quotes quickly eclipsed silent film and Sad Movie Quotes theater musicians, color was adopted more gradually as methods evolved making it more practical and cost effective to produce "natural color" films. The public was relatively indifferent to color photography as opposed to black-and-white,[citation needed] but as color processes improved Sad Movie Quotes and became as affordable as black-and-white film, more and more movies were filmed in color after Sad Movie Quotes the end of World War II, as the Sad Movie Quotes industry in America came to view color Sad Movie Quotes as essential to attracting audiences in its competition with television, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-1960s.

Theory
Main article: Film theory
Film theory seeks to Sad Movie Quotes Patricia Cornwell Movie develop concise and systematic concepts that apply to the study of film as art. It was started by Ricciotto Canudo's The Sad Movie Quotes Birth of Sad Movie Quotes the Sixth Art. Formalist film theory, led Sad Movie Quotes by Rudolf Sad Movie Quotes Arnheim, Bela Balazs, and Siegfried Kracauer, emphasized Sad Movie Quotes how film differed from reality, and thus could be considered a valid fine art. Andre Bazin reacted against this theory by arguing that Sad Movie Quotes film's artistic essence lay in its ability to mechanically reproduce reality not in its Sad Movie Quotes differences from Sad Movie Quotes reality, and this gave rise to realist theory. Sad Movie Quotes More recent analysis spurred by Lacan's psychoanalysis and Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotics among Sad Movie Quotes other things has given rise to psychoanalytical film theory, structuralist film theory, feminist film theory and others.
Criticism
Main article: Film criticism
Film criticism is the analysis and evaluation of films. In general, these works can be divided into two categories: academic criticism by Sad Movie Quotes film scholars Sad Movie Quotes and journalistic film criticism that appears regularly in newspapers and other media.
Film critics working for newspapers, magazines, and Sad Movie Quotes broadcast media mainly review new releases. Normally they only see any given film once and have only a day or two Sad Movie Quotes to formulate opinions. Despite this, critics have Sad Movie Quotes an important impact on films, especially those of certain genres. Mass marketed action, horror, Sad Movie Quotes and comedy films tend not to be greatly affected by a critic's overall judgment of a film. The plot summary and description of a film that makes up the majority of Sad Movie Quotes any film review can still have an important impact on whether Sad Movie Quotes people decide to see a Sad Movie Quotes film. For prestige films such Sad Movie Quotes as most dramas, the influence of reviews is extremely important. Poor reviews will often doom a film to obscurity and financial loss.
The impact of a reviewer on a given film's box office performance is a matter of debate. Some claim Sad Movie Quotes that movie marketing is now so intense and well financed that reviewers cannot make an impact against Sad Movie Quotes it. However, the Sad Movie Quotes cataclysmic failure of some heavily-promoted movies which were harshly reviewed, as well as the unexpected success of critically praised independent movies indicates that extreme critical reactions can have considerable influence. Others Sad Movie Quotes note Sad Movie Quotes that positive film reviews have been shown Sad Movie Quotes to spark Sad Movie Quotes interest in little-known films. Conversely, there have been several films in which film Sad Movie Quotes companies have so little confidence that Sad Movie Quotes they refuse to Sad Movie Quotes give reviewers an advanced viewing to avoid widespread panning of the film. However, this usually backfires as Sad Movie Quotes reviewers are wise to the tactic and warn the public that the film may not be worth seeing and the films often do Sad Movie Quotes poorly as a result.
It is argued that journalist film critics should only be known as film reviewers, and Sad Movie Quotes true film critics Sad Movie Quotes are those who take a more academic Sad Movie Quotes approach to films. This Sad Movie Quotes line of work Sad Movie Quotes is more often known as film theory or film studies. These Sad Movie Quotes film critics Sad Movie Quotes attempt Sad Movie Quotes to come to understand how film and Sad Movie Quotes filming techniques work, and what effect they have on Sad Movie Quotes people. Rather than having their works published in newspapers or appear on television, their articles are published in scholarly journals, or sometimes in up-market magazines. They also tend Sad Movie Quotes to be affiliated Sad Movie Quotes with colleges or universities.
Industry

The Sad Movie Quotes making and showing of motion Sad Movie Quotes pictures became a source of profit almost as soon as the process was invented. Upon seeing how successful their new invention, and its product, was in their native France, the Lumieres Sad Movie Quotes quickly set about touring the Continent to exhibit the first films privately to royalty and publicly to the masses. In each country, they would normally add new, local scenes to their catalogue Sad Movie Quotes and, quickly enough, Sad Movie Quotes found The Dreamers Movie local entrepreneurs in the various countries of Europe to buy their equipment and photograph, export, import and screen additional Sad Movie Quotes product commercially.

Trailer
Main article: Trailer (film)
Trailers or previews are film advertisements for films Sad Movie Quotes that Sad Movie Quotes will Sad Movie Quotes be Sad Movie Quotes exhibited in the future at a cinema, on whose screen they are shown. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a film programme. That practice did not Sad Movie Quotes last Sad Movie Quotes long, because patrons tended to leave the Sad Movie Quotes theater after the films ended, but the name has stuck. Trailers are now shown before the film (or the A Sad Movie Quotes movie in Sad Movie Quotes a double feature program) begins.
The nature of the film determines the size and type of crew required during filmmaking. Many Hollywood adventure films need computer generated imagery (CGI), created by Sad Movie Quotes dozens of 3D modellers, animators, rotoscopers and compositors. However, a low-budget, independent film may be made with a Sad Movie Quotes skeleton crew, often paid very little. Also, an open source film Sad Movie Quotes may be produced through open, collaborative processes. Filmmaking takes place all over the world using different technologies, styles of acting and genre, and is produced in a variety of economic contexts that range from state-sponsored documentary in China Sad Movie Quotes Ratatolli Movie Times to profit-oriented movie making within the American studio system.
This production cycle typically takes three years. The first year is taken Sad Movie Quotes up with Sad Movie Quotes development. Best Movie Musicals The Sad Movie Quotes second year comprises preproduction and production. The third year, post-production Sad Movie Quotes and distribution.
Crew
Main article: Film crew
A film crew is a group of people Sad Movie Quotes hired by a film company, employed during the "production" or "photography" phase, for the purpose of producing a film or motion picture. Crew are distinguished from cast, the actors who appear in front of Sad Movie Quotes the camera or provide Sad Movie Quotes voices for characters in the film. The crew interacts with but is also distinct from the production staff, consisting Sad Movie Quotes of producers, managers, company representatives, their assistants, and those whose primary responsibility falls in pre-production or post-production phases, such as writers and editors. Communication between production and crew generally passes through the director and his/her staff of assistants. Medium-to-large crews are Sad Movie Quotes generally divided into departments with well defined hierarchies Sad Movie Quotes and standards for interaction and cooperation Sad Movie Quotes between the departments. Other than Sad Movie Quotes acting, the crew handles everything Sad Movie Quotes in Sad Movie Quotes the photography phase: props and costumes, shooting, sound, electrics (i.e., lights), sets, and production special Sad Movie Quotes effects. Caterers (known in the film industry Sad Movie Quotes as "craft services") are usually not considered part of the crew.
Technology
Film stock consists of transparent celluloid, Sad Movie Quotes acetate, or polyester base coated with an Sad Movie Quotes emulsion containing light-sensitive chemicals. Cellulose nitrate was the first type of film base used to record motion pictures, but due to its flammability Sad Movie Quotes was eventually replaced by safer materials. Stock widths and the film format for images on the reel have had a rich history, though most large commercial films are still shot on (and distributed to Sad Movie Quotes theaters) as 35 mm prints.
Originally moving picture film was shot and projected at various speeds using Sad Movie Quotes hand-cranked cameras and projectors; though 1000 frames per minute (16? frame/s) is generally cited as a standard silent speed, research indicates most films were shot between 16 frame/s and 23 frame/s and projected from 18 frame/s on up (often reels included instructions on how fast each scene should be shown) [1]. When sound film was Sad Movie Quotes introduced in the late 1920s, a constant speed was required for the sound head. 24 frames per second was chosen because it was the slowest (and thus cheapest) speed which allowed for Sad Movie Quotes sufficient sound quality. Improvements since the late 19th Sad Movie Quotes century include the mechanization of Sad Movie Quotes cameras � Sad Movie Quotes allowing them to record at a consistent Sad Movie Quotes speed, American Pie Movie Download quiet camera design � allowing sound recorded on-set to be usable Sad Movie Quotes without requiring large "blimps" to encase the camera, the invention of Sad Movie Quotes more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of Sad Movie Quotes synchronized sound, allowing Sad Movie Quotes sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its Sad Movie Quotes corresponding action. The soundtrack can be recorded separately from shooting the film, but Sad Movie Quotes for Sad Movie Quotes live-action pictures many Sad Movie Quotes parts of Sad Movie Quotes the soundtrack are usually recorded simultaneously.
As a medium, film is not limited to motion pictures, since the technology Sad Movie Quotes developed as the basis for photography. It can be used to present a progressive sequence Sad Movie Quotes of still images in the form Sad Movie Quotes of a Sad Movie Quotes slideshow. Film has Sad Movie Quotes also been incorporated into multimedia presentations, and often has importance Sad Movie Quotes as Sad Movie Quotes primary historical documentation. However, historic films have problems in terms of preservation Sad Movie Quotes and storage, Sad Movie Quotes and the motion Sad Movie Quotes picture industry Sad Movie Quotes is exploring many alternatives. Most movies on Sad Movie Quotes cellulose nitrate base Sad Movie Quotes have been copied onto Sad Movie Quotes modern safety films. Some studios save color films through the use of separation masters � three Sad Movie Quotes B&W negatives each exposed through red, green, or blue filters (essentially a reverse of the Technicolor process). Digital methods have also been used to Sad Movie Quotes restore films, although their continued obsolescence cycle makes them (as of 2006) a poor choice for long-term preservation. Film preservation of decaying film stock is a matter of Sad Movie Quotes concern to both Sad Movie Quotes film Sad Movie Quotes historians and archivists, and to companies Sad Movie Quotes interested in preserving Sad Movie Quotes their existing products in order to make them available to future Sad Movie Quotes generations (and thereby increase revenue). Preservation is generally Sad Movie Quotes a higher-concern for nitrate and single-strip color films, due to Sad Movie Quotes their high decay rates; black and Sad Movie Quotes white films on safety bases and color films preserved on Technicolor imbibition prints tend to keep up much better, assuming proper handling and Sad Movie Quotes storage.
Some films in Sad Movie Quotes recent decades have been recorded using analog video technology similar to that used in television production. Modern Sad Movie Quotes digital video cameras and digital projectors are gaining ground as well. These approaches are extremely beneficial to moviemakers, especially because Sad Movie Quotes footage can be evaluated and edited without waiting for the film stock to be processed. Yet the migration is gradual, and as of 2005 Sad Movie Quotes most major motion pictures are still recorded on film.
Independent

The Sad Movie Quotes Lumiere Brothers
Independent filmmaking Sad Movie Quotes often takes place outside of Hollywood, or other major studio systems. An independent film (or indie film) Sad Movie Quotes is a film initially produced without financing or distribution from a major movie studio. Creative, business, and technological reasons have all contributed to the growth of the indie film scene in the late 20th and early 21st century.
On the business side, the costs of Sad Movie Quotes big-budget studio films also leads to conservative choices in Sad Movie Quotes cast and crew. There is a trend Sad Movie Quotes in Hollywood towards co-financing (over two-thirds of the films put Sad Movie Quotes out by Warner Bros. in 2000 were joint ventures, up from 10% in 1987).[2] A hopeful Sad Movie Quotes director is almost never Sad Movie Quotes given the opportunity to get Sad Movie Quotes a job on a big-budget studio Sad Movie Quotes film unless he or she has significant industry experience in film or television. Also, the studios rarely produce films with unknown actors, particularly Sad Movie Quotes in lead roles.
Before the advent of digital alternatives, the Sad Movie Quotes cost of professional film equipment and stock was also a hurdle to being Sad Movie Quotes able to produce, direct, or Sad Movie Quotes star Sad Movie Quotes in a traditional studio film. The Sad Movie Quotes cost of 35 mm Sad Movie Quotes film is outpacing inflation: in 2002 alone, film negative costs were up 23%, according to Variety.[2].
But the advent of consumer camcorders in 1985, and Sad Movie Quotes more importantly, the arrival of high-resolution digital video in the early 1990s, have lowered the technology barrier to movie production significantly. Both production and post-production costs have been significantly lowered; today, the hardware and software for post-production can be installed in a commodity-based personal computer. Technologies such as DVDs, FireWire connections and non-linear editing system pro-level software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and Apple's Sad Movie Quotes Final Cut Pro, and consumer level software such as Apple's Final Cut Express and Sad Movie Quotes iMovie make movie-making relatively inexpensive.

Since the introduction of DV technology, the means of production have become more democratized. Filmmakers can conceivably shoot and edit a movie, Sad Movie Quotes create and edit the sound and music, and mix the final cut on Sad Movie Quotes a home computer. However, Sad Movie Quotes while the means of production Sad Movie Quotes may be Sad Movie Quotes democratized, financing, distribution, and marketing remain difficult to accomplish Sad Movie Quotes outside the traditional system. Sad Movie Quotes Most independent filmmakers rely on film festivals to get their films noticed and sold for distribution. The arrival of internet-based video outlets such as YouTube and Veoh has further changed the film making landscape in ways that are Sad Movie Quotes still to be determined.
Open content film

An open content Sad Movie Quotes film is much like an independent film, Sad Movie Quotes but it is produced through open collaborations; its source material is available under a license which Sad Movie Quotes is permissive enough to allow other parties to create fan fiction or derivative works, than a traditional copyright. Like independent filmmaking, open source filmmaking takes place outside of Hollywood, or other major studio systems.
Fan film
Main article: Fan film
A fan film is a film or video inspired by a film, television program, comic book or Sad Movie Quotes a similar source, created by fans rather than by the source's copyright holders or creators. Fan filmmakers have traditionally been amateurs, but some of the more notable films have actually been produced by professional filmmakers as film school class projects or as demonstration reels. Fan films vary Sad Movie Quotes tremendously in length, from short faux-teaser trailers for non-existent motion pictures to Sad Movie Quotes rarer full-length motion pictures
Animation is the technique in which each frame of a film is produced individually, whether generated as a Sad Movie Quotes computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model unit (see claymation and Sad Movie Quotes stop Sad Movie Quotes motion), and then photographing the result Sad Movie Quotes with a special animation camera. Sad Movie Quotes When the frames are strung together and the resulting film Sad Movie Quotes is viewed at a speed of 16 or more frames per second, there is an illusion of continuous movement (due to the persistence Sad Movie Quotes of vision). Generating such a film Sad Movie Quotes is very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly sped up the process.
File formats like Sad Movie Quotes GIF, QuickTime, Shockwave and Sad Movie Quotes Flash allow animation to Sad Movie Quotes be viewed on a computer or Sad Movie Quotes over the Internet.
Because animation is very time-consuming and often very expensive to produce, the majority of animation for TV and movies comes from professional animation studios. However, Sad Movie Quotes the field of independent animation has existed at least since the 1950s, with Sad Movie Quotes animation being produced by independent studios (and Sad Movie Quotes sometimes by a Movie Filesharing single person). Several independent animation producers have Sad Movie Quotes gone Sad Movie Quotes on to enter the professional animation industry.
Limited animation is a way of increasing production and decreasing Sad Movie Quotes costs of animation by Sad Movie Quotes using "short cuts" in Sad Movie Quotes the animation process. This method was pioneered by UPA Sad Movie Quotes and popularized by Hanna-Barbera, and Sad Movie Quotes adapted by other studios as cartoons moved from movie theaters to television.[3]
Although most animation studios are now using digital technologies in their Sad Movie Quotes productions, there is a specific style of animation that depends on film. Cameraless animation, made famous by moviemakers like Norman McLaren, Len Lye and Stan Sad Movie Quotes Brakhage, is painted Sad Movie Quotes and drawn directly Sad Movie Quotes onto pieces of Sad Movie Quotes film, and then run through a projector.
Venues
When it is initially produced, a feature film is often shown to audiences in a movie theater or cinema. The Sad Movie Quotes first theater designed exclusively for cinema opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1905.[4] Sad Movie Quotes Thousands of such theaters were built or converted from existing facilities within a few years.[5] In the United States, these Sad Movie Quotes theaters came to be known Sad Movie Quotes as nickelodeons, Sad Movie Quotes because admission typically cost a nickel (five cents).
Typically, one film is the featured presentation (or feature film). Before the 1970s, there were "double features"; typically, a high quality "A picture" rented by Sad Movie Quotes an independent theater for a lump sum, and a "B picture" of lower quality rented Sad Movie Quotes for a percentage of the gross receipts. Today, the bulk of the material shown before the feature film consists Sad Movie Quotes of previews for upcoming movies and paid Sad Movie Quotes advertisements (also Sad Movie Quotes known as trailers Sad Movie Quotes or "The Sad Movie Quotes Twenty").
Historically, all mass marketed feature films were made to be shown in movie theaters. The development of television Sad Movie Quotes has allowed films to be broadcast to larger audiences, usually after Sad Movie Quotes the film is no longer being shown in theaters. Recording technology has also enabled Sad Movie Quotes consumers Sad Movie Quotes to rent or buy copies of films Sad Movie Quotes on VHS or DVD (and the older formats of Sad Movie Quotes laserdisc, VCD and SelectaVision � see also videodisc), and Internet downloads may be available and have started to become revenue sources for the Sad Movie Quotes film companies. Some films are now made specifically for these other Sad Movie Quotes venues, being released as made-for-TV movies or Sad Movie Quotes direct-to-video Sad Movie Quotes movies. The production values on these films Sad Movie Quotes are often considered to be of inferior quality compared to theatrical releases in Sad Movie Quotes similar genres, and indeed, some Sad Movie Quotes films that are rejected by their own studios upon completion are distributed through these markets.
The movie theater pays an average of about 50-55% of Sad Movie Quotes its ticket sales to the movie studio, as film rental fees.[6] The actual percentage starts with a number higher than that, and decreases as the duration of a film's showing continues, as an incentive to theaters to keep movies in the theater longer. However, today's barrage of highly marketed movies ensures that most movies are shown in first-run theaters for less than 8 weeks. There are a few Sad Movie Quotes movies every year that defy this rule, Sad Movie Quotes often limited-release movies that start in only a few theaters and actually grow their theater count through good Movie Upload Sites word-of-mouth and reviews. According to a 2000 study by Sad Movie Quotes ABN AMRO, about 26% of Hollywood movie studios' worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46% came from VHS and DVD sales to U2 Rattle And Hum Movie consumers; and 28% came Sad Movie Quotes from television (broadcast, cable, and pay-per-view).[6]
Future state
While motion Sad Movie Quotes picture films have been around for more than a century, film Sad Movie Quotes is still a relative newcomer in the pantheon of fine arts. In the 1950s, when television became widely available, industry analysts predicted the demise of local movie theaters. Despite competition from television's Sad Movie Quotes increasing technological sophistication over the 1960s and 1970s, such as the development Sad Movie Quotes of color television and large screens, motion Sad Movie Quotes picture cinemas continued. Movie Clips Of Naked Women In the 1980s, when the widespread availability of inexpensive videocassette recorders enabled people to select Sad Movie Quotes films for home viewing, industry analysts again wrongly Sad Movie Quotes predicted the death of the local cinemas.
In the 1990s and 2000s the development of digital DVD players, home theater amplification systems with surround sound and subwoofers, and large LCD or plasma screens Sad Movie Quotes enabled people to select and Sad Movie Quotes view films at home Sad Movie Quotes with greatly improved audio and visual Sad Movie Quotes reproduction. These new technologies provided audio and visual that in Sad Movie Quotes the past only local cinemas had been able to provide: a large, Sad Movie Quotes clear widescreen presentation Sad Movie Quotes of a film with a full-range, high-quality multi-speaker sound system. Once again industry analysts predicted the demise of the local cinema. Local cinemas will be changing in the 2000s and moving towards digital screens, a new approach which will allow Sad Movie Quotes for easier and Sad Movie Quotes quicker Sad Movie Quotes distribution of films (via satellite or hard disks), a development which Sad Movie Quotes may give local theaters a reprieve from their predicted demise.
The cinema now faces a new challenge from home video by the likes of a new DVD format Blu-ray, which can provide full HD 1080p Sad Movie Quotes video playback Sad Movie Quotes at Sad Movie Quotes near cinema quality. Video formats are gradually catching up with the Sad Movie Quotes resolutions and quality that film Sad Movie Quotes offers, 1080p in Blu-ray offers a pixel resolution of 1920?1080 a Sad Movie Quotes leap from the DVD offering of 720?480 and Sad Movie Quotes the paltry 330?480 offered by the first home video standard VHS. The maximum resolutions that film currently offers are 2485?2970 Sad Movie Quotes or 1420?3390, UHD, a future digital video format, will offer a massive resolution of 7680?4320, surpassing all current film resolutions. The only viable competitor to Sad Movie Quotes these new innovations is IMAX which can play film content at an extreme 10000?7000 resolution.
Despite the rise of all new technologies, the development of the home video market and a surge of online piracy, 2007 was a record year in film that showed the highest ever box-office grosses. Many expected film to suffer as a result of the effects listed above Sad Movie Quotes but it has flourished, strengthening film studio expectations for the future. |
