Show, not tell. 
Film is a visual medium.  Don't explain everything about the characters and the story, show it.

* Think of an example with the person next to you. 

An example from 4th period: Instead of someone saying that they got a haircut, show them walking into a barber shop with long hair and then walking out with a new short cut.

You can also show a side of the character's personality.  Instead of the character saying that his life fell apart when his wife left him, show him looking slovenly, depressed, a stack of unpaid bills on the counter, dirty laundry and dishes strewn around, etc.

Notes for Video- Early Film History Sept. 23, 2010

c. 1877- Eadward Muybridge- "The Father of Film"
Muybridge is hired to settle a bet whether or not a galloping horse has all four feet off the ground.  He sets up 20 photograph cameras (like the Matrix) and shoots sequential photographs of a horse in motion.  They win the bet.

The zoetrope-

An optical toy to view "moving" pictures.  The viewer looks through the slits and spins the cylinder.  Each frame is slightly different and the image seems to move.

The kinetoscope- Developed by Edison using a flexible film invented by George Eastman.  The strip of film winds around rollers and gears in front of a lens.  This was the next step to a projector.

The Black Maria-  The first film studio- built by Edison.  The building is on a turntable so it can be rotated for the best sunlight (coming in through a window in the roof).  The camera and operator are in the cubicle on the right and the performers would be in the bigger section near the wall.

The Lumiere brothers-  Made the first motion picture to be shown to a paying audience.  They commonly made films of everyday life.  They also made the first newsreels.

"The Kiss" 1896- released by Edison

Shocking to audiences used to seeing actors on a stage, this is one long medium shot.  Audiences also were shocked by the subject matter- a very long kiss.

 1902- Georges Melies- A Trip to the Moon
-The first film with a story
-The first sci-fi film
-First special effects and transitions- fade outs, dissolves, double exposures
-First time for film pirating
