During the 1950s, television turned into a viable promoting medium. With home and television, the auto turned out to be a piece of the “standard customer bundle” of the 1950s. TV sets travel through a sequential construction system. TV started to develop and get high number appraisals as the years went on. In the 1950s the ratings hours were seen at 4 hours and 36 minutes, in the 1960s it was seen at 5 hours and 6 minutes, and in the 70s it was seen at 5 hours and 54 minutes.…
Film Noir includes dark, suspense-filled and thrilling mysteries. They are usually ambiguous, pessimistic and emphasize the isolated feel of the modern cities. The usage of low-key lighting and dark colors to create high contrast on screen is very common. Low-angle shots and Dutch camera angles, which are shot with tilted camera angles, are used to portray tension. Instead of showing a person directly, they commonly used disorientation and showed people reflected in a mirror.…
In the “Little Rock Girl 1957” it says on page 15 “Equal means getting the same thing, at the same time, and in the same place.” What does this quote mean to you? In the 1950’s the Civil Rights movement was at it’s worst. In the early 1950’s the Brown v Board of Education court case threatened to segregate schools so whites and blacks would be separated. The media illuminated events by broadcasting the news with TV, radio, photos, and newspaper to attract a national audience.…
I think a significant social trend would be the growth of films in the 1920’s. This is where sound in films was introduced to the world for the first time from a film presented as talkies like “The Jazz Singer.” Some key film genres also came to flourish during the decade like horror and romantic comedies. With the introducing of sound in films the concept of the movie appeared immediately. Before sound was introduced silent films were played with music when it was projected in the theater.…

The decade of the 1950s saw the film business create a few religious movies which pulled in substantial groups of onlookers and wide-spread attention. The considerable religious enthusiasm of the decade recommended an instant group of onlookers for such films as Hollywood confronted the increased financial risk and developing rivalry of TV. Verifiable blockbusters appeared on widescreens in vivid colors that the little, highly contrasting TV sets of the time couldn't match, should confirm the motion picture industry's motto that "films are better than anyone might have expected". (Baughman…

Drive-In Movies Drive-in movie theaters were created in 1933 by a man called Richard Hollingshead. He opened his first theater for cars in Camden, New Jersey. Drive-in movies are a space where cars can park and there is a movie showing on a large white screen. In some drive-ins there were a specific order of cars, so that all the cars could fit in the parking lot. To add effect, the owners of the drive-ins would put sprinklers around the screen to show rain.…

Televisions affected our grandparents’ time in the 1950s As the world is getting more developed day by day, we can not imagine how different our lives would be without Iphones or Netflix. As people seek new innovations, products that were previously attractive became obsolete. For example, many people nowadays would prefer to watch Netflix on their Macbook rather than watching shows on televisions. Televisions used to be an important part of people’s lives. The 1950s were considered the Golden Age of television.…
Buster Keaton and the decline of the silent film era 1 Silent Films Introduction. The mental image that many people have of a silent film is of a simple, black and white film, perhaps grainy and distorted in image, depicting a time long gone. With modern, dialogue driven narratives in film, it is easy to forget that dialogue is not the only way to drive a story, dialogue does not necessarily need to be spoken out loud in order to be effective, and that many actors had built careers out of silent films- careers that came to be in peril with the addition of sound to film. Accompanying Music and Sound Effects.…
Silent movies were a great source of entertainment during the early 1900s, but when sound was added the film industry was revolutionized. It only took two years after The Jazz Singer, the first film with spoken lines, for the silent film era to end. It showed the viewers that there was no reason for silent movies. Big names in silent film making, like Charlie Chaplin, thought “talkies” ruined the film industry. Sound changed the way we watch movies for the better.…
The 1920s was a time of political, social and economic change. It was an era of prosperity, however not long lasting as the Great Depression of 1929 loomed. Frivolity, fun and the flapper emerged as people discovered new ways to spend their newly found leisure time. The United States entered a time of good feeling and even the introduction of prohibition did not inhibit people from having a good time. America had become a consumer society due to newly found affluence and with this came mass culture.…
Moving on to the era of silent films which extends from the late nineteenth century, with the earliest work by the Lumière Brothers in France and Edison in America acts became much bigger, crazier and widely spread. Here to clowning had moved over and become big in the silent films. One such name that rose to the top during this era is Charlie Chaplin who took the world by storm with his slapstick comedy. During the Silent movie era, comedy was big and people loved it because it was slapstick comedy which is exaggerated physical comedy and sight gags. People liked watching this because they enjoyed seeing comedians pushing the boundaries such as jumping off moving trains or falling from moving cars and this was during an era, before CGI was a thing like it is now, so these amazing performances were done in real-time, but the people who did this need to have safe planning on how it will be done, great amounts of physical skill, and lots of courage.…
