It seemed that animation had begun to move away from the notion that it could only be used as a form of entertainment. It was now being utilized for its ability to convey information. Delgaudio (1997) claims that animations were effectively filling this role because they are watched more attentively than live action film or lectures.…

Two of Buster Keaton's films “Sherlock Jr“ and “ Steamboat Bill Jr” both use fantastic uses of special effects. For instance, Buster Keaton screened a movie within his movie which back then probably took a lot of technology to edit that into the screen in the movie “ Sherlock Jr”. Furthermore, another one of Keaton's great examples of using technology is when he used the special matte box in front of the camera lense to display nine projections of himself, playing nine different roles in the film “ The Playhouse”.

    Citizen Kane is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest film of all time, and while I find the notion of labeling one movie as “the greatest film ever made” a bit overzealous, the contributions that Citizen Kane made to the film industry and the impact that it had on the audiences in its era is remarkable. Citizen Kane a substantial influence on the audience and the film industry through its use of innovative narrative style and technical cinematic elements that may not have been widely used in classic Hollywood cinema. The narrative style of Citizen Kane challenged the traditional Hollywood narrative by developing the story through the use of flashbacks and first person voice over narration from different characters throughout the movie. Each character, from Jed Leland, Kane’s “friend”, to Susan Kane, Kane’s second wife, to Jerry Thompson, the reporter looking for the meaning behind Kane’s last words, all contribute an aspect of Mr. Kane’s life in the form of a flashback.…

    During the 1920s, many events had taken place that have impacted American culture to this day. Some of these events include: the 1925 Scopes Trial, women’s suffrage and behavior, and the American film industry, too. The Scopes Trial brought about debates on evolution in schools, women’s rights are becoming more equal to those of men, and a revolution has begun in the American film industry.

Films can be used as a historical source because they can put the audience in the time and in the setting of the event that the film is portraying.…
