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. Sound helps its viewers follow…

I was looking on Google trying to figure out what movie I should watch for this journal, I notice while rea ding the descriptions, that most of the films dealt with some kind of martial arts training. Additionally, what I also found appealing while looking at which movies to watch, was how most of the films were set back in time and the movies were mainly set back to the early 19th century.

He would have associate supervisors to handle the day to day operations of film production. In 1931, the studio system of central producers saw its retirement and a new system was adopted. This system was called the producer-unit system. This system was structured to have a general manager, executive manager, production manager, studio manager,…

He placed a Mary dummy in the actor's place, restarted…

1) The beginning narration of the movie, or what I will call its 'proem', poses questions and makes statements about everlasting kleos through future generations knowing the names and deeds of heroes. However, one addition the moviemakers add to the movie's 'proem' is an emphasis on love. From an audience/advertising standpoint, this line is directed to those who are not hugely interested in action movies. Essentially, I see the concentration on love as a modern day scheme to entertain a wider…

One of the biggest film sagas of all-time came to an epic conclusion over the weekend – as the Jennifer Lawrence-led sequel, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, vigorously dominated the box office. With a thunderous debut of $101 million, Mockingjay – Part 2 put an exclamation point on a masterful (and lucrative) film series.
