Early Storytelling…

Everyone has a story to tell Oral tradition Greek mythology / Odyssey Written documents Egyptian hieroglyphics / papyrus Photography Images on glass plates Linking photographs – Movies!

Running Horse (1877)Horse Muybridge Early animation? Linked series of photographs

Frank Ott’s Sneeze (1894)Sneeze First “motion picture” Filmed as individual pictures First copyrighted film

Arrival of a Train (1895)Train Lumiere Brothers – France Legend that the first group viewing this in a café were terrified of the train “hitting them” and they ran out of the café. Probably not true….but good publicity! Even if NOT true, WHY would the viewers do this?

Chicken or the Egg? Which came first? Fun debate, eh? Which came first….. Desire to communicate? RULES of grammar? Or….. Did they EVOLVE / CHANGE over time?

Grammar Agreed upon rules of writing / speaking / English A comma means….. A period means…. A capital letter means….

In Film….. Grammar is present Fades to black mean…. Cross-cutting means…. Close-ups mean…. Early days like this….the grammar is being solidified

Exiting the Factory (1895)Factory Lumiere Brothers – France Shot at 16 frames / second What do we show films at now (well, before we went digital)? Did people really move that fast?

Voyage to the Moon (1902)Moon George Melies – French Using animation and “special effects” Not just filming what humans can do Popular at the time Editing only to link scenes together No “narrative form” created

Life of an American Firefighter (1903)Firefighter Edwin Porter Beginning usage of editing Continuous narrative over 7 scenes The Fireman's Vision of an Imperiled Woman and Child. A Close View of a New York Fire Alarm Box. The Interior of the Sleeping Quarters in the Fire House. Interior of the Engine House. The Apparatus Leaving the Engine House. Off to the Fire. The Arrival at the Fire.

The Great Train Robbery (1903)Robbery Edwin Porter Uses editing to tell the story Is any of this confusing to you? Why or why not?

Birth of a Nation (1915) DW Griffith First blockbuster First feature-length film (almost 3 hours) Negative view of African-Americans Positive images of the KKK (President Woodrow Wilson said it was his FAVORITE film!)

Birth of a Nation (1915)Nation Innovative film techniques Deep focus Jump cuts Close-ups

The Jazz Singer (1927)Singer First feature-length film with synchronized sound Brings in the era of the “talkies.”

Modern Times (1936)Times Charlie Chaplin First time Chaplin’s voice heard on film.
