describe early film and techniques

The first moving pictures, often called 'flickers,' were very, very short. A few seconds to a couple minutes of footage featured such commonplace scenes as a sneezing man, a kissing couple, a dance performance, a boxing match, or acts from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Viewers typically watched these little films with a Kinetoscope.

As projection became commonplace, movies expanded in length. In the first decade of the 20th century, most films were one or two reels long, or about 10 to 15 minutes, and they began to contain storylines, characterization, and even basic special effects. Georges Méliès' films The Haunted Castle and A Trip to the Moon amused viewers with disappearing objects, double exposure tricks, and fadeouts. The 1903 flick The Great Train Robbery, the very first real Western, excited viewers with its action scenes and intrigued them with its creative camera work, including shots taken from a moving train.

For many years, film producers were hesitant to make movies longer than one or two reels because they thought audiences would grow restless watching longer films. As the 1910s approached, however, a few directors decided to take the risk with feature length films. Les Miserables and The Life of Moses were four and five reels respectively, but they were released in sections. In 1911, Dante's Inferno, a 69-minute film, was released in its complete form, followed in 1912 by Oliver Twist and Queen Elizabeth.

Other popular early films include:

The Life of an American Fireman, the first documentary

D.W. Griffith's epic post-Civil War drama Birth of a Nation, that actually inspired a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan

Slapstick Keystone Comedies featuring the hilarious Keystone Kops

Serial movies, like The Adventures of Kathlyn, that held viewers' attention over multiple episodes

Cecil B. DeMille's fantastic epics, like The Ten Commandments and The King of Kings

The Lost World, the first science fiction film

Westerns, like director John Ford's The Iron Horse

Spooky films, including The Cat and the Canary

Canine star Rin Tin Tin's movies

Imports, like the Russian film Battleship Potemkin

Movie spectacles, like Fred Niblo's Ben-Hur

Thea is a general contractor put to work on a major renovation of a historic old building downtown that was just sold to a new owner. Many of the building’s original features are still in existence, including much of the original woodwork, the original windows, the brickwork of the building’s structure, and the original iron fence with its complex scrolling patterns. The problem is that most of these features have not been maintained well. The new owner wants to tear out anything damaged or worn and replace it with new materials that look close enough to the original. Thea wants to argue a different plan. What should be the points of this plan? (Select all that apply.)


Consult with relevant master craftspeople to get a rule of thumb from them to make spot judgments regarding which features are beyond saving and need to be thrown out.
Hire master metal workers, carpenters, stonemasons, and any other master craftspeople with relevant expertise to assess the historic features of the building.
Argue that because of the building’s historical nature, any replacements of original features would have no hope of matching the originals in any way.
