- Now, I’d just like to say that no other art form has had quite the impact on our lives that the motion pictures have. Cinema is one of the best types of art and cinematography is considered to be one of the rare wonders. To many people in the twentieth century that was the golden age of the cinema.
- Yes, I agree entirely here. Indeed, the movies are truly an art of our time — they were born and have come of age in the twentieth century, and they now demand the serious consideration given to the other arts.
- That's exactly what I think. Cinema is a combination of different types of art: music, theater, literature, painting and else. Every decade has brought something new for the cinema. For example, in the 30-s the main genres were musicals, gangster stories, mute comedies and horror films. The 70-s were the times of political movies and French comedies. The 90-s brought lots of westerns and spy films.
- Yes, that's true. Nowadays, we have so many new genres, among them thrillers, adventure films, underground, science fiction and many others. Don't you think that cinema — a widespread art and entertainment of the 21th century?
- Perhaps, but I am not so sure about this, because in the 20th century there was a revolution movie. Cinema has become the main form of art in comparison with theater.
- What you say's perfectly true. Neither kind of art does not have such broad possibilities impact on our perception of how the movie: it combines acting, light and color, different plans, composition and music, word, noises and sounds ...
- You may be right, but I think it goes further than that, a lot further. This is the "seventh art", as they call the cinema, absorbed the experience of all the other six arts, achievement in cinematography associated with the development of technology. Cinema is the brainchild of technological progress.

    With the large variety of interests that flourish within the society, it is no shock that genres exist, especially in film, as the definition of entertainment differs from person to person. A genre is a category of films that are characterised by similarities in the narrative elements and conventions found within the films. Genres are extremely useful to both film producers and audiences as it helps them narrow down the target audience and search for films that are in their range of interests. No one wants to watch a political drama overrun with teenagers or go into a cinema with the intentions of watching a romantic comedy, only to receive blood and gore instead.…

    All throughout history art has been around to appeal to those who were willing to take the time to understand it. While a large majority can appreciate art in itself, it is clear that not everyone has the patience or sometimes are just not even willing to attempt, to appreciate it. In the last century or so film has brought art to the attention of a larger audience through a way that, to many, comes across as more appealing.…

    The way films are created and pieced together has progressed greatly over the past century, where before 1910 there was little use of film techniques such as special effects, animation, complex transition sequences and many more. However the introduction of film techniques have helped films gain a sense of genre and establishment as they were used to create specific intensities set out by the director; this is where roles corresponding to certain areas were introduced such as cinematographers, production designers and lighting directors. A classic example of a well-known director would be Alfred Hitchcock (1899 – 1980) who is famous for creating suspense films like The Birds or Psycho. I am mentioning him as he had revolutionised the way films…

    When you think about the movie industry’s peek in the early to mid-1900s you must consider the social and political environment in the United States at that given time and the affect that had on the movie industries success. To start it was a time of high volume immigration and with that we were faced with the challenge to meld cultures and reform social normality’s. In Screening Out the Past, by Lary may he discusses people traveling to America and becoming a part of the working class and in search of the American dream. Next, you have prohibition which highlighted the social tension between progressives and traditionalists and last but certainly not least we were a country amidst the chaos of World War II. So in such times of havoc and turmoil in seems very appropriate to me that people would want to escape their personal concerns by allowing a film to encapsulate them. I believe people…

    In the early 1900’s silent films amazed audiences with images, later talkies impressed with sound, today we have 3D. As technology continues to evolve so too will film genres. Genres, while having some shared characteristics, also differ in terms of stylistic devices used. For instance, the dramatic film “The Notebook” effectively uses color to reinforce theme and has plausible performers as the two main protagonists.…

    Bordwell argues that whilst themes may differ across the broad range of films classified as art cinema, the functions of these themes within the individual films are in fact consistent and make use of certain narrative and stylistic principles. Of these he cites three principal traits that can be identified with art cinema – realism, authorship, and ambiguity. It can be argued…

    For many people in the world art is made up of two different categories, paintings and sculptures. But, there are some forms that are almost never thought of as art. The forms that are being discussed are videos and movies. Films and videos, much like other forms of art, are made to provoke an emotion from the viewer whether it be positive and negative. The fact that they last longer and have a ton of movement is what makes films so enticing to its viewers. Another detail that makes movies so interesting is the amount of work that must go into every movie.

    We frequently consider films in terms of their genre, a French word meaning ‘kind’ or ‘sort’. It is a very complex term, not only used in film but also in other creative areas such as music, art, and literature. However, it is often considered through various conventions including iconography, similar themes and their stylistic features, as Bordwell and Thompson (2006:357) suggest, ‘ style…is the formal system of the film that organizes techniques’ such as lighting, props and setting. This repetition of common elements across a series of films allows us as the viewer to identify genre. For example, if a film was to present a dessert, horses and guns it would distinguish a western genre, whereas in a thriller, low key lighting would be used to create shadows, and props such as mirrors would signify this opposing genre. On the other hand, genres can have similarities and differences, which enables us to be kept entertained even though watching the same genre. This is because a cross-genre or hybrid is used in many contemporary films, which allows filmmakers to link other genres into the narrative such as a film noir or spaghetti western.…
