    Cinema originated from the French term "cinematograph" coined in 1890 to describe the motion picture apparatus invented by the Lumiere brothers. By 1899, cinema referred to a hall where motion pictures were shown. Early films were short clips showing scenes from places like Paris, and were a novelty because they could capture and project movement. In 1927, the introduction of sound began the era of the "talkies."

    Cinema- derived from the French word

    cinematograph coined by Louis and Aguste


    Lumieri to describe the motion picture
    apparatus they created in 1890. By 1899 the
    term cinema referred to a hall where motion
    pictures were shown
    Film- is derived from the fact that visual and
    later audio are recorded in a strip of celluloid
    film coated with light sensitive material
    Movie Or Motion Picture- comes from the films
    ability to create the illusion movement on
    screen. A less popular or common name is
    photoplay.
    Nickelodion- was also a term used from
    Nickel (five US cents), and Odeon from the greek
    oideion, meaning a music hall. Projected images
    were shown on screen usually a variety of short
    films and shots of stage performances.
    These replaced what was known as “peep show”.
    The price for this amusements was five cents.
    In 1897- movies were shown in Manila using the
    French projector. The early films were novel
    enough because they could capture and project
    motion; and were moving clips of scenes of
    Europe's, especially Paris.

    In 1927- sound came to film and the era of the


    talkies began. The actors and actresses who
    were masters of the silent film, once recorded
    for the talkies.
    George Eastman- founder of Eastman Kodak
    company, had already invented the roll of film
    in 1884 to capture images and make moving
    pictures.
    Two Forms Of Films
    1. Feature- tells fictional or nonfiction, followed
    many features of theater such as the plot,
    characters; and when sounds was added to the
    film and dialogue.
    Because of technology, film added the
    advantages of being repeatable as often as
    needed without physically exhausting actors.
    2. Documentary- began with the newsreel or as a
    piece on some exotic place in the world and was
    shown before the feature film

    Before World War II there were 6 film companies
    making more than 50 films annually.

    There was even a Cebuano Film Industry but war


    brought all of that to an abrupt.
    That industry produced Bertoldo Balodoy in 1938
    1. Visual Element- covers what is visible on screen or inside
    the frame of a film.
    2. Cinematography Element- involves the use of the camera-
    how it is place, the angle in relation to the subject, etc. All
    these contribute to the final recorded image, which the
    viewer see and respond.
    3. Sound Element- covers all the sound components in a film-
    music, sound effects, ambient noise, and dialogue. It can
    establish the sound the mood of the scene, or contribute
    to its environment.
    4. Editing Video And Audio- belongs more to the
    composition of a film rather than to the elements of
    film. This task is analogous to composition of the
    visual arts because it involves putting together the
    finished product- film
    The film editor with the director , makes two
    important decisions:
    first- how to sequence or arrange the shots.
    Second- how long the shots will stay on the screen

    Cure- a short segment that will replace a shot while


    editing. It is done when a director is not pleased
    with a scene or after a review of the film.
     Sound editing- this involves the balancing of
    sound recorded live on the set, refining the sound
    and working with sound effects and music.
     Audio bed- refers to music that runs through a
    production to help establish timing.
     Dubbing- used if sound is not clear, either
    because of the actress’ or actor’s delivery or
    technical problems. It is also applied when a film
    is translated into another language.
    D.W. Griffift is said to have
    developed film grammar.
    He was a director, writer and producer.
    Best remembered for his epic movies
    Birth of a nation (1915) and Intolerance:
    Love’s Struggle Throughout The Ages (1916).
    One way to look at film is to make an analogy
    between it and human language.

    1. Single still image- the still image may have


    little or unclear meaning as the image can be
    led to multiple possibilities.
    2. Shot- is a single, continuous recording. It can
    be likened to the word.
    3. Scene- is a series of related shots and is like a
    sentence. Scenes are separated by transitions
    which are like punctuations in a sentenced
    4. Sequence- a series of scenes that portray a
    major portion of the whole story.
