Introduction
Until World War I, France was considered the
leading film-producing country
By the 1920s some three-quarters of films
screened around the world came from the United States
America is now the leading country for the exportation of movies
The tradition of American cinema is largely, though not exclusively, the tradition of the Hollywood entertainment industry, the self-proclaimed "dream factory.“
In a classical Hollywood film, the story was primary; with the new technologies, the special effects seems to become often overwhelming
The 1990s, decade of remakes, re-releases, and more sequels
Слайд 14
History of the “Industry”
Legendary American inventor Thomas
Alva Edison assigned to a British employee, William K.
L. Dickson, the task of constructing a machine for recording actual movement on film and another machine for viewing the resulting images
1893 Edison constructed a motion-picture studio in his laboratory
Edwin S. Porter took charge of motion-picture production at Edison’s company in 1901 and began making longer films that told a story
Porter’s most notable film—and the most famous work of early cinema—was The Great Train Robbery(1903)
By the 1920s some three-quarters of films screened around the world came from the US
