The history of Cinema was the outline for this weeks lecture. It all started in France on the 28 of December, 1895 when France got it first Cinema. The cinemas in Paris were full off people that want to watch the 20 minutes short divided into 10 short stories, so it was sent as much as 10 times a day. At that time it was no permanently movie theaters in Paris, but after this enormous interest a movie theatre was completed in 1897. Now that they had a place to show film, the urge for making films started to grow, and in 1903 a real life-based film was put on to life, lasting no more then 10 minutes. The film was called "the story of the Kelly gang" it was actually an Australian production.
Until then the films that have been out was with no sound at all, so in 1927 the first film with an talking dialog the Jazz singer came out, sound + films= money, that resulted in 1929 that the first talking, color ,dancing picture film came on the screens in New York City. As a result of films with all this features, a nominee award was needed, The Oscars. The first ever Oscar award was held at the 16 Th. of May at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Only ten years later Disney released the first full length animated film, the ever famous Snow white and the seven dwarf.
The evolution from BIG screen to small screen i must admit i take for granted. All the changes over the last decade that has literally change how we receive entertainment. The IMAX cinema, pay tv, and then there is computer games. The development of the screen is enormous. I have actually taken part of som of the history, the first Disney/Pixar GCI (Computer generated imagery) gilm, Toy story. Im giving the children from this genaration a thought, everything they are taking for granted. Here is anyway the trailer for the first totally animated feature lenght film.
WEEK FoUR TUTESPARK.....
This weeks tutespark was to find three short film, thats had a story.
The first one i found was a short movie called "Cocaine Jesus" its very fascinating how a film with only word can be bring such a story. I think people in our days like things simple, and by giving suck a message through just a black screen with white words is what people want!
The second film i enjoyed the most was a short film called "Death & Taxes" by Jeremy Bartel, for some people filing taxes is a nightmare. Jeremy Bartel is making a film about what i think some people think and want to do with the tax man in worst case cenario. One of the factors about this film is that he put to life what people may think about doing but never dears to.

The third one i found that fascinated me was a Sam Hendi film called black sheep. I liked the drama in it, you can understand the big sisters frustration over looking for her little sister the whole night. I think the film is trying to give people an idea of how a life could be for a family after the parents are gone. How a big sisters struggle to maintain the bond they once had. What is not easy when the situation is turned upside down like that.
