I have been carrying out more in depth research about the history of film to enable me to have a greater understanding of film for my advanced portfolio.The beginnings of film in the 1890s filming was done manually. The Lumiere Brothers were groundbreakers in film making, they created the earliest films. As the filming was done manually to create a film less than a minute in length it would take 17 metres of actual physical film.
The Lumiere Brothers made short films called actualities, everyday mini documentaries. They were pioneers in film making not only creatively because of their artistic and realism attributes but also they also contributed to the advance in technology.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism is very closely linked to intertextuality within media forms. Postmodernism is when one text references another text. Postmodernism is seen as evident in things such as pastiches. For example, 'Anuvahood' is a pastiche of 'Kidulthood' meaning it references to and takes influence from an existing media product.
Le Voyage Dans La Lune 1902 saw a change from everyday documentary style films to more fictional short films with more of an actual narrative and plot. Le Voyage Dans La Lune shows an actual stage set and costumes and so on. The Smashing Pumpkins music video for 'Tonight Tonight' shows that the director behind the video was heavily influenced by the film from 1902 and this is an example of postmodernism.
