Unit 13: Films and cinema - Lesson 1:Reading
The history of what we call cinema today began in the early 19
th
century.
At that time, scientists discovered that when a sequence of still pictures
were set in motion, they could give the feeling of movement. In the first
two decades of its existence, the cinema developed rapidly. In those early
days, films were little more than moving photographs, usually about one
minute in length. By 1905, however, films were about five or ten minutes
long. They used changes of scence and camera positions to tell a story,
with actors playing character parts. In the early 1901s, audiences were
able to enjoy the first long films, but it was not until 1915 that the cinema
really became an industry. From that time, film makers were prepared to
make longer and better films and build special places where only film
were shown. The cinema changed completely at the end of the 1920s.
This was when sound was introduced. The change began in America and
soon spread to the rest of the world. As the old silent films were being
replaced by spoken ones on the screen, a new cinema form appeared, the
musical cinema.
