What Is Film History?
• Film history traces the development of moving images from early experiments with image reproduction and photography through the invention of the movies in the early 1890s, as well as subsequent stylistic, financial, technological, and social developments in cinema that have occurred up to now

Four Traditional Approaches to Studying Film History
• The aesthetic approach• The technological approach• The economic approach• Film as social history
![Page 5: Looking at Movies Fourth Edition Richard Barsam Dave Monahan CHAPTER TEN Film History](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6e5503460f94a4f87a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
The Aesthetic Approach
• Seeks to evaluate individual movies and/or directors using criteria that assess their artistic significance and influence
![Page 6: Looking at Movies Fourth Edition Richard Barsam Dave Monahan CHAPTER TEN Film History](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6e5503460f94a4f87a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
The Technological Approach
• Examines the circumstances surrounding the development of each technological advance, as well as subsequent improvements
• Focuses on the interaction of technology with aesthetics, modes of production, and economic factors
![Page 7: Looking at Movies Fourth Edition Richard Barsam Dave Monahan CHAPTER TEN Film History](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6e5503460f94a4f87a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
The Economic Approach
• Examines the economic history of the individual movie, as well as the place in the economic history of the movie’s studio and the historical period and country in which it was produced
![Page 8: Looking at Movies Fourth Edition Richard Barsam Dave Monahan CHAPTER TEN Film History](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6e5503460f94a4f87a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Film as Social History• Because society and culture influence the movies, and
vice versa, the movies serve as primary sources for studying society
• Considers such factors as religion, politics, and cultural trends and taboos
• Asks to what extent, if any, a particular movie was produced to sway public opinion or effect social change
• Examines the complex interaction between the movies – as a social institution – and other social institutions
![Page 9: Looking at Movies Fourth Edition Richard Barsam Dave Monahan CHAPTER TEN Film History](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d6e5503460f94a4f87a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

A Short Overview of Film History to 1947: Precinema
• Photography – “writing with light,” coined by Sir John Herschel (1839)
• Camera obscura (Latin for dark chamber) – a location large enough for a viewer to stand inside. Light entering through a tiny hole on one side of the space projects an image from outside the space onto the opposite wall.
• Series photography – records the phases of an action
