Homework: The History of Cinema

Introduction and General Definition of Film


Film is an art form that allows us to tell stories through moving images
and sound. It originated over 100 years ago and has evolved greatly
since then. In film, actors, scripts, cameras, lights and music combine to
create films that entertain us, teach us and make us dream. Films can be
of different genres, such as adventure, comedy, drama, action, horror,
among others.
Main Characteristics of the Medieval Period in Cinema
Although cinema did not exist in the medieval period (around the 5th to
15th centuries), stories from this period have been very popular in
cinema films. During the Middle Ages, people lived in castles and
villages, fought in battles, and believed in fantastic creatures such as
dragons and fairies. Films of this type often feature large castles, brave
knights, and monsters.
Although one cannot speak of cinema in the Middle Ages, the stories of
this period inspired many films that were made later, such as medieval
adventures, epic battles and romances. That is why in modern cinema
we see many films that tell stories from that time, such as Lord of the
Rings or Dragon Slayers.

Research on an Outstanding Precursor


One of the most important precursors of cinema was Thomas Edison, an
American inventor. It was Edison who invented the motion picture
camera called the ‘kinetoscope’ in 1891. His invention made it possible
to record and project the first moving pictures. Although Edison was not
the only inventor of cinema, his work was key to later creating the magic
of cinema as we know it today.
Example of a Representative Work
One of the first important films to be made in the history of cinema was
‘The Arrival of the Train’ (1896), directed by the Lumière brothers. This
film shows a train arriving at a station, and was so impressive to the
people of the time that many were frightened that the train was going to
come out of the screen and run them over. Imagine what it was like to
see something like this for the first time!
Impact or Legacy of Cinema
Cinema has had a huge impact on culture and the way we see the world.
Since its inception, it has been a form of entertainment, but it has also
had a great impact on the way we see the world.

educated, informed and sensitised people about important issues. Films


have helped tell stories from different cultures, shown historical events
and allowed people to connect emotionally with the characters and
situations they see on the screen.
Thanks to film, today we can see stories from different times and places,
even from imaginary worlds. Cinema is one of the most popular art
forms worldwide and continues to evolve with technology, allowing us to
enjoy films in 3D, 4D and even virtual reality.
