Writing Homework Help

I don’t understand this Film question and need help to study.

These general discussion forum instructions and guidelines can be found in the course syllabus, and apply to all discussion forums:

For full credit, you need to make at least one post, and one reply to another student’s post, for each discussion. And the posts need to be relevant and substantial—on topic, at least 150 words approx.

Please address both discussion prompts below, separately. And try to tie in a few ideas from our first assigned readings.

1. Focusing on Muybridge’s motion study photography, Edison’s kinetoscope films, and the Lumieres brothers films, offer some thoughts on their style, and approach to representation. What kind of thinking, or unconscious impulses, are inspiring these very first cinematic images? How might Muybridge’s photos relate to both scientific attitudes, and painting movements like Impressionism, prevalent during the late 1800’s? How do Edison’s and Lumieres brothers’ films – the first true films ever made – relate to spectacle, entertainment, showmanship, voyeurism, and documentary realism (all still dominant modes of filmmaking today)–?

1. Offer some comments on the evolution of storytelling, in a few of the films from Trip to the Moon through The Girl and Her Trust. What do you notice about advances in editing, framing and acting, to help tell the story? What kinds of stories are told? What might these stories reveal about the time period (early 1900s), in terms of technology, gender, morality, and so on–?
