THEM:

1920s. THE SILENT ERA Hollywood (1930s to 1970s). THE SOUND industry
ERA.
● Technical aspects: from your professional point view, make a record of the different techniques and innovations in each era. Do you
know how the first films or attempts were recorded? Also, how have special effects evolved?
● The most famous cinema industry is in Hollywood, but has it always been that way, was it the first one? What about the film industry in
other parts of the world? Have you ever heard about Cinecitta, or about westerns recorded in Spain many decades ago? Or… what
about Bollywood, or British cinema industries along history?
● When did cinema actors and actresses become celebrities? Have they always been rich and famous? Or was there an interest in
gossiping about them?
