In the past, graphics, special effects, and even techniques weren’t close to being up to par with modern day films. In the mid 1900’s, there was such a big process that many directors had to follow through to complete a film; now-a-days, in the 21st century, this process is the opposite. This brings forth its cause, Technology. Technology plays a very important role in our lives, film making happening to be one of them. Because of technology being so significant, we tend to use as much of it as possible in movies, or adding as many special effects and unique graphics.
In modern society, myth is often regarded as historical or obsolete. Many scholars in the field of cultural studies are now beginning to research the idea that myth has worked itself into modern discourses. Modern formats of communication allow for wide spread communication across the globe, thus enabling mythological discourse and exchange among greater audiences than ever before. Various elements of myth can now be found in television, cinema and video games. Although myth was traditionally transmitted through the oral tradition on a small scale, the technology of the film industry has enabled filmmakers to transmit myths to large audiences via film dissemination (Singer, “Mythmaking: Philosophy in Film”, 3-6).
The key elements of any film marketing campaign includes: posters, the unique selling point of a poster promises a unique film and may appear special to the viewer, most viewers need to be presented with a film that seems different from the others they have seen before, something new and exciting and this helps to real them in to watch the film, and ultimately this aids the profit of the film all because of the poster. Trailers are also a huge part of marketing, and these need to present a number of key elements to a potential audience. The genre of the film has to be apparent and this may be shown through key scenes, dialogue, and iconography or sound elements. The key elements of the narrative also have to be included, but obviously not enough to give away the surprises within the narrative. If the film is star driven then the viewer will expect to see sequences including well known stars.

The OWI would manipulate the scripts and outcomes of many films for the benefits of the country as a whole. These books were historical contexts on films during the time of war. The books found were historical because they went over the history of World War II during this time, and they were also able to glimpse at the history of film. Both books made it obvious to their readers that the government played a major role in cinema during this time. Pressure from the war was high, and any way for the government to interlude propaganda to the public in order to boost morale was
In the process of completing this project I have executed all of the above. In addition to reading the page-turning play, I saw the multi-award winning film, and greatly enjoyed it. However, despite the fact that the film and the play were both very successful, I found that there are a few considerable differences between the two.

Then, along came "The Wizard of Oz." Needless to say, audiences were not only stirred by the terrific story, but they were also dazzled by the film's special effects. The special effects are glorious in that old Hollywood way, in which you don't even have to look closely to see where the set ends and the backdrop begins. Almost all films were still being made in black and white, so the switch from black and white to color would have had a special significance in 1939 when the movie was made. "The Wizard of Oz" was a major achievement when you consider that it was filmed nearly three-quarters of a century ago.

To the realist, the artist’s main function is to describe as accurately and honestly as possible what one observes through ones senses. In contemporary times realism is most popularly equated with vision. This is because vision is one of the senses we focus most on, even the word “focus” is primarily thought of in visual terms before any of the other senses.
The feature films “Alice in Wonderland” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “and the short film “Vincent” all display elements of Burton’s style, but because of their different mediums and storyline, they have noticeable variations. Burton’s characters are traditionally dark and mysterious, these elements are shown throughout “Corpse Bride”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “and “Vincent”, but these movies also show excellent contrasts including brighter and happier characters as well. Throughout the duration of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” there is an amazing range of characters from Charlie to the Oompa Loompas, and during The Corpse Bride the mix of characters is also quite astounding. But in Vincent the majority of the characters are quite dark and unhappy, which is also very effective in setting the scene. Tim Burton’s characters are generally either very happy or quite dark, he doesn’t usually have the in between kind of character that can be nice, and also be unhappy.
