5 questions, 4 required, 20 min per q. Lecture 1 (lays a conceptual background for future films): A different culture will produce a different kind of film, but also a film will create cultural attitudes in different societies.

There need to be certain things in place for film to work. P of v is when our brain combines the moving of still images shown in rapid succession to make it look like a moving picture. No language barriers in early silent films, so appeal to a large audience. Tickets not as expensive as a theatre show. Helped foster sense of identity for masses as a cultural force.
