Document Summary

Media and culture: mass communication in a digital. Chapter seven: movies and the impact of images. Movies tell communal stories that evoke and symbolize our most enduring values and our secret desires. They all sort through our experiences that either af rmed or deviated from their own values. The new technology that lead to new categories of mass media was developed thanks to simultaneous investigations by many different people, not just an individual. Leonardo da vinci theorized about creating a device that would reproduce reality. That"s how far back the idea of lm goes. Magic lantern: developed in the seventeenth century and projected images painted on glass plates using an oil lamp as a light source. Thaumatrope: developed in 1824, a two sided card with different images on each side that appeared to combined the images when twirled. Zoetrope: developed in 1834, a cylindrical device that rapidly twirled images inside a cylinder, which appeared to make the images move.
