based on it. It is the mystical fact that an
actor's performance in a film, with his
personality and voice, has a life completely
independent of the actor's own personality and
voice that gave it being (Kauffmann 38). This is

basically film itself. The idea of a character
rebelling against and threatening his creator, who
is himself identical in every physical way, is
more appalling than any other science ...

English drama, as we know it was not always the
way it is. It has evolved tremendously since the
time of early church plays. Drama in England began

to educate the common folk. Before the
Renaissance, several kinds of plays were written
and produced. Miracle plays and mystery plays were
introduced to teach people stories from the Bible.
Morality plays taught people how to live and die.

associated with the rise of avant-garde art and
theater, in the second part of twentieth century.

Technological Advances Star Wars
1,832 words
In the period previous to the 1930 s, the
predominant form of filmmaking was that of the
crank camera. This is not to say that motor-driven
cameras were not possible. However, the motors to
advance the film were so large that they were
simply too cumbersome to be effective. Thus, it
was the cameraman himself who would crank the film
at a steady rate to expose the frames. When it
came to showing the film, on the other hand, motor
driven projectors were quite convenient, and by
the 1920 s a standa...

a sense, that the events are happening before
them. Literature is better able to accomplish this
by uti...
