This encyclopedia provides a wealth of information about the history of cinema early on, covering film production techniques and equipment, features of leading directors and producers, analysis of individual films, the rapid growth of cinematic films, and the emergence of something the world has never seen before - the movie star. The work also focuses on how the nature of the film exhibition changes as industry grows, and how audience reception of films changes.
The pre-cinema period is examined to show those forms and cultural practices - such as the music hall and vaudeville - through which the cinema appears. Perfect companion for any student from early cinema and film studies..
