History of Film Language
I have researched into the History of Film language in the cinema, and found out that it arguably started and was introduced with the very first, most famous cut, from The Great Train Robbery from 1903 by Edwin S. Porters. Which in the first shot of the film where the robbers are bursting into the train depot office, where in the back ground we can see the train pulling in and then in the next shot were outside with the robbers and the train once again pulls in and stops near them – this is significant as the audience realise that the train in the first shot was the same as the one in the second shot and it all happened in one action meaning the train didn't pull in twice.
Here is the part of the clip that is described above showing the cut shot:
History of Film Language further.
The film terminology ‘Montage’ was developed when film maker D.W.Griffith weaved together four separate story lines by cross cutting scenes from different places and times creating a montage which is most famously shown in Battleship Potemkin.
Continuity editing, shot sizes, the use of colour, parallel editing and camera movement, has developed over the years in new and exciting ways and allowed film makers to speak to audiences.
