If you've been intently following this thread, you'd know that this month's post is the last of this five part series. And for those who've missed out so far, fret not! :) Here are the links to Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV of this ongoing series. So, let's not waste any time and get started right away! :) 

So far, we have traversed a journey from the era of silent to sound and from black and white to color. During these transitional phases of cinema we observed how newer technologies only went on to enhance story-telling where film makers creatively adapted to this change by evolving creative ways towards film grammar and story structure.

UNDERSTANDING THE LANGUAGE OF STORYTELLING IN HOLLYWOOD: SCARFACE & THE GHOST SHIP (PART-III)

Hi Friends,

How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying my posts on the retrospect of film-making in Hollywood and how the language of story-telling evolved vis-a-vis with the coming of newer technologies. 

So far we have traversed a journey from the the silent era of black and white films to the coming of sound. While development of color was still at its nascent stage but with the coming of sound, we observed how the grammar of story-telling veered more towards this new technology i.e. you had more dialogues, sound effects and music which became an integral part of cinema.
