1. I think it is amazing the technology we have now for making film compared to what it was. I mean they use to take it frame by frame by photography, which would take for ever! and then they would have to put it on film roll, and now, all we have to do is press a button and it does the rest for us. This new medium produced entertainment for people and opened up the doors for stardom and celebrities.
2. What are films without music or noises or props? These things are all very critical to film making and give each viewer something ot hang on to, and more than that, a feeling, maybe scared or happy or sad because your are setting the scene or the environment to take on a purpose and a feeling that come across to your viewers.
3. The development of high digital film greatly helped out directors an probably everyone on the set because they wouldn't have to wait for film to get back and re-act if it was bad. Now they could do it all right there.
Its so amazing to me on how fast our technology can grow in just a couple years. obviously if you look back at movies from the 50s you're going to see a very large gap but even if you look back about 3 or 4 years you see a noticeable difference in the technology and picture quality.
I can't even imagine a time when an actor didn't have to study a script. I do believe that you had to have more of a physical skill since you had to portray how you were feeling with only body language. Moreover, if you take music away from a film you no longer get as an intense feeling.
