The American Prison As Portrayed In Popular Motion Pictures Of The 1930'S, Ronald B. Querry

American Studies ETDs

This examination of twenty-one popular motion pictures proceeds from the hypothesis that audiences tend to accept as true that part of a movie story which is beyond their experi­ence. Early film portrayals of prisons can be shown to have been less than accurate in many cases, whereas some recent films, as well as what have been termed "post-Attica" writings, have begun to explode many of the myths surrounding America's penal institutions -- myths engendered by movies such as those examined in this study.

The aims of the research were to make a descriptive study of the screen portrayals of prisons …

A History Of Latter-Day Saint Screen Portrayals In The Anti-Mormon Film Era, 1905-1936, Richard Alan Nelson

Theses and Dissertations

Polygamy was the key issue which acted to popularize opposition to the Latter-day Saint Church during the years 1905-1936. As a result of the continuing controversy over the so-called "Mormon Question," secular moviemakers in this period planned or actually produced nearly forty motion pictures containing Mormon characterizations. Although several important pro-LDS movies were made (some with Church assistance), the anti-Mormon photoplay dominated the silent film era portrait of the Saints. Murder and polygamy as basic themes provide clear reference to traditional literary and theatrical images.

Early attempts by Utah and Church officials to censor the offending pictures were unsuccessful. Following …

An Abstract Of A Creative Film Project (Words Tell A Story), Adele Harms

Graduate Research Papers

When an author creates his medium is words, when a composer creates his medium is music, when a sculptor works he employs clay or stone. Film, used as a creative medium is one of the least limiting tools available to express originality of ideas. It can actually encompass all other forms of creativity by projecting them on a screen. By adding sound to the film words can be used in an effective form. For these reasons, film can be an exciting creative format.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of film is that it shows motion. It does not have to "suggest" …
