Film Remakes
Kong Kong - 1933
Kong Kong - 2005
The difference between the two movies is the practical effects used. In the original 30s version you had Stop-Motion Animation, while in the 2000s remake. The new effects are motion capture, which is a significant difference to the original.
The Thing - 1955
The Thing - 1982
The difference between the two classics is that both movies are set in difference continents. The original set in the North Pole, the remake from John Carpenter is set in the South Pole. Another significant change between the two movies is that, the 50s classic uses are a costume for the monster. While in the 80s version uses animatronics and a lot of gore.
Godzilla - 1954
Godzilla - 2014
The difference between the two Big-G movies is the setting. The original Godzilla (Gojira in Japan) was set in Japan. While the recently released 2014 version is set in America. Another difference is the storyline. Instead of Godzilla destroying Japan like the original. In the modern remake, Godzilla is saving America from the evil Mutos. Another significant change is that Godzilla in the remake is a CGI monster, while the original is a man in a costume.
The reason we do remakes is because it allows a new audience to have the experience on watching a film that was released many years ago. Another reason is because it revives a franchise and sees how the film would look in the modern setting, compared to its settings in the 50s or the 80s for example.

The Lumiere Legacy
1 - The lumiere Brothers (Louis and Auguste) were two french brothers, who would revolutionise the early films in the late 19th century to early 20th century.
2 - Both the brothers lived in Besoncon, France.
3 - At that time, the person who ruled France was Napoleon the 3rd.
4 - Another significant events that occurred during the Lumiere brothers period was the Civil War between the North and South of America.
5 - The films that the Lumiere brothers created, show a lot of what the daily working class Joe does in there daily lives.
6 - The films were not too long. They where approximately 5 minutes. Reason for this was because the filming at the time wasn’t too advance and obviously different to how films are filmed today.
7 - The cinematography was of course was very standard for the time and in terms of positioning, it wasn’t too experimental like many films of today and was just given a very simple treatment of the camera being still and just letting it film the scenery.
