Ferenc Zoltan 10 movie formats that shook the world

Techniscope
1960 Italy was a cheaper way to create films and gave the image a different look not only on the screen but way stuff looked like in the film.

It gave the film a dirty gritty look to it to make it look somewhat old and in westerns more intense. For certain genres this movie format was extremely good while for others it was a bad idea. It could throw off the way the movie looked and could almost give it a false pretense to what the movie is going to be about.

IMAX
was created in 1970 and it had a clear picture that could show more depth of color bringing the picture to life and changing the format of movies. It changed the way people can view the movies. It started from a small group in Canada but quickly spread and as of today the newest way to watch movies.

Kinetoscope:

The Kinetoscope is one of the original pieces of technology. It was introduced in 1894 and was based off the chronophotographic gun.  The kinetoscope was a single-viewer device that gave access to watch films through a peep-hole. This was revolutionary and was the start on how we watch films today. This device created the earliest type of actors performing roles for the camera.

Todd-AO film type

Introduced in 1955 and was a great way to film musicals. The style came about because Paul Thomas Anderson wanted to one-up the person before him and improve the widescreen and sound performance abilities, Todd-AO was run on 70mm film, was the first type of film to run at 30fps and have great sound quality. This type of film was well known for the Sound of Music, Oklahoma and many others.

Techniscope:

Introduced in 1963 came as an adaptation to Cinemascope and even though the film grade was actually lower than Cinemascope (meaning it was worse quality) it was used until 1980 and was used because it only took half of the film to film than Cinemascope, which was a huge advancement because it originally took a huge amount of film just for one scene, where as Cinemascope took that amount and cut it in half. Cinemascope is mostly famous for filming Once Upon a Time in the West and many Lucio Fulci horror films.

It was still operated by a hand crank, but it was portable, so it could travel and be set up wherever the demand took it. It was popular in five-cent nickelodeons, which made it an attraction to poorer audiences.

IMAX
Introduced in 1970
Initially used for geographic and natural history features. It requires 3x as much film as normal.
