Hi, this might sound like a very naif question, but I would still appreciate any comment on it. I was discussing with some students, who were watching silent films almost for the first time in their lives (freshmen), the issue of visual evolution: at what point can we say that film-language changes from simpler forms to the more complex ones we have today. Which would be the films (from the beginning till now) that marked a turning point in visual language, in music becoming more and more a soundtrack industry, all this stuff. I do have some examples, but I would like to hear some ideas, if possible. Hope anyone is interested and doesn't consider this a rather dull question.
