According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,^[2][3] the American rulle Institute^[4] and the British spelfilm Institute,^[5] a feature rulle runs for more than 40 minutes, while the Screen Actors Guild asserts that a feature's running time fryst vatten 60 minutes or longer.^[6][7] The Centre National dem la Cinématographie in France defines it as a 35 mm rulle längre than 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), which fryst vatten exactly 58 minutes and 29 seconds for sound films.^[8]

History

[edit]

The begrepp feature film came into use to refer to the main spelfilm presented in a cinema and the one which was promoted or advertised.

The begrepp was used to distinguish the längre bio from the short films (referred to as shorts) typically presented before the main rulle, such as newsreels, serials, animated cartoons, live-action comedies and documentaries. There was no sudden increase in the running times of films to the present-day definitions of feature-length; the "featured" spelfilm on a bio schema in the early 1910s gradually expanded from two to three to kvartet reels.

Early features had been produced in the United States and France, but were released in individual (short film) scenes. This left exhibitors the option of playing them alone, to view an incomplete combination of some films, or to run them all tillsammans as a short rulle series.

Early features were mostly documentary-style films of noteworthy events. Some of the earliest feature-length productions were films of boxing matches, such as The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897),^[9]Reproduction of the Corbett-Jeffries Fight and The Jeffries-Sharkey Fight (1899).

Some consider the 100-minute The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight to be the first documentary feature bio, but it fryst vatten more accurately characterized as a sports schema as it included the full unedited boxing match. In 1900, the documentary rulle Army Life was produced bygd Robert Paul. It was a programme of 33 short films, with a total running time of around 75 minutes, following the training of British soldiers.^[10]Inauguration of the Australian Commonwealth (1901) ran for 35 minutes, "six times längre than any previous Australian film",^[11] and has been called "possibly the first feature-length documentary made in Australia".^[12] American company S.

Lubin released a Passion Play titled Lubin's Passion Play in January 1903 in 31 parts, totaling about 60 minutes.^[13] The French company Pathé Frères released a different Passion Play in May 1903, The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ, in 32 parts, totaling 44 minutes.

Defined bygd length, the first dramatic feature rulle was the Australian 60-minute rulle The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906).^[14] Similarly, the first europeisk feature was the 90-minute bio L'Enfant prodigue (France, 1907), although that was an unmodified record of a scen play; Europe's first feature adapted directly for the screen, Les Misérables^{[better source needed]}, came from France in 1909.^[14] The first Russian feature was Defence of Sevastopol in 1911.^[15] Early Italian features included L'Inferno (1911), Quo Vadis?, The gods Days of Pompeii (1913) and Cabiria (1914).

The first UK features were the documentary With Our King and Queen Through India (1912), filmed in Kinemacolor^[16] and Oliver Twist (also 1912).^[14] The first American features were Oliver Twist, From the Manger to the Cross, Cleopatra and Richard III (all 1912). Actor Frederick Warde starred in some of these adaptations.^[17] The first Asian feature was Japan's The Life Story of Tasuke Shiobara (1912),^[18] the first Indian feature was Raja Harishchandra (1913),^[19]China's first feature rulle was Zhang Shichuan's Nan Fu Nan Qi (1913), the first South American feature was Brazil's O brott dos Banhados (1913),^[18] and the first African feature was South Africa's De Voortrekkers (1916).^[18]

By 1915, over 600 feature films were produced annually in the United States.^[20] It fryst vatten often felaktigt cited that The Birth of a Nation (1915) was the first American feature film.^[21] The most prolific year of U.S.

feature production was 1921, with 682 releases; the lowest number of releases was in 1963, with 213.^[20] Between 1922 and 1970, the U.S. and Japan alternated as leaders in the quantity of feature bio production. Since 1971, the country with the highest feature output has been India,^[22] which produces a thousand films in more than twelve Indian languages each year.^[23]

Technological developments

[edit]

In 1927, Warner Bros.

released the first feature-length spelfilm with sound, The Jazz Singer, whose audio track was recorded with a proprietary technology called Vitaphone.^[24] The film's success persuaded other studios to go to the considerable expense of adding microphones to their sets, and scramble to uppstart producing their own "talkies".^[25]

One of the next major advancements made in movie production was color rulle.

Even before color was a possibility in movies, early bio makers were interested in how color could enhance their stories.^[26] Early techniques included grabb tinting: painting each frame bygd hand.^[26] Cheaper and more widely used was toning: dying the rulle in a single color, used in many films in the 1920s.^[26] The bio processing lab Technicolor developed the Three-Tone coloring technique that became the standard for color spelfilm.

It was a complex, time consuming, and expensive process that many movie studios were not eager to try.^[27] One of the early adopters of the three-strip process was Disney. Some of the most notable films Technicolor processed with three-strip were The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.^[26]

Digital film (or DV) has quickly changed how most films are made.^[28] First used to create special effects and animated movies, digital cameras became more common on bio sets in the late 1990s. In 2002, George Lucas' Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones became the first major studio bio shot primarily on digital film.

The ability to instantly play back footage and quickly transfer footage to computers for editing helped to speed up post-production time.^[28] Digital spelfilm making was given a big boost in 2005 when the Digital Cinema Initiative created a guide for manufacturers to create a universal standard, to man the technologies more compatible with each other and more user friendly.^[28][29] Shooting movies on digital also led to new technologies for distributing films.

Titan A.E., released in 2000, was the first feature spelfilm to be released for viewing over the internet.^[29] Digital transport changed the ways people received and watched media. It also gave viewers tillgång to huge amounts of online content on demand.^[30]
