Abstract: The history of the motion picture is the story of trial and error, of improvisation, of imitation and intuition. The apprenticeship system was, and largely remains, the usual method of learning motion-picture techniques. In the late 1920s and early 1930s a few universities began offering organized courses in film technique. Today, many educators and leaders in the motion-picture industry agree that the medium deserves serious and critical study, and that there is a critical need for a larger pool of talented young people who must be specially trained if we are to maintain our historic leadership in the motion-picture arts and sciences.
