Pioneering products and developments
It is worth mentioning that the term pioneer can also be used to talk about a revolutionary creation that marked a before and after thanks to rethinking the bases or transcending the frontiers explored up to that point in a given field. In the history of cinema, for example, there have been many examples of pioneering people and works, as set out below:
* In 1902, the first science fiction short film was filmed, called “ Trip to the Moon .” Its creators were also pioneers in the use of special effects and all this brought them fruit, since their film is among the 100 best of the 20th century;
* The Kinemacolor system was a pioneer in the production of color films. It was used since 1908, but it was only in 1914 that it gave life to a feature film, " The World, the Flesh and the Devil ." Despite the innovation it represented, it also brought numerous technical problems, which is why it fell into disuse after said work;
* The film " Inspiration ", released in 1915, was pioneering in that it showed a completely naked actress, Audrey Munson, a well- known model who had posed without clothes for many artists. Knowing this work, it is curious that the North American film industry has censored nudity for three decades starting in 1934;
* The film titled " The Jazz Singer " (1927) was the first to have sound in history. As a curious fact, it was also controversial for having a white actor wearing makeup to look black, something that sparked complaints of racism. Although it may be hard to believe, many people in the film industry thought that sound films would be a passing fad;
* DVD is a technology that today is beginning to seem old compared to Blu-ray, but in 1996 the film " Twister " (" Tornado ") was the first to be released in this format, which would quickly leave VHS behind . In a short time, the catalog of DVD titles grew considerably.
