Answer:
The early film industry was probably new and fresh but people were exited about it. Today this industry is a business and also political. Yes, I think historical accuracy is important in films even if some movies don't use it. I think it's important because it makes the audience understand the point of the movie and that's really important for a first impression of the audience.
In the scene where Don is going to the party (starting at time code 14:51), we see a street scene as he first rides with Cosmo and then with Kathy. What aspects did the filmmaker include to make the scene look and feel like Don, Cosmo, and Kathy are riding in a car on a street? Think about elements such as scenery, sound, props, lighting, and so on.
The aspects that gave me the impression that they were driving on a street were first the scenery on the back that showed houses and small buildings. The lighting that was a bit darker because it was nighttime and the only light available was the street light. Also the sound effects from normal street and outdoor noises helped me picture the image that they were driving on a street.
A "talkie" picture is shown starting around time code 21:15. How does the audience in the film react to the "talkie"? What influence do audiences have on film and theatre performances? How do film and theatre actors influence audiences?
Surprise catches the audience, they never saw something like that before. For them films were only silent. First, they thought someone was behind the curtain others didn't believe what they were seeing. The influence that audiences have on films are their reaction on the film. They are excepted to have a positive reaction about it. They must like the innovations of the film, the acting and the story itself. Without their reaction, we can't know if the movie was a success or not, so it is important their opinion. Actors can also influence audiences by the way they are in real life and by their acting. They will get a positive reaction from the crowd if they are charismatic with them and act in great and famous movies.
