Silent cinema
Realist
This movement was about films being based in reality and shot and edited as closely to reality as possible. Director style almost didn't exist. the meaning is created by what is seen and not by the editing and cuts. the realist films focused on the characters , issues and it would closely link with everyday problems.
Cinema of attraction
This really on the audience reaction and the immediate experence rather than any sort of narrative.
