CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

CINEMA
Cinema is a film, a story recorded as set of moving pictures to be
shown on screen of a theatre house and television. It is a channel of
expression and communication. The cinema is one of the most
important inventions of modern science. It was invented by Edison,
An American scientist. It is a medium of instruction as well as
recreation. The cinema plays an important role in the social, political,
educational and moral life.
The history of film began in the late 1880s with the invention of the
first movie camera. Motion pictures were initially exhibited as a
carnival novelty and developed to one of the most important tools of
communication and entertainment, and mass media in the 20th
century and into the 21st century. Most films before 1930 were
silent. Motion picture films have substantially affected the arts,
technology, and politics.


The movie theatre was considered a cheaper, simpler way to provide
entertainment to the masses. Movies became the most popular visual
art form of the late Victorian age. It was simpler because before the
cinema people would have to travel long distances to see major
dioramas or amusement parks. With the advent of the cinema this
changed. During the first decade of the cinema's existence, inventors
worked to improve the machines for making and showing films.
On June 15, 1878, under the sponsorship of Leland Stanford, Edward
Muybridge successfully photographed a horse named "Sallie
Gardner" in fast motion using a series of 24 stereoscopic cameras.
tienne-Jules Marey invented a chrono photographic gun in 1882,
which was capable of taking 12 consecutive frames a second,
recording all the frames on the same picture. William Kennedy Laurie
Dickson, chief engineer with the Edison Laboratories, is credited with
the invention of a practicable form of a celluloid strip containing a
sequence of images, the basis of a method of photographing and
projecting moving images
The Lumiere brothers, Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas, and Louis Jean
were the earliest filmmakers in history.


INDIAN CINEMA
Cinema has become the most influential art form of 20th century
from its marginal beginnings. India holds eminent position in film
making in the world. It produces highest number of films every year.
The screening of the Lumiere moving pictures in London (1895)
cinema became a sensation across Europe and by July 1896 the
Lumiere films had been in show in Bombay. The first Indian film
released in India was Shree pundalik a silent film in Marathi by
Dadasaheb Torne on 18 May 1912 at 'Coronation Cinematograph',
Mumbai.
The first full-length motion picture in India was produced by
Dadasaheb Phalke, Dadasaheb is the pioneer of Indian film industry a
scholar on India's languages and culture, who brought together
elements from Sanskrit epics to produce his Raja Harishchandra
(1913), a silent film in Marathi.
The 1970s did, nevertheless, see the rise of commercial cinema in
form of enduring films such as Sholay (1975).



MALAYALAM CINEMA
The cinema of Kerala (also known as Molly wood, Malayalam cinema,
Malayalam film industry) is the Indian film industry based in Kerala,
India, dedicated to the production of motion pictures in the
Malayalam language.
The first film to be made in Malayalam was Vigathakumaran.
Production started in 1928, and it was released in Trivandrum
Capitol Theatre on 23 October 1930. It was produced and directed by
J. C. Daniel, a businessman with no prior film experience, who is
credited as the father of Malayalam cinema. Daniel founded the first
film studio, The Travancore National Pictures Limited, in Kerala. The
first cinema hall in Kerala, with a manually operated film projector,
was opened in Trissur by K. W. Joseph in 1907. In 1913, the first
electrically operated film projector was established.



NEW GENERATION FILMS
New generation films characterized by fresh and unusual themes.
The films of new wave differed from conventional themes of the past
decade and introduced several new trends to the industry. By this
dialogues got more real, closer to life and central characters became
ordinary. Rise of metro-centric and middle-class/urban themes,
female-oriented films and change in perspectives were also noted.
Some of these films are criticized for explicit language and
provocative themes, often under the guise of bold or modern themes
and promoting the use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
INFLUENCE OF CINEMA
Films may depart from reality; still others use the limitations of it to
tell stories that can be seen in everyday life. Whichever the fashion,
movies have the ability to teach us things, and these lessons have for
better or worse influenced us with love, hope, anger, tragedy, humor,
excitement, adventure and an ever-growing sense of wonder. The
cinema, it is said, can serve as a good medium of education and
instruction, and the message that can be conveyed through films
cannot be conveyed as effectively through any other channel.


GOOD EFFECTS OF CINEMA
1) Entertainment
2) Creates fashion and trend
3) Encourages the creativity and talents
4) Conveys good message
5) Provides Knowledge

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CINEMA
1) The film censors seem to be more liberal than ever and allow sex
and violent scenes which have a bad effect on the mental make-up of
youth. Visiting the cinemas too often at the cost of class lectures and
by missing lectures also spoils the education of youth. Instead of
imbibing the basic virtues of life, youth begin to think of flirting and
seducing, like the screen heroes.
2) The youth imbibe negative social values. Both rural and urban
youth thus fall victims to vicious temptations.
3) Thousands of young boys and girls have virtually ruined
themselves in the senseless quest for becoming cinema "stars".


4) Usage of tobacco, alcohol and drugs are becoming more common
as a style factor.
5) Causes money loss in a great amount by the expense of cinema
tickets and travel expense.



CHAPTER.2
OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY



Rationale of the study
Cinema has become the most influential art form in every part of the
world. India holds eminent position in film making in the world. It
produces highest number of films every year. Whatever may be the
quality of the film, they continue to be the popular mass media.
Earlier, cinema was a simple means of mechanical recording,
preserving and reproducing moving visual images.
Cinema is a powerful medium. That is the most-clicked sentence that
one gets to hear or read, but it is also the most truthful. A film can
change someones life for better or worse and forever. Cinema might
be a double-edged sword, but human beings, who are armed with the
sixth sense and ingenuity, are experts in using such tools to their
advantage.

OBJECTIVES
1. To determine the relevance of cinema
2. To find out the attitude of youth towards cinema
3. To find out the importance of cinema in building habits


4. To check the influence of cinema in Personal life, career
and life style
5. To evaluate the nature of todays cinema

Clarification of concepts
Cinema
Cinema is an art form where artists are acted in a way to
satisfy the story of it. Cinema is a series of still images
which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of
moving images. A film is created by photographing actual
scenes with a motion picture camera

Youth
Youth is generally the time of life between childhood and
adulthood. Youth is also defined as "the appearance, freshness,
vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young". Youth is a
term used for people of both sexes, male and female, of a young
age.


Methodology
Methodology includes a collection of theories, concepts or ideas as
they relate to a particular discipline or field of inquiry. The
researcher is planning to do the study by the direct contact and
observations made among the youth in Trivandrum city.

Sample
From among the youth in Trivandrum city, 50 persons were chosen
for analysis and among them 32 were male and 18 were female.
Sampling Area and Duration
Within duration of fifteen days, educational institutions, cinema
theatres within city limits were approached.

Data collection
For this study, the primary data has been collected by interviewing the
chosen sample. Secondary data includes information from books, journals
and internet.
Tools of data collection
Interview schedule was the major instrument used and the respondents
showed interest to fill up handed out interview schedule. Questions were


put up to understand the personal details, preference towards cinema
genre, attitude towards movies and the impact the respondents felt which
cinema had on them. Even though the questions were closed, adequate
alternatives were given.

Data Analysis
After the data is collected through observations or enquiry, we must
prepare them for presentations and analysis. Here data collected was
constituted in tables after the percentages of the different responses for
different variables were calculated. Bar diagrams has been used to present
the interesting data.

Limitations of study
Most of the respondents were hesitated to respond truly toward the
bad habits they are having such as drugs consumption and smoking.
However, eventually it was possible to fulfill the main aims and
objectives of this study in a desired manner. The findings of the
study are solely based on the information provided by the
respondents.



CHAPTER.3



Going to the pictures has now become a craze with young
people, both boys and girls, and it has been noticed that they
often economize on other items of expenditure but they
must see films every week, if not twice or thrice a week. A
healthy hobby is, of course, to be welcomed but seeing films
too frequently is far from such a hobby.
This fast growing habit is not only expensive (because of the
high rates of admission to cinema halls) but also results in
considerable waste of precious time which can certainly be
devoted to healthier, less wasteful and more gainful
pursuits.
If Indian films had been well and properly made, with a
sound educative theme forming a part of the story, the harm
done to youth would have been much less than it actually is.
But the tragedy is that most Indian films present scenes of
sex, violence, crime and other deviations from normal


human behaviour. The pernicious influence of films is thus
obvious.
When grossly vulgar and crude romantic scenes are
presented on the screen, along with songs and duets, and
when boys are shown chasing girls, indulging in improper
jokes, and singing catchy, lilting tunes, it is no wonder that
young boys imitate the screen heroes in everyday life and
try to convert what they see in films into realities.
Education and other experts have repeatedly found that the
main source of eve teasing and assaults on girls in our towns
and cities, in the market place and elsewhere, is the cinema.
Young people see on the screen a hero running after a
heroine, approaching and tempting her in subtle ways. Such
talk and gestures naturally catch the attention of the
immature cinema fans and affect their thinking and conduct.
Thus, the social fabric and the morals of the young people
are adversely affected.


The efforts of parents and teachers to give their boys and
girls sound education and to teach them good, ethical
behaviour and good morals in order that they may become
good citizens are thus defeated. The parents' own hard-
earned money is spent by their grown-up boys and girls in
watching films which have an adverse impact on character
and morals, apart from queering the pitch for the training
for good citizenship.
The cinema, it is said, can serve as a good medium of
education and instruction, and the message that can be
conveyed through films cannot be conveyed as effectively
through any other channel, such as the radio, because of the
colourful, visual impact made by gorgeously dressed girls
conducting themselves in a particular fashion, defying their
parents and guardians, challenging their judgment,
describing them as old-fashioned etc., walking out of their
houses at odd hours and sometimes marrying the hero


secretly and then creating awkward situations or giving
major shocks to their parents.
The love scenes, the amorous couples, the stereotyped
formula stories and the eternal triangle all create an effect
that is far from healthy or conducive to good morals and
good conduct.
Young boys and girls are attracted by the affluence and
glamour they see on the screen, and there are many cases of
youth either running away from home or pressing their
parents to let them go to Bombay to try their luck in
Bollywood.
Each cinema-crazy boy and girl (especially those having an
attractive personality) thinks he or she can prosper like -he
heroes and the "stars" seen on the screen. All the stories
they hear of top "stars" being paid lakhs of rupees for each
film and living in grand style proves irresistible.


Thousands of young boys and girls have virtually ruined
themselves in the senseless quest for becoming cinema
"stars". Only a handful of talented actors and actresses
prosper, while most of the young aspirants have to face
intense frustration and utter disappointment because
everyone cannot become a cinema hero or heroine. Most of
them have to remain content with secondary or supporting
roles, sometimes not even that.
Another notable aspect of the situation is that whenever
some enterprising producer presents a simple, true-to-life
story, based on the works of famous short story or fiction
writers as Prem Chand or Sarat Chandra, such films, and also
art films free of glamour, seldom prove successful and prove
to be flops at the box office. The modern audiences want
songs and dances, spectacle and gorgeous costumes, love
scenes and fights. What sort of citizens can the country hope
to produce when the films the young see are totally
misleading, lack aesthetical values.


The film censors also seem to be more liberal than ever and
allow sex and violent scenes which have a bad effect on the
mental make-up of youth. Visiting the cinemas too often at
the cost of class lectures and by missing lectures also spoils
the education of youth. Instead of imbibing the basic virtues
of life, our youth begin to think of flirting and seducing, like
the screen heroes.
The youth imbibe negative social values. Both rural and
urban youth thus fall victims to vicious temptations. It is not
contended that there should be a total ban on films. But
steps should certainly be taken to see that good instructive
films are made, not trash and ruinous presentations merely
to cater to cheap tastes.
IMPACT OF CINEMA ON SOCIAL LIFE
When man comes home after days work, he needs some sort
of entertainment and relaxation. Cinema has proved a
wonderful and forceful means of entertainment and
amusement. A young man of today can go without food but


not without a film. The cinema is the cheapest and the most
popular form of amusement. Laborers can afford to miss
their evening meal, not their evening show.
Students prefer films to reading books. Thus, cinema
exercises a very powerful effect on society.
Cinema is a universal teacher. It educates the people in
different branches of learning. Our film producers have
made very purposeful films to collect public opinion against
some of the social evils as dowry system, the labour
exploitation. It can teach us natural history, geography,
botany, chemistry etc. Documentary films lead us to a street
in New York are to a park of Tokyo.
These films increase our knowledge, broaden our outlook.
Social pictures throw light on social evils as untouchability,
casteism, unemployment and the curse of widowhood, etc.
These films ripen our eyes and create in us an urge for
improvement.


Cinema has a great commercial value also. It is itself a great
industry, Lacs of men and women are directly or indirectly
employed in this industry. It is a good and easy means of
advertisement. Things and articles can be shown in practical
use through the films.
Most of the modern Indian movies ignore higher ideals. It is
wrong to say that the public wants vulgarity. Too much
cinema going is injurious to eyesight, health and purse. Bad
films leave a very vitiating effect on the minds of youth. They
give rise to different kinds of crimes. The vulgar obscene
pictures should not be allowed to be exhibited. They cause
morality in society.
The films which make the people gamblers, dacoits, etc.
should totally be banned. The traders of film industry should
not be ill owed to profit by showing sensual scenes and
physical demonstration of love. These films effect the moral
character of young boys and girls badly.


Cinema, on the whole, is a powerful means of recreation as
well as of education. It is not itself bad. The film producers
should select good stories classical mythology, historical
subjects and Indian literary master-pieces. Documentary
films on scientific, historical and literary subjects should be
shown to students. The producers are misusing cinema for
making huge profits.
It should be moral duty of producers to produce noble and
inspiring films. The Government should take care of this. If
cinema industry produces noble and inspiring films, the
cinema would be a true friend, philosopher and guide of the
masses.

CONCLUSION



CONCLUSION
From the study conducted among youth it is clear that they
are attracted towards cinema. They prefer to visit cinema at
least once a month. Storyline of the film has more
importance while selecting cinema, director and cast are
also other factors which affect the selection of cinema.
Friends are preferred to be with while watching cinema,
partners are also equally preferred but parents have the
least preference.
Cinema is fully influenced to the life for youth, but some
features of cinema can influence the life. Style factor is the
most widely attracted feature from cinema. But some among
the youth gets attracted to nonsocial elements such as
alcohol, tobacco and drugs consumption. So it can be said
that cinema has two phases, from which one is positive and
other is negative. Youth has an opinion that cinema does not
become a deciding factor in life but it will encourage them to


select a career. Also cinema has the ability to promote other
art forms like music dance etc.
New generation movies have good impact on youth as they
are more bold and real in nature and so they says that it has
social commitment as it is enough bold to handle any kind of
subject as story.
Movies are created to provide refreshment and recreation to
people. Not only for recreation, they create awareness about
happenings in our surroundings. But now a days movies had
a great impact on not only youth but also on children. Impact
mainly depends on us, any movie will have bad and good
and it is ourselves shall able to distinguish between them. If
we take positive things in a movie we definitely have a
positive impact.
Now a days, creation of movie become completely
commercial, nobody is thinking of the society, they thinking
only about money. There are also movies that make us to


wake up. On the other hand film industry is giving livelihood
to many artists, technicians etc. Coming to the point of
youth, youth is a part of life where we get much to enjoy. In
any stage of life, we do not have that much power and
enthusiasm and also time to watch movies. Youth as grown-
up, they should make themselves to grasp good things in a
movie. Movies have a power to make the world and break
the world.
