19th century |
1870s |
The decade of the 1990s in film involved many significant developments in the industry of cinema. [1] Numerous feature-length movies were specifically filmed or edited to be displayed on both theater screens as well as the smaller TV screens, like showing close-up shots during dialogue scenes rather than just wide-angle shots in a room. The home video market also grew into being a major factor in the total revenue of a theatrical film, often doubling the amount.
