Oral traditions
Definition:
when someone is told a story and wants to preserve their culture,
myth or legend and then is passed down from one generation to the
next until it comes to the present day in today’s society they come
across in songs, stories or poems but as they are passed down they
can be slightly changed or tweaked but they all mean the same from
when it was begun generations before.
The Origin of Oral Tradition:
It is believed that Oral traditon has been spoken since mankind has
been able to communicate with each other. Nobody can put their finger
on when it was most popular as it still continues in the modern day,
although we have many known myths that originate from countries all
over the world like Greece with their greek mythology (
Zeus,Hades,Posiden when they defeated the Titans) also we have the
stories from the Medieval times ( The ledgend of Merlin and Robin
hood)
Examples in real life

usually combined with speech song and dance to portray a real life
event or a imaginative one and presented it to a audience.
The Origin of Theatres:
Theatres can be dated back over centuries ago approximately around
Ancient Greece, through the ages the theatre it has had its ups and
downs but when it came to western Europe it became popular very fast
it was introduced around the mid 16th
century.
Text
Definition:
It is a representation of written language, text can be presented in
many different ways such as mobile phones, computers, books and
documents.
The Origin of Text:
written language originated mainly in Ancient Egypt when the
Egyptians used hieroglyphics which were like symbols, although text
didn’t truly come forward until the Bronze age which is as early
as the 7th
Millennium BC. In my opinion text is mainly used in today’s modern
society as it is more widely used as the technology is more greater
than it was 100 years ago.
Film

A long length presentation of real events, or ones of imagination.
They are shown at either the cinema's or a home cinema where you are

of mediums such as: DVD's, Blu-Ray or using subscriptions such as
LoveFilm.
The Origins of Film:
The film indusrty started around the late 1880's with the invention
of the very first movie camera, but mainly all of the films were
silent with films based on charlie chaplin. In early 1900's the
advancements of technology it has gone from a novelty item to one of
the most important form of entertainment industry and in my opinion
films are mostly popular in todays society.
