The arrival of film created many images , film scenes , news scenes , photographs , quotes , and songs , which became very familiar to regular moviegoers and remained in their collective memory . Images of particular movie stars became part of collective memory . During cinema visits , people could watch newsreels of news stories from around the world . For the first time in history a mass audience was able to view certain stories , events , and scenes , all at the same time . They could all view how for instance the Hindenburg disaster was caught on camera and see and remember these scenes all at once
