A Brief History of Cinema

 The first perfected photograph taken of a man on a horse motion by 12 horses. This series of photographs made $25,000. The idea was to create a way to capture motion in pictures, this was the plan for photography. The first step was to get rid of the big bulky camera lens and create strips of light sensitive celluloid film. This made it possible for one camera to take motion pictures, rather than having 12 cameras take a single picture. Apparently a French inventor, Louis Le Prince, was experimenting the motion pictures at the same time. He perfected this technique in 1890. Photography took a while to perfect, but it happened. How a 19th-Century Photographer Made the First 'GIF' of a Galloping Horse |  At the Smithsonian| Smithsonian Magazine

Cinema Goes Hollywood

All production facilities were located in New York in the earlier times. This is because Thomas Edison, who controlled technology, was living in New York at the time. In the 1900's people who wanted to create a movie had to pay Edison for the privilege. This is when people started to want films to be produced in California, they thought it was a much better scene. In 1927, everything for film began to change. One of the brothers, Sam, from Warners Bros. had a vision to have sound in films. This idea, as we can tell, became a huge success. Everything began to change during this time. Movie theaters were being created, sound with movies was happening, and this was all just the beginning for films. The history of films is very interesting, especially because we are so used to how films are today and don't think twice about what they used to look like. The movie industry has came a long way, and I am very happy for that. This chapter demonstrated the idea that you always have to start somewhere. Technologies Used on Movie Sets Today
