The Beginning of Film

The Beginning of Film

• By Desiree Brown

The Start of Cinema

• The magic of cinema today is a dream and a power
  that can be both frightening and a blessing. It
  is because of cinema that we have all the
  convenient technologies and sources of
  entertainment however, what a lot of people
  dont know is that the US was not responsible for
  the starting of it, Only the perfection of it
  said Mr. Seller.

The Lumiere Brothers

• The Lumiere brothers were born in France and
  worked in a factory that manufactured
  photographic equipment. Inspired by Thomas
  Edisons work, they created the Cinematograph. A
  hand held devise that could project movie images
  simply by cranking it into action. Their
  invention was later patented in February, 1895.

US Development

• When the Lumiere brothers invention made it
  across the Atlantic to the Unites States
  photographic companies made a standard piece of
  equipment for all filming and photography.

Edisons Best

• The first motion picture was invented by Edison
  and his assistant William Dickson. The pictures
  would roll in a giant box projecting moving
  images through what looked like binoculars, where
  the viewer would watch a short film. This was the
  Kinetoscope. Even though people think Edison was
  the one who invented this it was really Dickson.
  Edison only provided research and information to
  complete and perfect the Kinetograph.

The entertainment battle

• After Edison claimed the Kinetograph to be his
  invention his company started to make and do more
  films as the public demanded. But it was not
  always meant to be about him. Other companies
  began to form, creating and producing more films
  and instead of having people look through holes
  to watch a film, projectors were made to show up
  on screens of white so whole groups could see.

Edisons Throw Down

• From 1893 to 1911 the Edisons Manufacturing
  Company held on to its power within the filming
  industry but a couple years after the Lumiere
  Brothers invention was made and other companies
  were made, Edison was overwhelmed by all and
  eventually lost the fight to keep his company
  going. Loosing to new inventions and perfections
  of to his own by other companies such as the
  American Vitograph Company. Edisons biggest
  compitition.

Where Film is Now

• After a few years film was taken to a whole new
  level making illusion and special affects a
  reality. Today everything technical devise has
  access to videos, movies, music, reality shows
  and so on. We owe this all to those first men who
  turned film into what it is today and the truth
  would be that it is pure magic.
