What stared movies?

Thomas Edison

As we all know movies has been playing for a very long time. Have you ever thought about when it stared? Well we all know that movies were first made black and white without sound. Before that let’s think about all the times that you have watched a movie, now imagine life without movies. Hard isn’t it? For us watching a movie is something that could happen every day. The production of image, along with the production of sound, has changed our world. If we stop for a second and think that less than two centuries ago, none of this existed. The invention of movies was not a sudden idea that come came from a single inventor, many people were involved in making moving pictures. The first movie that appeared was in 1890. There were inventions before this, but they were not truly "movies" they were a lot of still shots , when people saw them very fast they appeared to be moving pictures. Thomas Edison invented the motion pictures to his phonograph. He thought that sound + moving pictures= happy audience, he thought that this would be better than without sound. Many people think that the first movie with sound was invented by Murray Spivak, but as I said above the idea of this was building was in many people’s minds before. Edison and Spivak were some of the people that were involved in making movies com to the main screen. Louis Lumiere and Auguste Lumiere had been thinking about this idea a lot in the early 1890’s. Lumiere brothers created the Cinematographer in 1895. People normally say that the brothers made the first successful mechanism that showed moving pictures. Another person that had been working on this was William Dickson of Edison Laboratories, he had worked on a similar thing called the Kinetoscope, but it allowed only one person at a time to watch the moving images being put on display. The Cinematographer on the other hand could have many people see the same motion picture. As you can see many people played a role to make movies. Today in a normal person watches movies at least once a month, but remember that 2 centuries ago most people that watching a movie was a big deal!movie history
