Movies, also known as films, are
a type of visual communication which
use moving pictures and sound to
tell stories or inform (help people to

4. History of films.
The history of film began in the 1890s,
when motion picture cameras were invented
and film production companies started to be
established. Because of the limits of
technology, films of the 1890s were under a
minute long and until 1927 motion pictures
were produced without sound.
The first decade of motion picture saw film
moving from a novelty to an established
large-scale entertainment industry. The films
became several minutes long consisting of
several shots.
The first rotating camera for taking panning
shots was built in 1898.
The first film studios were built in 1897.
Special effects were introduced and film
continuity, involving action moving from one
sequence into another, began to be used.
In the 1900s, continuity of action across
successive shots was achieved and the first
close-up shot was introduced (that some
claim D. W. Griffithinvented). Most films of
this period were what came to be called
5. History of films. (continued)
The first use of animation in movies
was in 1899.
The first feature length multi-reel film
was a 1906 Australian production.
The first successful permanent theatre
showing only films was "The
Nickelodeon" in Pittsburgh in 1905. By
1910, actors began to receive screen
credit for their roles, and the way to the
creation of film stars was opened.
Regular newsreels were exhibited from
1910 and soon became a popular way
for finding out the news.

films had the largest share of the
market in Australia and in all European
countries except France.

watching movies.
