History of filiming

1. HISTORY OF FILIM Josué Duque Monsalve

2. ORIGIN
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 new 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 mass entertainment industry

3. EARLY PERIOD
In the 1890s, films were seen mostly via temporary storefront spaces
and traveling exhibitors or as acts in vaudeville programs. A film
could be under a minute long and would usually present a single
scene, authentic or staged, of everyday life, a public event, a sporting
event or slapstick. There was little to no cinematic technique, the film
was usually black and white and it was without sound.

4. BIRTH OF MOVIES
The first eleven years of motion pictures show the cinema moving
from a novelty to an established large-scale entertainment industry.
The films represent a movement from films consisting of one shot,
completely made by one person with a few assistants, towards films
several minutes long consisting of several shots, which were made by
large companies in something like industrial conditions.
The year 1900 marks the emergence of the first motion pictures that
can be considered as "films" – at this point, film-makers begin to
introduce basic editing techniques and film narrative.

5. INVENTION AND ADVANCEMENT OF
THE CAMERA
Early movie cameras were fastened to the head of their tripod with
only simple levelling devices provided. These cameras were thus
effectively fixed during the course of the shot, and hence the first
camera movements were the result of mounting a camera on a
moving vehicle. The Lumière brothers shot a scene from the back of a
train in 1896.

6. FILM EDITING AND CONTINUOUS
NARRATIVE
he first films to consist of more than one shot appeared toward the
end of the 19th century, a notable example was the French film of the
life of Jesus Christ,[specify] by Alice Guy. These weren't represented as a
continuous film, the separate scenes were interspersed with lantern
slides, a lecture, and live choral numbers, to increase the running
time of the spectacle to about 90 minutes. Another example of this is
the reproductions of scenes from the Greco-Turkish war, made
by Georges Méliès in 1897. Although each scene was sold separately,
they were shown one after the other by the exhibitors. Even
Méliès' Cendrillon (Cinderella) of 1898 contained no action moving
from one shot to the next one. To understand what was going on in
the film the audience had to know their stories beforehand, or be told
them by a presenter.

7. ANIMATION
The first use of animation in movies was in 1899, with the production
of the short film Matches: An Appeal by British film pioneer Arthur
Melbourne-Cooper- a thirty-second long stop-motion animated
piece intended to encourage the audience to send matches to British
troops fighting the Boer War. The film contains an appeal to send
money to Bryant and May who would then send matches to the troops
fighting in South Africa. It was shown in December 1899 at The
Empire Theatre in London. This film is the earliest known example of
stop-motion animation. Little puppets, constructed of matchsticks,
are writing the appeal on a black wall. Their movements are filmed
frame by frame, movement by movement.
