2.  A moving picture toy that relies on intermittent
viewing. Through a narrow slit so that you can
see a glimpse of each image. The problem was
that the pictures were dim and hard to see. The
idea is using mirrors to replace the slits and
this made the images much brighter an
blended together to give a smoother effect.

3.  Thomas Edison was one of the first people to
use the 7.6m length way sin film to use onto
kenetpscope parlour. Originally, however, he
wanted to use a film light-sensitive drums. But
his partner William Dickson decided to
produce it with the kodak still camera on the
palour.

4.  Two French brothers staged what is generally
regarded as the very first cinematic showing in
the world, involving projection and audience
payment. They where the manufacturers of
photographic equipment who devised an early
motion-picture camera and projector called
cinematographe.

5.  The great train robbery was the first film to
include editing to create a movie. The film roll
was over 1000 feet long. The film was
produced, and directed by Edwin S. Porter. It
was only 12 minutes long with 18 frames per
second.

6.  He is considered the first cinematic auteur (first
director). He was also the producer of all great
biograph successes, revolutionising motion
picture drama. Griffith created 450 films
between the years from 1908-1911 under the
contract from biograph. His first invention was
the cut in which was first used in the greaser’s
gauntlet.

7.  Alice Guy-Blache ( July 1, 1873 – March 24,
1968) was the first female pioneer in French
cinema. She is referred as the first director and
writer of narrative fiction films, and is seen as a
great visionary who experimented with
Gaumont’s Chronophone sound syncing
system, colour tinting, interracial casting, and
special effects.
