History of films
Eadweard Muybridge was the first to capture movement in photographs in 1878. In 1894, Thomas Edison invented the first motion picture camera and made the first film. The earliest films were silent, black-and-white, and had exaggerated movements or title cards to convey the story. The first commercial sound film was 1927's "The Jazz Singer". Major film studios emerged in Hollywood in the 1930s-1940s, producing films starring famous actors. Computer animation arrived in 1995 with Pixar's "Toy Story", the first fully computer-animated film. Today, films utilize advanced visual effects to tell emotionally compelling stories.

Hollywood
This document provides an overview of the history and significance of Hollywood. It describes how Hollywood began as an ordinary district near Los Angeles but became the epicenter of the global film industry due to its suitable location and climate. Major events and figures that shaped the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1920s-1960s are outlined, including the founding of influential studios like MGM and awards like the Oscars. Famous films, stars, and landmarks that solidified Hollywood's status as a dream factory and tourist destination are also mentioned.
Warp Films vs Working Title
Warp Films and Working Title Films are two British film production companies that differ in several key ways. Warp Films is more traditionally British, producing films focused on domestic stories and audiences with less American influence. Working Title has stronger ties to American partners like Universal Studios and is known for bigger-budget films that appeal more broadly. Both companies started by producing short films that led to funding for feature-length productions. However, Working Title is now a larger company better able to utilize larger budgets for effects-heavy genres like sci-fi that Warp Films typically avoids for financial reasons.

Film and cinema have developed significantly since the late 19th century. The kinetoscope, invented in 1891, was the first device to display moving images but could only be viewed by one person at a time. In 1894, the phantoscope was invented, allowing for the first public projections of films. The Lumiere brothers' 1895 cinématographe was a more portable projector that helped popularize moving pictures. By the early 1900s, narrative films like The Great Train Robbery emerged, and sound was introduced to films with The Jazz Singer in 1927. Major developments in the 1970s included the rise of the blockbuster film and higher budgets, exemplified by the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar
