Motion pictures emerged in the late 19th century as a new art form that uses a series of photographs projected in rapid succession to give the illusion of continuous movement. Early inventors like Charles Emile Reynaud created devices like the praxinoscope to display moving images. The first motion picture camera was invented by Thomas Edison in the 1880s. Over time, technologies like sound, color, 3D, and digital recording were added to movies to enhance the cinematic experience. Today, major Hollywood studios produce and distribute most major motion pictures using sophisticated special effects and production techniques.

2. What is Motion Picture
•Motion Picture also known as film or movie, series of photographs
on film, projected in rapid succession
onto a screen by means of light.
• Because of the optical phenomena known
as persistence of vision, this gives the
illusion of actual, smooth and
continuous movement.
• Emerging at the end of the 19th century, this new art form became one of
the most popular and influential media of the 20th century and beyond.

3. The Beginning
• Charles Emile Reynaud invented the Praxinoscope.
Praxinoscope:
A device that has drum with hand-drawn pictures,
each one a little different then the last, and
many little mirrors at the center of the
drum that, when turned, look like
the pictures are moving.

4. History
• By 1852, photographs begin to replace hand-drawn pictures.
• Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre first invented the Daguerre process
which was the first way of producing permanent picture on a silver
coated copper plate.
• Later, Henry Fox of England invented the chemical process, called the
photogenic drawing, that produced negative images on paper. He
later invented calotype process which produced visible images
outside of a camera by bathing the negatives with a specific chemical
solution.

5. The first moving Pictures
•Coleman Sellers invented the Kinematoscope, which
made posed pictures seem to move when they were
placed on a turning paddlewheel.
•Later Thomas Edison and his assistant
invented Kinetoscope that ran
about 15m of film in an endless
loop that showed a moving picture.
(i.e. first real moving picture camera recorder)

6. First form of editing
•Edwin S. Porter filmed different shots in one reel of
film for his short-film “The Great Train Robbery” in 1903.
•In early 1900s, short movies, made up of one or
two reels of film, were filmed in silence hence
its named as “Silent Movies”.

7. Sound films
•In 1926, Warner Brothers studio was the
first to introduce films with sound with
the process called Vitaphone.
•First Sound Film “The Jazz Singer” was
released in 1927.
• Microphones allowed for the dialogue in a movie to have more
emotion and to be less stiff.

8. Beauty of Color
•Color movies were first filmed in 1935, but
color really took off in the 1950s.
• Some film producers even hastily added
color to their films because of the high
demand even after they had started filming
in black and white.
•In 1953, 20th century fox studio made a film with wide-screen
revolution called Cinemascope.

9. Beginning of 3D Films
• For a short time in the 1950s, 3D
films were made by 2 cameras
filming the same scene but from
two different points.
• However, it was not very popular
at that time because it was
unfocused and glasses weren’t
the best.

10. THX Sounds System
• In 1983, the THX was developed by Tomlinson Holman at George
Lucas’s company.
• The THX sound system is a system that enables for sound to be heard
well from any area in the theatre.

11. Present Day Films

12. • In the present, many movies have been filmed in a green screen and
have special effect or CGIs were added.
• More and more special effects are used in every film.
• Camera recorders are now digital and in high definition.

13. Hollywood Studio
• Studio system is a method of film production and distribution by a
small number of “major” studios in Hollywood.
• Hollywood is dominated by six movie studios, all engaged in bith
producing and distributing movies.

14. • Six movie studios:
Paramount
Disney
Columbia
20th Century-Fox
Universal
Warner
