Motion pictures are a series of still photographs projected rapidly in succession to create the illusion of smooth movement. Several inventors experimented with ways to view sequential photographs, leading to the zoetrope which allowed viewing images in rapid succession. Further innovations like the kinetograph camera and kinetoscope projector allowed capturing and projecting moving images. There are three main types of motion pictures - documentaries which relay real events, experimental films which play with the medium's capabilities, and fictional films based on imagination. Key characteristics of motion pictures include their ability to intensely hold attention, achieve intimacy through detail, and give an impression of being everywhere through camera movement. Advantages include compelling attention, making experiences feel firsthand, editing reality, and potentially influencing

4. What is Motion Picture?
Series of still photographs on film,
projected in rapid succession onto a
screen by means of light. Because of the
optical phenomenon known as persistence
of vision, this gives the illusion of actual,
smooth, and continuous movement The
motion picture is a remarkably effective
medium in conveying drama and especially
in the evocation of emotion.

5. A Walk through the History of
Motion Picture

6. Setting Photography in Motion
Experimenting with ways to
exhibit photographs, several
inventors came up with
simpleton that made it possible
for a series pictures to be viewed
in rapid succession, creating the
illusion of motion. It was called a
ZOETROPE

7. A wager
Scientific American published a series of pictures
depicting a horse in full gallop, along with instructions to
view them through the Zoetrope.

8. Rudimentary Projector
Zoogyroscope – a sequential photo projector

9. 12 Pictures per Second
Etienne-Jules Marey, studies of
animals in motion drove him to
experiment with photography,
and he fashioned a camera that
could take12 pictures per second
of a moving object. The technique
called chronophotograph.

10. The Kinetograph
kinetograph- a primitive picture camera
kinetoscope- a machine that could project the moving images
onto a screen.

11. Everyday Images
Cinematography- a projector that could show 16 frames per
second.

13. Types of Motion Pictures

14. • Documentary mode in corporate those films relying
primarily on cinemas power to relay events in the world.
• Experimental includes the variety of approaches that have
listed and played with the technological limits and capabilities
of the medium, Including animated (non-photographic) and
computer generated images.
• Fictional this film is based on imagination of the writer of
the film. The characters and events help convince the
audience that the film is real. The audience assume that the
characters and the events is really happening in the reality.

15. Essential Characteristics of Motion Pictures
Intensity, intimacy, ubiquity
Its intensity derives from its power to hold the complete
attention of the spectator on whatever bit of reality is being shown.
The intimacy of the film image is related to the camera's ability
to see things in greater detail than the eye can.
The impression of ubiquity - being everywhere at once is
achieved in part by the camera's apparent freedom to move from place
to place or to approach or withdraw

16. Particularity
The language of words lends itself to generalization and
abstraction. Motion pictures, on the other hand, only show
particular things and may also be ambiguous in that it shows
but does not explain.
Neutrality
The world people see around them is strongly
influenced by their emotions and their interests.

17. What are the Advantages of
Motion Picture?

1. Select proper film
2. Check everything before showing film

20. What are the Disadvantages of
Motion Picture?

21. • Fixed Pace - cannot be interrupted.
• Still Phenomena - motion picture is sometimes unsuitable to
other topics such as those involving a map, a writing
diagram, etc.
• Misinterpretation - in documentaries and dramatization,
especially, intended messages are quite deep and complex.
• Cost - equipment and materials for motion media are
expensive
