 The word Cinema is derived as a shortened form of 
cinematograph (an instrument) or cinematography (an art of 
visualization through camera that captures moving images) 
 Early filmmaking owes a lot to photography techniques 
developed by Louis Daguerre (1787- 1851) and Joseph Niepce 
(1765- 1833) in France. 
 Edward Muybridge, an English photographer captured a horse 
in motion in 1879 which can be marked as one of the earliest 
attempts of motion pictures in the world.

 They developed an equipment which was built on the principles 
of still photography but could capture moving images. It was 
called Cinematograph. 
 Arrival of train in a station, a naughty boy with a gardener and 
workers coming out of a factory are some of the noted works and
