Filmmaking began when Joseph Nicéphore invented photography. Since that time,
it has been possible to take a physical image of something. Filmmaking really
started when the Thaumatrope was invented. After that, scientists made different devices.
Phenakistoscopes, Zootropes, Zoetropes,Praxinoscopes and
Kinetoscopes were made. Then, a great experiment was conducted. Mr. E. Muybridge
created a sort of flip book by
setting up a row of cameras and
then having an animal walk across the background. Then he programed every one
of the cameras to go off one after the other. The animal was photographed in
every single position so that people could study the
animal's movements. Later, Mr. Muybridge's pictures were displayed in the University of. Once film
projectors were invented, a lot of people could study things such as a jaguar
pouncing, an ostrich walking or a horse trotting. These things were new to
them. Nobody had seen these
things before. Soon, scientists invented a way to record their movements using
a single camera. They no longer had to take a lot of pictures using a row of
cameras. The video camera had
been born.
