THE INVENTION OF MOVING PICTURES
By Yoshiki NishinoAnd Robert Stok
MOVING PICTURES
Do you watch TV, go to the cinema or play computer games? all this would not be possible if moving pictures had not been invented
Today we can’t imagine a world without moving pictures but about hundred years ago they didn’t have anything!Fortunately two French brothers were working on an idea
A short history of the Lumiere brothers• In 1862 and 1864 the Lumiere brothers were born in
Besançon, France
• In 1870 they moved to Lyon and went to La Martiniere, the largest technical school in Lyon
• In 1892 the Lumiere brothers began to create moving pictures
• in 1995 the Lumiere brothers finished their machine and called it the cinematograph
• The very same year they patented it and held their first public screening
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE LUMIERE BROTHERS
Louis Lumiere
Auguste Lumiere
The cinematographThe Lumiere brothers cinematograph looked very peculiarHere is a diagram to help you understand how it works
Wheels for holding and turning the film
Torch to project the picture
Crank handleFor turning film
The torch shines through the moving line of film that is cranked by the handle to project a picture
The pictures are changed at a very high rate, making it look like its moving
• Family's could go to a cinema to watch a movie together
• New jobs were available
• Cinemas opened up all over the place
• When TVs were invented people could have personal entertainment
• The rich could go to great music halls, play polo or go hunting
• The poor had to make do with things such as fishing or going to a cheap play while children played with hoops or dolls
• There wasn’t many jobs available for entertainment
• There wasn’t much indoor entertainment apart from board games
WHAT CHANGED?before after
Today we have inventions such as…
• The IPhone
• 3d cinemas
• Film cameras
• Skype
• Video games
• And Johnny Depp
But all with not have been possible without the invention of moving pictures
Development until todayThe cinematograph started a spark, a spark. That spark then led an inventor named john baird to build the worlds first TV. The TV was later improved by 3 inventors who made a system that worked with electricity. Then British inventor Charles Babbage invented the computer. Soon all kinds of new inventions were being made
Life today
THE FUTURE
The present is already very advanced with HD TV and 3D cinema. The future is probably going to keep on improving these things but is also going to research completely new things. First generations of artificial intelligences have already been made and invisible coats are in development.
EPILOGUE
Until today many things have been different and many things have been done in different ways. Things such as smart boards for teaching, cameras for security and movies for entertainment. This just goes to show what humans can do with a basic idea.
