     One of the wonders of this modern world is the art of making moving pictures. The 19th century was a time of great discoveries and inventions. In 1895 the Lumiere brothers gave the world’s first real cinematograph show in Paris to an audience of 33 people.

     In 1894, two French brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, heard about the kinetoscope, a machine that Thomas Edison had invented in the USA in 1889. It was a box which contained a strip of filmed photographs. The photos were moved past a light in the box, so when you looked into the box, the image scanned to move. It took more than fifteen metres of film to make a “movie” of twenty seconds. The Lumiere brothers developed this idea and built a similar machine which projected the pictures onto a screen. They called it the Cinematograph and in 1895 they showed ten films. The “moving pictures” as entertainment was born. The first film the Lumiere brothers showed was “The Arrival of a Train at a Station”. So exciting was the experience that some members of the audience half expected the train to rush out at them from the screen.

    In 1895 they showed nine films more. The first film theatre was opened in 1905, in Pittsburgh, USA. The first films were silent, but in 1920s, sound was developed. In 1927, cinema-goers were able to hear, for the first time, dialogue and music in The Jazz Singer. Technicolor appeared in 1932. Before then, each picture in a film had been painted by hand.

      In 1950s there were a lot of developments based on new technology, for example, wide-screen processes and stereophonic sound. You sat in the cinema in front of an enormous screen and you could hear the sounds of voices or horses or cars moving from one side of the screen to the other. You felt as if you were actually in the picture. By the end of 20th century, cinema audiences had got used to even more special effects, using computer graphics and other new techniques to produce spectacular films. 1.
