1860s

2D drawings in motion were demonstrated with devices such as

the zoetrope, mutoscope and praxinoscope

Displaying sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures

to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Basis for the

development of film animation


3/15

1870s

Objects in motion in real time were captured with the development of celluloid film

An 1878 experiment by English photographer Eadweard Muybridge (United States)

used 24 cameras to produce a series of stereoscopic images of a galloping horse -

arguably the first "motion picture"

A person had to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were separate

paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank.

1880s

Individual component images were captured and stored on a single reel using motion

picture camera.

Motion picture projector to shine light through the processed and printed film and

magnify these "moving picture shows" onto a screen for an entire audience.


5/15

1890s

The first public exhibition of projected motion pictures in America was shown at Koster

and Bial's Music Hall in New York City on the 23rd of April 1896.

Ignoring W. K. L. Dickson's early sound experiments (1894), commercial motion

pictures were purely visual art through the late 19th century


6/15

1900s

Around the turn of the 20th century, films began developing a narrative structure by

stringing scenes together to tell narratives.

Theater owners would hired a pianist or organist or a full orchestra to play music that

would cover noises of projector.

1910s

The rise of European cinema was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I when the

film industry in United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood, typified most

prominently by the great innovative work of D. W. Griffith in The Birth of a

Nation (1914) and Intolerance (1916)


8/15

1920s

European filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, F. W. Murnau, and Fritz Lang, along

with the contributions of Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton and others, quickly caught up

with American film-making and continued to further advance the medium

Most films came with a prepared list of sheet music, with complete film scores being

composed for major productions. These sound films were initially distinguished by

calling them "talking pictures", or talkies.


9/15

1930s

The next major step in the development of cinema was the introduction of so-called

"natural color"

The pivotal innovation was the introduction of the three-strip version of

the Technicolor process, which was first used for short subjects and for isolated

sequences in a few feature films released in 1934, then for an entire feature film, Becky

Sharp, in 1935


10/15

1950s

In the early 1950s, as the proliferation of black-and-white television started seriously

depressing theater attendance in the US, the use of color was seen as one way of

winning back audiences.

Color television receivers had been available in the US since the mid-1950s


11/15

1960s

After the final flurry of black-and-white film releases in mid-1960s, all major Hollywood

studio film production was exclusively in color, with rare exceptions reluctantly made

only at the insistence of "star" directors such as Peter Bogdanovich and Martin Scorsese

1970s - Till date

Since the decline of the studio system in the 1960s, the succeeding decades saw changes

in the production and style of film

Various New Wave movements (French New Wave, Indian New Wave, Japanese New

Wave and New Hollywood) and the rise of film school educated independent

filmmakers were experienced in the latter half of the 20th century

Digital technology has been the driving force in change throughout the 1990s and into

the 2000s.

3D technology increased in usage and has become more popular since the early 2010s
