History of Video Technological Production

By Nathan Fisher

This was first recorded in the 400’s by a Chinese philosopher named Mo Ti. He said it would be a inverted image from captured light in a dark place, which is now known as the pinhole principle.

The First Main Idea of a Camera

Early pictures were created using this, which was light passing through sensitive paper. When light hits an object, the light is reflected in different directions, and only those who reflect in the right directions pass through the holes in the right places will go through the holes and form an image on sensitive paper.

Pinhole Principle

The first working camera was invented around 1000 AD, called the Camera Obscura, a pinhole camera.

The images it showed were upside down. It was mostly used for viewing and drawing

purposes, mostly by artists trying to be more precise

First Color Photography

In 1906, a man named Lee De Forest discovered that a small voltage could control an electrical current in a tube he created, resulting in the creation of electronics. This is also why we call the TV “the Tube”.

The Tube

Fritz Pfleumer patented the idea of putting magnetic powder on strips of paper or film.
