An eccentric invention that changed the world

THE

INVENTION OF MOVING PICTURES

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

looked very peculiar

Here is a diagram to

help you understand

how it works

Wheels for

Crank handle

For 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 today

The 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.
