Early cinema

The Lumière Brothers, were two brothers that came from France they were the first people to produce a moving image film which was workers living their factory the film was first shown in a cafe in paris on October 19th 1862  the film showed only one thing and that was some people leaving a factory the film had no sound and no editing at all it was short and had zero context too it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQeIRLxaM4 . Inaditon too this all the movies at the time that succeeded it were filmed in the same way which was the camera is placed in front of a stage in the center and their were no close up shots made and it was all done like you were watching a play at a theater however in this time a man called Georges Melies developed a way of cutting the tape of film to add and or take away scene where he wanted too he discovered this by accident when filming a bus and his camera jammed and it was replaced with a horse after he fixed it and reverse it he than used this in many of his moves as a magic trick where people would appear and disappear on film however a trip to the moon became his most famous movie in which he shows off his editing the best it was also one of the longest moves edited at the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNLZntSdyKE . Hever he still only shot his films the way the two brothers did one camere all shot and done like a theater play. It was not until 1915s Birth Of a Nation by D. W. Griffith that a movie would become less like a theater play on stage but truly complexed and layered that move had 18,000 actors used multiple cameras and multiple edits more than any movie before it, it was also the most expensive and had the biggest revenue at the time however it also was a racist movie portraying clans man as heroes but even though of that it was the only movie at the time to fully utilise all the new technology and all the new techniques of the era.
