Film: The Pathway to a Huge Industry

     In class we all taught each other about history's greatest pathway technologies that got us to where we are today with miniature computers in our hands. A fellow classmate by the name of Alex did a great presentation that was very interesting about the great invention of film and how we got to our present day film industry making ten billion dollars a year! The first "film" to ever be produced was made by a man by the name, eadweard muybridge, who decided to line a bunch of cameras horizontal to a horse running by and rapidly captured an image with each camera to simulate movement being captured. The product that came out when he put the images side by side and created the movement aspect of film. 

    After that discovery, the Lumiére brothers created a Cinématographere which could capture footage and develop the film allowing them to create their first film, Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory. Later on films began to become popular among people and the first feature film called The Story of the Kelly Gang was created which brought the movie theater to life and evolved to such a big business today. Of course after the first feature film it sparked a new technique in many different filmmakers. They began to add special effects, creating a storyline, and even editing the film. This is the innovative thinking that creates such a long-life industry that continues to grow with technology and bring people in with unique experiences with each film. Without this technological innovation, we have cellphones with amazing video abilities and many amazing films and talented people who can create amazing special effects that
allow for an insane experience on the big screen. I am very grateful for this technology and found this presentation very interesting because I am a film fanatic and always love a good movie that grabs my attention.
