The Movie Industry

Description

Movies are created by a rapid series of photographs called frames. An optical defect in our eyes called retinal persistence creates the impression that we are watching continuous movement. This program gives a brief history of cinema, including Edison and the beginnings of the movie industry and the Kinescope. We’ll also cover important figures from the beginning of movie-making, including the Lumiere brothers, George Melies, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton.
