The Moving Image (1600s)

Light is invented through a small hole or lens from outside and projected onto a surface of screen by GIAMBATTISTA DELLA PORTA. He creates a moving image but it was not preserved in a recording.

Praxinoscope and Zoetrope (1860)

Praxinoscope and Zoetrope or Mutoscope were outgrowths of simple optical devices and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision.

Experiment of Edward (1878)

It became possible to directly capture objects in motion in real time. An 1878 experiment by Eadweard Muybridge in the United States using 24 cameras produced a series of stereoscopic images of a galloping horse, arguably the first "motion picture," though it was not called by this name. This technology required a person to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were separate paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank. The pictures were shown at a variable speed of about 5 to 10 pictures per second, depending on how rapidly the crank was turned. Commercial versions of these machines were coin operated.

Motion picture Camera (1888)

By the 1880s the development of the motion picture camera allowed the individual component images to be captured and stored on a single reel, and led quickly to the development of a motion picture projector to shine light through the processed and printed film and magnify these "moving picture shows" onto a screen for an entire audience. These reels, so exhibited, came to be known as "motion pictures". Early motion pictures were static shots that showed an event or action with no editing or other cinematic techniques.

Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894s-1895)

There had been experiments to synchronize a disc recording to the picture. But in 1894 end, William Kennedy who was not only the inventor also a director producer and cinematographer, he invented a projector that recorded sound on reel. There was the trend of silent films before 1920 so that’s why he got no response and people know that film is a silent art form.
