Briefly describe the origin and development of the movie?

Origin

One day in 1872, in a hotel in California, Stanford and Cohen got into a heated argument: do all the hooves of a horse land when it runs? Stanford argued that a running horse's hooves are airborne at the moment it leaps; Cohen argued that a horse always has one hoof on the ground when it runs.

No one could convince anyone of the outcome of the dispute, so the usual American way of settling a bet was resorted to. They brought in a good horse trainer to make the call, but the referee had trouble deciding who was right and who was wrong. This is normal, because it is really difficult to see how the hooves of a fast-running horse move with the human eye alone.

The referee's good friend, British photographer Edward Muybridge, found out about the incident and said he could give it a try. He placed 24 cameras in a line on one side of the track with their lenses pointed at the track. On the other side of the runway, he drove 24 stakes, each with a thin rope tied across the runway to the shutter of each camera on the opposite side.

When everything was ready, McBridge brought in a beautiful steed and had it gallop from one end of the runway to the other. As the horse passed through the area, it tripped the 24-pole lead in turn, and the shutters of the 24 cameras were pulled in turn to take 24 pictures. McBridge cut up the photos in sequential order.

The difference in action between each of the two adjacent photos was so small that they formed a coherent band of photos. Based on this group of photos, the judge finally saw that the horse was running with all hooves up in the air. This should have been the end of the story, but the bet and the peculiar way in which it was decided aroused a great deal of interest. Again and again, McBride showed the tape with the image of the galloping horse.

Once, someone unconsciously and quickly pulled the tape, which resulted in a strange sight: the static horses in the photos were stacked up into a moving horse, which actually "came to life"!

Development

In October 1888, the French film inventor Louis Prince (Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince) carried out a landmark work in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

He shot the Roundhay Garden Scene and a section of the Leeds Bridge street scene one after the other using his own single-lens camera and Eastman Kodak paper film.

This was several years ahead of his competitors - such as the Lumiere brothers and Thomas Edison. He was unable to complete a planned public demonstration of this new invention in the United States because he mysteriously disappeared on Sept. 16, 1890, on a train.

The early history of motion pictures in the United States and Europe was marked by a battle over the patent rights to the camera, and in 1888 Prince was granted a double patent in the United States for a device with 16 lenses, a combination of a movie camera and a projector.

His other invention, a single-lens camera, known as the MkI, was denied a patent in the US because a similar product already held a patent. However, Thomas Edison, an American, was not rejected when he applied for a patent on a similar product a few years later.

On October 14, 1888, the film Scenes from the Gardens of London-on-Sea was shot using an improved version of the single-lens camera known as the MkII. He exhibited this first film at Whitley's factory in the Hunslet area of Leeds and at Oakwood Grange, Whitley's home in London-on-Sea.

But they did not disseminate the movie on a wider scale. He made the films Leeds Bridge, Round the Corner, and The Accordion Player simultaneously from 1887 to 1888, each lasting about two seconds.

Over the next few years, in order to emigrate himself and his family to New York and to further his research, he acquired dual French-American citizenship, and in September 1890 he planned to travel to New York to hold a public exhibition at the Gathering House, yet he himself mysteriously disappeared. As a result, Prince's contribution to the birth of the camera is often overlooked.

Expanded Information

Movies were the product of a new demand for entertainment that arose from the rising national standard of living in the United States in the 19th century.

Film is a modern technology that uses photographic (and sound recording) means to record images (and sound) of external things on film, and then projects the moving images onto the screen (and synchronized sound) by means of electricity in order to express certain contents through projection (and sound restoration at the same time) according to the visual retention principle.

Film is a visual and aural art that utilizes film, videotape, or digital media to capture images and sound, plus post-editing.

Film is an integrated modern art, and like art itself, has a complex and varied range of disciplines. There are many types of movies and many ways to categorize them.

Film has evolved from talkies and has now reached the age of special effects. Movies made using a lot of computer stunts are popular with the majority of people below middle age.

Foreign movie advertisements in the United States and the United Kingdom have these eight markings:

(1) United States X - films forbidden to minors, G - films available to all viewers, R - prohibited under seventeen, PG - available to general audiences.

(2) UK U - decent content films, A - films available to the general audience, X - films banned for teenagers under 18, AA - murder films banned for children and teenagers.

The movie is really just a scene of association that is called art and meandering drama.

In 1911, Italian poet and film pioneer Giotto Canudo published a treatise called "The Manifesto of the Seventh Art," in which he declared for the first time in the history of world cinema that cinema was a performing art, and since then the term "Seventh Art" has become synonymous with the art of film.

Today there are 3D movies, which are visual "aspect ratio", and 5D shooting technology in the United States.

The highest awards for movies are the Academy Awards, the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival, and the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
