The Lumiere Brothers - Pioneers

The lumiere brothers Auguste and Louis came from France. They were the first people to create a camera and a device called a cinématographe. They decided to design a camera, after getting inspiration from the kinetoscope. The cinématographe, was a device with a lantern, which projected films which the brothers had taken.

The films the Lumières' had taken, were approximately 50 seconds long. The video I have linked is the first film which was ever to shown to an audience. It was also the first time an audience had seen moving pictures projected onto a screen, so this obviously had a huge effect on people.

Later After their first public screening, the brothers began commercial production which was soon in demand across the world.
