Blast from the Past! Lumiere Brothers First Films

The Lumiere Brothers were the first video filmmakers. They were still photographers who invented a machine to take more than one picture in one second. They made 30 second short clips which they later showed the people.

It was around this time that film was coming about around the world. There were similar developments happening in other countries. They did their first private showing in 1895, and went on until 1898.The first type of films were basically outdoor shots, stationary camera shots, silent, documentary. They had some narrative (garden scene & card game), no closeups, mainly long shots, character/object movement, one setting, single shot, and med shot (which showed facial expressions).
