The first ever film, "L' Arrive O' Un Train A La Coilat" was shown to an audience on the 28th December 1895 in France. As the film was not edited, there was no editior responsible for it.
When first watching the film, the reaction from the audience was very strange. They became scared and shocked, some of them even went as far as trying to flee the theatre in fear of actually being run over by the coming train. I feel as though they reacted in this manner as they had never expirenced anything like that before and it took the aback.
Nicked name "The Father of Cinema", Loui Lumiere was responsible for inventing the "Cinematography. This was a machine that helped screen films via projection. Auguste Lumiere was the first film star at that period. He also lended his helping hand to Loui Lumiere when he worked on the creation of the Cinematography. Contridictively, although he was involve in the devolopment of cinematography, he stated that he saw 'no future' in it.
A few years on, George Mellies wrote a film called "La Voyage Dans La Lune". This interprets as "A Voyage To The Moon" from French to English, in 1902. In 1892 he came up with the 'stop-strick' using numerous explosure, timelapse photography and dissolves to do this. Later on, an American Rock band showed their inspiration and appreciation for Mellies work by naming the boat they used in their music video "Tonight, Tonight" after him.
During 1902, Edwin Stanton Portor directed a classic American film called "The Great Train Robbery". The film see a train literally being robbed by a group of highjackers. The reason it was successful because it was the longest film that had been shown, at that period. It also used a lot of diffirent camera angles and shots.
Niklelodeon is a dated theatre which at the time only cost a nickle to get into.
