Background Info

     When making movies there are a whole lot of steps that producers need to go through in order to have a good and successful film. It all starts with storytelling, now a days sound and color and many more developements. But the real first films that were produced started off in France by Leon Cauhmont that was produced in the late 19th century. But were as early as 1877. But when films started they weren't long at all, they were all short films. The movie pictures were synchrynized with a gramophone record.
     And something super cool that I found out waws that they didn't have video cameras before so they captured pictures of something. Then a painter in the early time would take the photos and put them on a spinner. This would cause the pictures to move frame by frame and create moving pictures for the audience to see.
     So as time went on, technology progressed and progressed causing technology to advance. Later there was no need for these kinds of things. As more time passed more effects came into the picture. For example, sound started to develope into film and later came color. Not to far back the green screen was developed where people made effects that we can not do in real life or that would be risking our lives.
     I think that this is something interesting for us to know because if we are so connected with movies in our society, might as well know where this came from and how we have improved so much throughout the years. Before there were only a few people recognized for this sort of thing, but now so many people have contributed to this bussiness that it boomed and now it is a great contribution to out society and a way for our country to get money.
