Early Film

Picture photography became a reality in the 1890's and from that point on, photography started to evolve. At first it was no fancy projects. There was no editing and the camera was always fixed. If characters were off camera, there was nothing the director can do about it. Audience wanted to see the movies go forward and backwards. The first ten years of motion pictures show the cinema moving from a novelty to an established large-scale entertainment industry. When movies started to become in production, it was mostly silent with only music playing in the background. The only person that would talk is the narrator. Even though they were called silent movies, they were far from silent. They had composers in the theater as well to make everything that was happening to be realistic. Sound was not developed until the late 1920's and this started a new trend as well. By the Early 1900's, movies became a huge industry and became a high earning entertainment.
