CINEMA´S HISTORY

The world's first hand-tinted motion picture was produced by Thomas Edison's company, Edison Studios, in 1895. The dancer, Annabelle Moore (1878-1961), was just a teenager when this film was released, and her dance caused both a sensation and a scandal.

Although the start of the history of film is not clearly defined, the commercial, public screening of ten of Lumière brothers' short films in Paris on 28 December 1895 can be regarded as the breakthrough of projected cinematographic motion pictures.

The first film device was created by French-born inventor Louis Le Prince in the late 1880s. He shot several short films in Leeds, England, in 1888, and the following year he began using the newly invented celluloid film. He was scheduled to show his work in New York City in 1890, but he disappeared while traveling in France.

The world's earliest surviving motion-picture film, showing actual consecutive action is called Roundhay Garden Scene. It's a short film directed by French inventor Louis Le Prince.

The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1888–1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak", was first offered for sale in 1888.

The world's earliest colour film, shot in 1902 by a little-known Edwardian photographer, has been unveiled by a British museum. Edward Turner patented his method of capturing moving colour images more than a decade before the invention of Technicolor.

COMPUTER MADE FILMS

FIlm history is not very long, there were several important stages during film industry development. Recently computers started to replace actors and also film tricks can be created with computer programs.

Czech pupils from classes 6D, 7A, 7D, 8A, and 8B  learnt how to create a film with IT tools during the pandemic when the school was locked down. We found this program on hourofcode.org, The program is called a blockly movie. Here you can see the last level 10 which we could reach.

This program was written by Pepa:

Lukáš after reaching the last level created his own movie CLIMBER:

Eliška created a film called A Snowman:
