The Lumi\u00e8re Brothers: Pioneers of cinema<\/h3>\n

A lot of people are under the impression that the development of modern film technology is all thanks to the famous inventor, Thomas Edison, and his employee, William Dickson. Together, they developed two very first film technologies: kinethograph\u00a0(basically a camera), and kinetoscope (a single viewer exhibition device that you use to watch kinethograph\u00a0films). However, while they were busy inventing the two in the United States, people all over the world were going after a similar goal. In Lyon, France, the Lumiere brothers invented a lightweight all-in-one motion picture device that made movies\u00a0and<\/em> exhibited them. They called it\u00a0Cinematographe. It played back the developed roll of film shining a bright light through it to show images.<\/p>\n

Georges Melies, a French\u00a0magician, director, and theatrical special effects specialist, got invited to one of the Lumier\u00a0brothes’ movie\u00a0screenings. And it of course\u00a0blew his mind. He tried to purchase the cinematographe\u00a0on the spot but the Lumier\u00a0brothers weren’t ready to sell. But Melies did not give up. After searching all over the world, he ended up buying an animatograph.\u00a0 He now had the opportunity to direct the very first science fiction movie in 1902 called\u00a0Le Voyage dans la Lune\u00a0<\/i>or\u00a0A Trip to the Moon.\u00a0<\/em>Inspired by a wide variety of sources, including Jules Verne\u2019s novels “From Earth to the Moon” and “Around the Moon”, the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a capsule, explore the Moon\u2019s surface, escape from an underground group of aliens, and return in a splashdown to Earth. It features a cast of French theatrical performers, led by M\u00e9li\u00e8s himself in the main role of Professor Barbenfouillis, and is filmed in the overtly theatrical style for which M\u00e9li\u00e8s became famous.<\/p>\n
