    The history of cinematography dates back to the late 19th century and has evolved significantly over the years. It all began with the invention of the first motion picture camera, the Kinétoscope, by William Kennedy Dickson in 1891, while he was working for Thomas Edison. This device projected images onto a screen, marking the beginning of the cinematography era.
    In 1895, the Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, invented the Cinématographe, a device that could both record and project motion pictures. This innovation led to the first public screening of a motion picture, which took place on December 28, 1895, in Paris.
    Early cinematography primarily focused on capturing short, simple scenes, known as actualities. These included events like sporting competitions, parades, and natural disasters. As the technology advanced, filmmakers began experimenting with narrative storytelling, leading to the creation of the first narrative film, "The Story of the Kelly Gang" in 1906.
    The 1910s saw the introduction of new techniques like close-ups, cross-cutting, and camera movement, which allowed filmmakers to tell more engaging and emotionally impactful stories. This era also marked the transition from silent films to talkies with the release of "The Jazz Singer" in 1927.
    Color cinematography was introduced in the early 1930s with the Technicolor process, which initially required the use of separate cameras for each color. This process evolved over time, leading to more advanced color systems that could be captured using a single camera.
    In the 1940s and 1950s, innovations in camera technology allowed for the development of wide-screen formats like CinemaScope and VistaVision, which provided a more immersive viewing experience. The 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of handheld cameras and the use of natural lighting, contributing to a more realistic and gritty visual style in films like "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Godfather."
    The advent of digital technology in the late 20th century revolutionized cinematography. Digital cameras provided filmmakers with greater control over the image, allowing for easier manipulation in post-production. This also led to the development of high-definition formats and 3D technology.
    Today, cinematography continues to evolve with advancements in technology, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and the rise of streaming platforms that have altered the way films are produced, distributed, and consumed. The future of cinematography will likely involve further integration of technology and innovative storytelling techniques to create even more immersive and engaging experiences for audiences.

    Just a few random facts I learned researching the history on my own time:
    The pictures of the horse were taken by setting up strings along the path the horse would take. Every time a string snapped, a picture was taken.
    Some guy was filming a street when a bus pulls up. His camera breaks suddenly and he quickly fixes it and continues filming. Going over the film later, he was astonished to see the bus turn into a hearse, which had pulled up while he was fixing his camera.
    I don’t remember these super well so it’s probably worth a google for a clearer picture.

    • @orion8113
      @orion8113 2 роки тому +1

      yep, that's right ! About the last fun fact, this guy was George Meliès, a french magician and director, he discovered cinema thanks to the Lumière brothers and became very interested in it. Just like you said, the incident of filming the bus is the one that made him think of movie tricks. (he might have invented this anecdote but it's still quite fun) and he really is the one thanks to whom we now have film tricks in our movies

    There is a lot here that is so great. However, it's a shame that there are so very many typos on names, titles, and dates.

    Excellent video, very good work but please correct the chronologies on some films (Singin' in the Rain 1952, Pierrot Le Fou 1965 etc.)

    Nice to see somebody inform about the origins and developement of the Industry/Art Form.BUT, sadly, you get a lot of the films' dates totally wrong--'Gone With The Wind', Terminator 2', 'Saving Private Ryan', "Matrix', etc.

    Great video, I enjoyed the dynamism of the editing. However, I would like to emphasize the importance of the Blaxplotation films after the bankrupcy Hollywwod experienced. The profit of those productions contributed to the renaissance of Hollywood.
