2.2History of Film

Film history can not be separated from the history of photography. And historical photographs can not be separated from its supporting equipment, such as cameras. The world's first camera was invented by a Muslim scientist, Ibn Haitham. The physicists first discovered the Camera Obscura on the basis of the study of optics using sunlight energy assistance.

Develop the idea of ​​a simple camera, the cameras began to be found more practical, even innovation developed so rapidly that the camera began to be used to record motion pictures. The basic idea of a movie itself. The horse motion pictures became the world's first motion picture. Where in the past it has not created a camera that can record the dynamic movement. After the invention of moving pictures Muybridge first time, cameras innovation began when Thomas Edison developed the normal functions of the camera images into a camera that can record motion pictures in 1988, so the camera starts to record objects that move dynamically. Thus began a new era marked by the creation of cinematography that kind of short documentary films by the Lumière brothers. The film is recognized as the world's first cinema was screened at the Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, France with the title's Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory on December 28, 1895 which was then set as the day of the birth of cinematography.
