Beginning of film industry(Early Projectors)

  The beginning of film began as far back as 1830's as several British, American, and French photographers, inventors, and assistants designed several different machines that took pictures of actual life in synchronized position and when put on a rotating disk and a light it would create a "moving picture". Many designs were used by multiple people for instance, in 1877 Eadweard Muybridge was tasked to take various amount of pictures of a horse while it was galloping to see if a horse lifted all hooves when it raced and in 1882 Etienne-Jules Marey constructed a camera shaped rifle to study how bird fly by each photo being taken one/twelfth of a second and constructed a machine that would play it out. However, it would be about 1888 until Thomas Edison's lab assistant Dickson came and created the most popular of cinematographic devices at the time by combining Muybridge and Marey's essentials of motion picture and instituted the device as a kinetoscope which coincide with Edison's phonograph. Dickson's kinetoscope would become mania across the United States, but in Europe Edison avoided getting international patents which allowed Europeans to change and modify the kinetoscope in several varying, and interesting ways that slightly improved the device. As French Brother Auguste and Louis Lumiere created the first projector to be portable as Edison's designed could only be done in a small studio while the Lumiere could make documentaries on the outside world and had several photographers record videos of exotic places throughout the world. In the year 1895 the Kinetoscope had reach saturation and Edison was persuaded to buy rights to sell a highly advance projector created by Grey and Otway Latham that reduced film breakage and in 1896 marketed the projector as his own to help with branding the projector. Several other knockoffs came into play when the Thomas's projector was being ripped off vu The American Mutoscope and Biography Company formed in 1896 and patented by W. K. L. Dickson in 1896. Around the late 1890's to the mid 1900's many films were considered vaudeville acts as they were often presented in fairgrounds, circus tents, and lyceums as a self contained act and as many as fifty films were produced. In conclusion films in this "novelty period" weren't seen as nothing more than as a vaudeville act that took nearly a 60 years to perfect for a viewing audience that would only be the beginning of the new and growing industry.
