Once upon a time... way back in 1895 CINEMA WAS BORN!
It was the 28th December when it all began
The Lumieres brothers presented the first viewing of a projected motion picture to many paying customers in the Salon Indien, Paris.
IT WAS THE WORLD FIRST MOVIE THEATRE!
The cinema screening included a 20 minute program which was made up of 10 short films with 20 screenings per day. By 1898 The Lumieries company had produced over 1,000 movie titles.
In 1897 the first real cinema building was built in Paris, and the next one was built in 1902 in Downtown Los' Angeles where a 200 seat electrical theatre was built. From 1909 onwards cinemas began to pop up everywhere.
In 1903 Edwin S. Porter produced THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY. It was Americas first narrative film based on a real-life train heist. The film weighted in at one-real, 14 scenes and 10 minutes long.
NICKELODEONS = THE FIRST REAL MOVIE THEATRE
In 1902 Nickelodeons opened, the name comes from the admission charge of 1 nickel, and it was open from early hours of the morning to late hours of the night.
:)
In 1906 we saw the birth of the first continuous full-length narrative feature film. With a running time of 60 minutes 'THE STORY OF THE KELLY GANG" was a film break-through.
In 1912 Television began to air serial programs. These were very popular just before the Great War broke out. The first American serial was the Edisons Company "What happened to Mary" (1912), staring Mary Fuller.
From 1911 - 1919 the number of feature-length films increased from 2 - 646. Cinemas and movies palaces boomed. Definitely an INDUSTRY ON THE RISE.
In 1914 CHARLIE CHAPLIN was born as a movie star in his comedy 'Making a living'. Charlie Chaplin continued directing, writing, producing and acting in his own films.
1921 was a breakthrough for film artists. D.W Griffith's film DREAM STREET was considered the first film to use sound... we are getting closer to the technology we use today.
The most expensive film ever made for its time was in 1923 by Cecil B. DeMille's. The movie was his first version of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. The parting of the seas scene features only the best special effects.
1923...HOLLYWOOD... $21,000
In 1925 the first in flight movie was aired. It was a black and white silent film titled THE LOST WORLD. It was shown in a WW1 bomber during a flight from London to Paris.
ITS THE MILE HIGH CLUB.
1927 was the birth of voice recorded records... The Jazz singer was the first person to record a record with embedded voice overs.
Now things are getting interesting... In 1929 the first all color film was produced. It is called... On with the Snow.
1933 saw the birth of another cinema experience. It was known as the DRIVE IN THEATRE.
In 1937 Snow White and the seven dwarfs was produced by Walt
Disney. It was the first full length animated color film that showed all characters talking.
In 1939 the Television was invented, And it was not until 1955 that movies were aired on television.
1963 saw the birth of another huge breakthrough in the film industry. Multiplex cinemas were developed. This enabled movie theatre's to preview more than one film at any one time. The next big film viewing breakthrough was in 1970 with the invention of the IMAX theatre. An extra large cinema.
In 1975 it was possible to hire a movie to take home and watch from BLOCKBUSTER.
1995 saw the birth of one of the best animated films of all time. TOY STORY. It was the first animated film created on computer.
1997 out with the VHS and in with the DVD.
