1872 One day, in a hotel in California, there was a heated argument between Stanford and Cohen: did the horses all land when running? Stanford thinks that a running horse's hoof is empty at the moment of jumping; On the other hand, Cohen thinks that horses always touch the ground when running.
No one could convince anyone of the result of the argument, so the usual bet method was adopted to solve it. They hired an excellent horse trainer to judge, however, it is difficult for the referee to judge who is right and who is wrong. This is normal, because it is really difficult to see how the fast-running horseshoe moves with the human eye alone.
When Edward Muybridge, a good friend of the referee, learned about it, he said he could give it a try. He placed 24 cameras on one side of the runway in succession, and their lenses were all aimed at the runway. On the other side of the runway, he ran into 24 stakes, each with a rope tied to it. These lines cross the runway and are tied to the shutter of each camera opposite.
When everything was ready, McBride brought a beautiful horse and let it run from one end of the runway to the other. When the horse ran through this area, the 24-pole lead tripped in turn, and the shutters of 24 cameras were pulled in turn, taking 24 photos. McBride cut these photos in order.
Every two adjacent photos have little difference in action, and they form a continuous photo belt. According to this set of photos, the referee finally saw that all the hooves were empty when the horse was running. It is reasonable to say that the story should end here, but this bet and its strange judgment method have aroused great interest. Mcbride showed people a photo tape with images of galloping horses over and over again.
Once, someone unconsciously pulled the photo tape quickly, and as a result, a strange scene appeared in front of him: the static horse in each photo was folded into a moving horse, and it was "alive"!

1888 10, the French film inventor Louis Aimee Augustine le Prince made a landmark work in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
He used his single-lens camera and Eastman Kodak's paper film to shoot the "Roundhay Garden Scene" and the street view of Leeds Bridge.
This was several years before his competitors, such as Lumiere brothers and Thomas Edison. He couldn't finish the public demonstration of this new invention in America as planned because he mysteriously disappeared on a train on September 1890.
The early film history in America and Europe is marked by the dispute over camera patent rights. 1888, the equipment of Prince 16 lens obtained double patents in the United States, which consisted of a movie camera and a projector.
His other invention, the single-lens camera (MkI), was refused a patent in the United States because a similar product already had a patent. However, a few years later, Thomas Edison, an American, was not rejected when he applied for a patent for similar products.
18881June14th, the film "Landhai Garden Scene" was shot with an improved single lens camera (MkII). He exhibited his first film at the whitley factory in hensley, Leeds, and at Oakwood Manor, whitley's home in Lundehai.
But they didn't spread the film on a larger scale. From 1887 to 1888, he also filmed Leeds Bridge, Around the Corner and Accordion Player, each of which was about 2 seconds long.
In the next few years, in order to let himself and his family emigrate to new york for further study, he obtained dual French and American citizenship. 1In September, 890, it was planned to hold a public exhibition in Jumei Mansion, new york, but it disappeared mysteriously. So Prince's contribution to the birth of the camera is often ignored.

Movies are the entertainment products of the rising living standards of American countries and the new demands of the public in the19th century.
According to the principle of visual persistence, movies use photography (and recording) to record images (and sounds) of external things on film, and through projection (sound reproduction at the same time), the moving images are projected on the screen (synchronized with sounds) by electricity to express certain contents.
Film is a visual and auditory art, which uses film, video tape or digital media to capture images and sounds, plus post-editing work.
Film is a comprehensive modern art, just like art itself, it has complex and numerous disciplines. There are many types of movies, and there are also many classification methods.
Movies began to develop from sound movies, and now they have reached the era of special effects. Movies made with a lot of computer stunts are very popular with friends under middle age.
Foreign movie advertisements In American and British movie advertisements, there are eight kinds of marks:
(1) American X-rays are banned for minors, G-rays are banned for all viewers, R-rays are banned for those under 17, and PG-rays are banned for ordinary viewers.
(2) British U- decent movies, A- movies for the general audience, X- movies forbidden for teenagers under 0/8 years old, and AA- murder movies forbidden for children.
In fact, the film is just an associative scene called art and circuitous.
19 1 1 year, Giotto Canudu, an Italian poet and film pioneer, published a paper entitled "Declaration of the Seventh Art", which he declared for the first time in the world film history that film is a performing art. Since then, ".
Now there are 3D movies, which are the "length, width and height" of vision. American movies have 5D shooting technology.
Among them, the highest film awards are "American Film Academy Award, Palme d 'Or Award at Cannes International Film Festival, Golden Lion Award at Venice International Film Festival and Golden Bear Award at Berlin International Film Festival".
