What is Lumiere's contribution to movies?

Louis Lumiere used to be a photographer, so he didn't have to study the "horse's table" for a long time to complete his own film machine. His films have a special style, that is, systematic "moving photos". Louis Lumiere shot nearly 12 films in 1895. He chose the theme of the film through amateur photographers (these amateur photographers once made his photographic equipment factory rich). But his photography skills are superb. He was one of the outstanding photographers at that time. He is good at quick photography and has outstanding insight into the organization and composition of the theme. Louis Lumiere's first film "Factory Gate" can be said to be a propaganda film, which was shown in a lecture on the development of French photography enterprises. In the film, women workers wearing feather hats and aprons and men pushing bicycles still make people feel a simple charm. After the completion of the screening, the film then shows a carriage pulled by two good horses to drive the factory owners into the factory, and then the company closes the factory door. Lumiere, an industrialist in Lyon, also filmed some other themes in his factory, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, tearing down walls and so on. In addition, he also likes to shoot the subjects of amateur photographers, that is, to show the quiet fun of family life. Movies with this theme include: baby's lunch, goldfish bowl, children's quarrel, bathing in the sea, playing cards, chess, shrimp fishing and so on. These films are not only like a family photo album, but also like a social documentary about a wealthy family in France at the end of last century. Lumiere filmed some very successful scenes, allowing the audience to see their favorite life or their yearning life on the screen. Some of the family scenes were shot in the beautiful house of Lumiere's father in Xiaota Town. Auguste Lumière (1) once filmed The Woman Burning Grass in the small tower, and successfully used the effect of smoke to make the projected moving images have a sense of depth. The Ship Leaving Hong Kong filmed by Louis Lumiere there is a very successful photographic work. The reflection of the back light gives the waves a three-dimensional effect. The unique and ingenious composition arranged two Lumiere and their baby in the upper corner of the picture, which made the picture full of poetry.
