Who invented the movie?

The film was shown by the Lumiere brothers.

Film is a continuous image picture developed by the combination of mobile photography and slide show. It is a visual and auditory modern art, and it is also a synthesis of modern technology and art that can accommodate drama, photography, painting, music, dance, writing, sculpture, architecture and other arts.

However, it has its own characteristics. In terms of artistic expression, movies not only have the characteristics of other arts, but also can be copied and shown in large quantities because they can use montage (French) and have the means of expression beyond all other arts. With the development of modern society, movies have penetrated into all aspects of human social life and are an indispensable part of people's daily life.

Extended data:

The retention of technical vision "turned a burning charcoal into a fire belt with a wave of his hand, which was discovered by ancient people." However, this visual phenomenon was associated with the invention of movies in the19th century.

1829, Joseph Prato, a famous Belgian physicist, stared at the strong sunlight for a long time in order to further examine the human eye's tolerance to light, resulting in blindness.

But he found that the shadow of the sun was deeply imprinted in his eyes, and he finally discovered the principle of "visual retention", that is, when the object in front of people is removed, the image reflected by the object on the retina will not disappear immediately, but will continue to stay for a short time. Experiments show that the retention time of images is generally 0. 1-0.4 seconds.

At the same time, the principle of "Faraday wheel" and the visual study of the rotation of the picture "magic disk" have been adopted in physics textbooks and physics laboratories in Europe. They showed human beings that the physiological function of human vision can combine a series of independent pictures into a continuous mobile video.

19 In 1930s, visual toys such as stunt wheels, walking wheels, rotating wheels, movable mirrors and stroboscope appeared one after another. Its basic principle is similar, that is, draw a series of images on a rotatable and movable video disc. When the video disc rotates, those unremarkable images move and come alive.

Since then, the Austrian combined the slide show with the movable video disc, so that the still picture was projected on the screen, and the movable slide show was made, forming the early animation.

However, in the 1960s, film theorists and educators raised new questions about "visual stagnation". They found that all the action phenomena on the screen were actually jumping and incoherent, but the audience realized that it was a unified and complete action sequence. This proves that what really works is not "visual retention" but "psychological recognition".
