Lumiere (1864— 1948), French film inventor and director. 1839, photography appeared; Since then, people have made various efforts to record and reproduce moving images through photography. 1889, G. Hysmans of the United States invented a photographic film coated with emulsion on celluloid strips, which not only facilitated shooting moving images for a long time, but also made it possible to see through or display these images. Then, Edison invented a camera that uses photosensitive film to shoot continuously, and published a movable mirror he made for a person to watch moving images through a magnifying glass at 189 1. 1at the end of 894, Louis Lumiere and his brother Auguste, on the basis of studying the camera developed by Edison and others, found a new transmission mode, that is, punching two holes in the film to solve the problem of continuous transportation of the film when shooting and showing movies. 1895 in March, this machine was patented again after improvement, and it was named "movie projector". On March 22nd, 1895, Lumiere's film The Gate of the Factory premiered in Paris, but the tickets were not sold. In the same year, on the evening of February 28th, 65438, tickets were released for the first time in the basement of "Grand Cafe" at Kapesin Road 14 in Paris. Together with the Gate of the Factory, there are also 1 1 silent short films such as Watered Gardener, Train Arriving at the Station and Baby's Lunch, which lasted for 20 years. "The Gate of the Factory" was shot while working in a factory in Lumiere. The length of this film is less than two minutes. The gardener who watered the water told a simple story: a child stepped on a rubber hose with his foot. The gardener thought there was something wrong with the faucet and turned it on for inspection. Just then, the child suddenly removed his foot from the hose, and the water sprayed out of the faucet and splashed on the gardener's face. The film "The Train Arrives at the Station" has begun to adopt the artistic techniques of modern movies. In the film, the train seems to drive out of the screen and rush to the audience quickly, which surprised the audience who came into contact with the film for the first time and thought it was really going to be run over by the train. Here, what the audience sees has been integrated with what the camera "sees". From then on, the film era began. Film history regards this day as the day when the film was born. Starting from 1900, Lumiere turned to the research of 70mm film and wide-screen film projection. Lumiere is also an excellent film director. He has a very strong intuitive feeling of scenery and composition, and is good at "capturing nature". He began to use close-ups and depth-of-field lenses in photography.

At the end of 1894, Lumiere and his brother Auguste, on the basis of studying T.A. Edison's sports camera and E.J. Marley's camera, found a new transmission mode, that is, punching two holes in the film, which solved the problem of continuous transportation of the film when shooting and showing movies. 1On February 3rd, 895, Lumiere brothers obtained the first patent of "machine for continuous photography experiment shooting and viewing".
