Jules Duboscq marketed phénakisticope projection systems in France from circa 1853 until the 1890s. The stroboscopic animation principle was introduced in 1833 with the stroboscopic disc (better known as the phénakisticope) and later applied in the zoetrope (since 1866), the flip book (since 1868), and the praxinoscope (since 1877), before it became the basic principle for cinematography.Įxperiments with early phénakisticope-based animation projectors were made at least as early as 1843 and publicly screened in 1847. In early years, the word sheet was sometimes used instead of screen.Īnimated GIF of Prof. Archaic terms include 'animated pictures' and 'animated photography'.Ĭommon terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the movies, and cinema the last of these is commonly used, as an overarching term, in scholarly texts and critical essays.

The name 'film' originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. An analogous optical soundtrack (a graphic recording of the spoken words, music and other sounds) runs along a portion of the film exclusively reserved for it, and was not projected.Ĭontemporary films are usually fully digital through the entire process of production, distribution, and exhibition. The apparent motion on the screen is the result of the fact that the visual sense cannot discern the individual images at high speeds, so the impressions of the images blend with the dark intervals and are thus linked together to produce the illusion of one moving image. A rotating shutter causes stroboscopic intervals of darkness, but the viewer does not notice the interruptions due to flicker fusion.

The images are transmitted through a movie projector at the same rate as they were recorded, with a Geneva drive ensuring that each frame remains still during its short projection time.

The moving images of a film are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects.īefore the introduction of digital production, series of still images were recorded on a strip of chemically sensitized celluloid ( photographic film stock), usually at the rate of 24 frames per second. 3.7 1950s: growing influence of television.
