  2. First ever film? Many people get confused on what the very first film was. But what does film mean? Now, it is seen as a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement. But in 1870 when the first ever film was made, it was just moving images. In 1870 a French inventor named Charles-Emile Reynaud, improved on the Zoetrope idea by placing mirrors at the centre of a drum. He named it the praxinoscope.

  3. In 1878, Railroad tycoon Leland Stanford hired a British photographer Eadweard Muybridge to settle a bet on whether or not a galloping horse ever had all four feet off the ground. Muybridge successfully photographed a horse in fast motion using a series of 12 cameras controlled by trip wires. His photos showed the horse with all four feet off the ground. He named his moving-image device the zoopraxiscope. This inspired French scientist Étienne-Jules Marey to invent equipment for recording and analyzing animal and human movement. Marey called his invention the chronophotographic camera, which was able to take multiple images superimposed on top of one another.
