There are many types of movies, for example feature films, classic films, musical films, commercial films, documentaries, etc ... Do you like or dislike any film you watch? One question that always comes to your mind is what is the name of the film, what does it mean and when did the film start to be made. Today we will tell you briefly about that. Scholars have interpreted film in such a way that the film, also known as a movie or picture motion picture, is both an art and an industry. In the beginning, films were made on a plastic membrane, which was magnified by a movie projector. Was shown on the screen (in other words, analog recording process). The use of special effects based on CGI led to the use of digital means of film creation. Most contemporary films now produce, distribute and screen, as if completely digital from start to finish.
Movies are created under a specific culture and they present those cultures as well as influence them. In the present era, film is considered as an important form of art, as well as a popular means of entertainment and the strongest means of spreading education and awareness. The film is considered a universal medium of communication due to its visual representation. Some films are gaining worldwide popularity due to the dubbing of their dialogues or subtitles in the language of the audience.
Now the question is who made the first film? In response, Lumiere Brothers and Thomas Edison are usually credited with making the first moving film. But some time ago, the debate took a new turn, with a new documentary claiming that the first film was originally made in Leeds in 1888, but that the honor of making the film disappeared before it could make a name for itself in the history of cinema. Done and no one still knows about it.
The claim to make the world's first film is 125 years old. On October 14, 1888, a family gathered in a garden on the outskirts of Leeds. The group also included Louis Le Prince, who had a strange wooden box in his hand. Everyone wondered why Louis was holding this box and what was in it. But only Louis knew what was in his hand and how precious it was. Apparently it was a wooden box, but in the time to come from this box, the employment of millions of people was going to be associated, the world of art was going to get countless big names.
Louis Le Prince was born in the northeastern French city of Metz. He studied physics and chemistry at the university and began working as a photographer and painter. He was then hired by John Whitley, an engineering firm in Leeds. Three years after arriving in Leeds, he married Elizabeth Whitley, the company owner's daughter. This was the time when photography became popular and Louis Lee Prince began experimenting with moving pictures. By 1880, he had joined the ranks of inventors working on a technology that later became known as film. Lee Prince's first camera had 16 lenses. But Louis Lee Prince used a camera with a lens to film the garden scene and people coming and going on the Leeds Bridge. He successfully filmed animated scenes (action) but no one found out about his invention because no one had seen it.
Let us tell you here that Wilkinson made a film called "The First Film" in which Louis Lee Prince is said to be the inventor of moving pictures. Tony Booth, an associate curator at Bradford's National Media Museum, says there is strong evidence to support this claim. The museum also houses Louis Le Prince's historical camera and film. If you look at the mechanism of this camera or how it works, it is very similar to the cameras that move after it. It is a film roll that rotates from one spin to another and takes a series of pictures, which are later presented in such a way that they seem to move. As for the thing that recorded the moving pictures of the live action, I would say that (Louis Lee Prince) was the first person to do it. "
Let's go back to the garden of the roundabout where Louis asked the people with him, including his son, a friend and mother-in-law, to walk in a circle in front of the box. The box was Louis Le Prince's camera and we can still see a little silent film that was made from it. The film was made long before the release of Edison and Lumiere.
Louis Le Prince continued his experiments and was about to do a public screening in New York in 1890 when he disappeared. He was supposed to catch a train from Dijon to Paris in September 1890 with two friends, but he was never seen again. There are many assumptions about his death or mysterious disappearance. His wife, Lizzie, says Edison killed them to get them out of their way. Some say that Louis Lee Prince committed suicide because he was about to go bankrupt or that he deliberately disappeared and started a new life somewhere else.
He was also said to have been killed by his brother Albert over a property dispute. "If they hadn't disappeared, the film would have been shown in New York," says David Wilkinson. I am sure they would have raised enough money from a prominent audience to start manufacturing it on a large scale. They would do what Edison Orleomers did, but they would have done it before them. They would have become famous. "
Louis Le Prince's granddaughter Larry Snyder writes in her memoir, "There are many assumptions in my family. Some think Edison had a hand in it. Some think he disappeared." I think he missed the car. He took the late train which reached Paris at 11 pm. You must have taken a taxi to go to the workshop from there. The driver, taking advantage of the darkness, would have taken them somewhere far away on the banks of the Seine River, hitting them on the head and throwing them into the river. According to media reports at the time, thieves often targeted lone travelers and Louis Le Prince was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It was the story of a man who gave the world a great gift like a movie but lost himself unknowingly. It is safe to say that the life of filmmaker Louis Lee Prince was like a movie with suspense, emotion and struggle...
