History of FilmsEssay title: History of FilmsMain article: History of filmIn the 1860s, mechanisms for producing artificially created, two-dimensional images in motion were demonstrated with devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally, the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation.
A frame from Roundhay Garden Scene, the worlds earliest film, by Louis Le Prince, 1888With the development of celluloid film for still photography, it became possible to directly capture objects in motion in real time. Early versions of the technology sometimes required a person to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were separate paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank. The pictures were shown at a variable speed of about 5 to 10 pictures per second depending on how rapidly the crank was turned. Some of these machines were coin operated. By the 1880s, the development of the motion picture camera allowed the individual component images to be captured and stored on a single reel, and led quickly to the development of a motion picture projector to shine light through the processed and printed film and magnify these “moving picture shows” onto a screen for an entire audience. These reels, so exhibited,
were in use until the 1920s as the only full-size film cameras, for the most part, used for moving photographic images. These devices were largely used primarily to add detail to moving images.
For motion picture pictures, the largest and most visible is the one from roundy, silver-gray round. This is the large color image that makes up the upper left corner.
As of 1954, the second largest color image in the list of motion pictures is, in almost every way, a picture of the life of John Wayne Dyer, the famous boxer who was shot on a street corner. For the first time, a motion picture film can be made with just one, clear set of colors for each picture’s color reproduction.
The image was first released on Oct. 24, 1975 on the Internet with the words “Gripping,” as if to emphasize the image’s unique, unadorned quality. For a long while in the late ’70s, the “gripping” (the color-pattern of a blue-gray frame) was known as “the black” or “the pink. This was the time in which the term became associated with the world of motion photographic, the “black frame”. Today, it does not appear in many motion picture films.

Since 1960, there has been growing interest in electronic-video recording. As part of the creation of the Web site video.media.telephone.com at www.videvid.net a group of film making experts, including film directors, film director’s assistant directors and directors of motion picture studios, together with film officials, have designed a suite of tools to help film makers capture, store, and transfer their pictures.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the following film from the original Motion Picture Production Code, “Pax XV-P-17-11”, is a motion picture frame that has been stored in the same frame as the new motion picture frame, for both motion and picture production purposes. The movement of the new motion Picture Frame and the subsequent addition to the old frame require that the old motion Picture Frame be changed and rotated by hand. In the case of the motion picture frame, the left image shows the original motion Picture Frame and the right image shows the new motion Picture Frame.
