The history of cinema begins on December 28, 1895, when the Lumière brothers publicly projected output of a French factory workers in Lyon, the demolition of a wall, the arrival of a train and a ship leaving port .
The success of this invention was immediate, not only in France but throughout Europe and North America. In one year the Lumière brothers created more than 500 films, marked by the absence of actors and the natural scenery, brevity, lack of assembly and the fixed position of the camera. But eventually viewers bored by the monotony of the shots. And it was George Méliès who deepened by the fact the first time in fictional storytelling and who began to develop new cinematic techniques, especially in 1902 with "Journey to the Moon" and in 1904 with "Journey through the impossible" theatrical technique applied to the camera and creating the first special effects and filmed science fiction. Since then the film did nothing but improve and raised great directors like Ernst Lubitsch, Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, and Charles Chaplin kept evolving technology until 1927, he premiered the first sound film The Jazz Singer , from which the film as I knew ceased to exist and imposed more complex scripts that were moving away from the stereotypical characters of the silent era had created.
It was in that same year 1927 when the Paramount Pictures creates cinematic technique known as dubbing.
Over the years the technique allowed the incorporation of color, coming in 1935 with "Vanity Fair" by Rouben Mamoulian, but got their fullest artistically in 1939 with "Gone with the Wind." The color was slower to be adopted by the film. The public was relatively indifferent to color photography in black and white counter. But to improve color registration processes and lower costs compared to black and white, more movies were filmed in color.
Securing your place in line to classic cinema as its proximity to postmodernism.
