LUMIERE BROTHERS
Lumire brothers, French inventors and pioneer the lumiere
brothers were manufacturers of photographic equipment
they made an early motion-picture camera along with a
projector this was called the cinematographe this is where
the name cinema came from. Cinematographe is a
creative aspect of film producing and brought a new way of
using a camera. They invented this by early 1895 and
patented this creation on february 13th 1895.

EDISON COMPANY
The Edison manufacturing company was brought about in 1889
by Thomas Edison they produced kinetoscope films. The
kinetoscope is early motion picture device this device was
used by one person at a time they would view images by
looking through a peephole this machine displayed these
images and fast to create the film. This machine was
developed between 1889 and 1892.

DW GRIFFITH
Griffith began making short films in 1908 he tyhen went on to
release his first film, judith of bethulia, in 1913. He went on
to make a film called The Birth of a Nation this used
advanced camera and narrative techniques this film was
very popular and started off the feature-length films in the
united states.

EDWIN S PORTER
Edwin S Porter worked with the Edison company for some time
then left to be a travelling projectionist he used a machine
that competed with the Edison companys machine it was
Kuhn and Websters Projectorscope.

LEV KULESHOV
Kuleshov was a soviet film maker and film theorist who helped
to establish the very first film school and he also taught in
this school. He believed the essence of cinema was editing
to show how editing can effect the viewers he would use
shots of an actor and intercut them with shots of a
meaningful image such as a casket or a bowl of soup. This
helped him change the viewers interpretations of images
this method is now called the Kuleshov Effect.

GEORGES MELIES
Melies was a French filmmaker and illusionist he is famous for
leading technical and narrative developments in early days
of cinema. Melies used lots of special effects and accidently
came across the substitution stop trick in 1896 he then was
one of the first filmmakers to use time-lapse photography,
dissolves, hand painted colour and multiple exposures in his
work.

CLAPPERCOARD
The clapperboard was used during film making to match
certain scenes with the correct soundtrack and make them
fit perfectly this is as you can see the clapperboard in the
scene and can hear it so you can match the sound to the
movement this is why it makes the loud clap noise. This also
used to have a chalkboard on the side to write down what
scene it is.

NON-LINEAR EDITING
A non-linear editing is the complete opposite of linear editing
which is to display the images as they are recorded whereas
non-linear is when images recorded from loads of different
times and cut them in together to create a video this can
also be done with audio editing.

STEENBECK
Steenbeck is a brand name that happens to have become
synonymous wsith a particular type of flatbed film editing
suite this suite is suitable for 16mm and 35mm optical
sound also magnetic sound film.

VHS
The video home system gave new birth to recording as now
anyone could record things from home with use of a
recorder easily and not for obscene prices and this device
recorded images onto a VHS cassette which can then be
viewed at a later date using a VHS machine which could be
plugged into a television and played on the screen.

AVID
Avid technology was first shown at the National Association of
Broadcasters convention in april 1988 it was their first
design and it was based around a Apple Macintosh 2
computer with special software and hardware of their own
installed to the computer. The software they displayed was
later known as the biggest shake up in editing since Melies
played with time and consequences and by the early 1990s
this system began to replace some of the other software's
such as Moviola, Steenbeck, and KEM flatbed editors.

FINAL CUT PRO

CONTINUITY EDITING
This is a style of editing film and videos this is used during the
post-production process of filmmaking narrative films and
television programs. The purpose of this style of editing is
to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing
process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.

FOLEY SOUND
Foley is when everyday sounds are recreated and then added
to film, video and other media in post production this is
because it boosts the audio quality. The noises added are
such basic sounds heard everyday like squeaky doors so
they can go unnoticed by the audience.
