The impact of cinematography throughout the world
1.- Birth
This story begins on the 28th of December in 1895 in Paris, the adventure begins at the hands of August and Louis Lumiere and although there is no photograph to confirm it, there are 33 witnesses and one recording.
It all started when these ingenious brothers began to become pioneers of technology, not only in Paris but also outside the boundaries of France, all thanks to their incredible inventions such as instant photography, photographic plates, among other inventions.
During 1895 they created one of their greatest inventions that is still loved today.
It is nothing more and nothing less than the first cinematographic tape, in other words, the first film in the world.
2.- Audience acceptance
This film was not a film in itself, it was a short film called "Exit from the Lumiere factory", in the short film you could see a train leaving the Lumiere facilities, many people were frightened because the train was heading towards the camera but nothing happened.
That spark of suspense made people love the short film and more people came to appreciate it, this made the brothers want to dedicate themselves completely to cinema and they started with their network of films such as "Trip to the moon", "La mer", "La luna a un metro", etc.
3.- Types
Cinema, as artistic manifestations during the 20th century, has different currents. In some cases, it represents a break with previous styles, especially classical Hollywood cinema, where the avant-garde cinema is born, which represents a break with the narrative of conventional cinema. Together with literature and art, they dominated the first third of the 20th century. Avant-garde cinema has many stages, one of them are:
Impressionism: The purpose of this style is to demonstrate the feelings of the protagonists. This gives importance to emotions and psychology. Example: The Book Thief.
Surrealism: It seeks the liberation of the spirit and challenges the logical, aesthetic and moral order. In the same way it attacks the pillars of bourgeois society and its questioned values. Example: An Andalusian Dog.
4.- Purpose
The purpose of cinema during the 20th century was to create a distraction so that people would forget about the wars that took place during that century, such as The Triple Alliance V. S The Triple Entente, the First and Second World Wars.
