![THE LUMIERE BROTHERS
Cinema was created by two French brothers and they created the starting point
for all forms of visual broadcasting e.g. television , documentaries , films.
“The Lumière brothers were born in Besançon, France, in 1862 and 1864, and
moved to Lyon in 1870, where both attended La Martiniere, the largest
technical school in Lyon.[3] Their father, Claude-Antoine Lumière (1840–1911),
ran a photographic firm and both brothers worked for him: Louis as a
physicist and Auguste as a manager. Louis had made some improvements to
the still-photograph process, the most notable being the dry-plate process,
which was a major step towards moving images.
It was not until their father retired in 1892 that the brothers began to create
moving pictures. They patented a number of significant processes leading
up to their film camera, most notably film perforations (originally
implemented by Emile Reynaud) as a means of advancing the film through
the camera and projector. The cinématographe itself was patented on 13
February 1895 and the first footage ever to be recorded using it was
recorded on March 19, 1895. This first film shows workers leaving the
Lumière factory”
The first films that the Lumiere brothers made were on17 meters long tape reels
and were only 50 seconds long , but at the time this was a ground breaking
piece of technology.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/developmentofeditingstyles-120626074121-phpapp02/85/Development-of-editing-styles-2-320.jpg)

The film was not the financial success that its predecessor had been, but was received warmly by critics”. www.imdb.com/title/tt0004972/
