1895 «Sort de l'usine» Fiat Lux!

An excerpt from this article translated from the first chapter of the book Cinéma français by Vincent Pinel

At the National Association for the Promotion of Industry in Paris, Louis Lumiere presented a report on his photographic research, which he explained using fixed projections in black and white and color. In addition to the speech, he also introduced his latest invention: an unnamed device that can...

Use movies to record life

This is the movie at the beginning. There are hardly all the elements of the movie: star actors, plot, the author's purpose is to record the life of the factory, and it is a black and white film at the same time, and there is no sound. The Lumière brothers wanted to use movies to record a dynamic life. People who hold this kind of thinking are often afraid of their lives being passed away for no reason, hoping that history can be remembered, but the film has reached this stage of ours, and it...

Pour le film

Intuitive feeling, the composition is quite beautiful, the characters are quite vivid, without others.
But looking at the entire movie history, it still touches people, so I will look at it again after a while.
Are there any enlightenments and techniques that can be gained from this video? Obviously not.
It is more of a kind of spirit. After every time I watch it, I always feel that it is a sin not to treat the movie sincerely, not to make it seriously, and to waste my life on...

The composition is exquisite, and the crowd is scattered in a flat and tense manner. This kind of scheduling and composition, as the first film in film history, almost had a decisive impact on the aesthetics of the...

Movie = movie + show. So in 1895 the Lumière brothers screened 10 films at the Grand Café in Paris, which marked the birth of cinema. This is the first of...
