cinematography
Cinematography (Greek from ϰίνημα kínēma , “movement”, also “vibration”, “change” and γράφειν gráphein , “(describing)”) encompasses the entire range of apparatus technology for recording and reproducing photographic moving images and is still mainly used in the technical language used in film technology. In the past, cinematography also stood for the process of recording itself and for the art of film .
history
The term cinematography originated in the early film era. It was derived from the French cinématographe , which the Lumière brothers used to describe their combination device, which combined the functions of camera, copier and projector. The first public cinematographic presentation that could be described as such was probably the presentation of the Latham brothers on May 20, 1895. In previous performances, for example by Ottomar Anschütz (1887 and 1894), Émile Reynaud(first performance 1892) or Edison (from 1894), techniques were used that had little in common with later film projection. Usually it was a question of single vision devices or devices that still worked with photographic plates.
