The inventor of lightbulbs is a main contributor of film?
Even though Thomas Edison is the creator of the lightbulb, he also dabbled with film! In 1878 he started to take photos and then put them in a slideshow to create an illusion of motion. He wasn't considered the first filmmaker but the first to see profit from it. Using his Kinetoscope, he was the first to deliberately stage actions for the camera. He built the first film production studio called Black Maria Studios that s et down basic precepts of commercial Hollywood production distribution, exhibitions still practiced today, giving audiences spectacles, sex, and violence, while maintaining a dominant social order. His first real hit film was The Kiss (1896) which showcased the first cinematic kiss on screen to viewers. His other films Rats and Terrier, Rats and Terrier No. 2 , Rats and Terrier No. 3, and Rats and Weasels were the first series of movies to come out. Edison knew what the audience wanted and how to give it to them....
