In the history of cinema lecture today we learned that people like Thomas Edison and George Eastman helped the development of cinema. Eastman created flexible transparent roll film stock and Edison invented the Kinetoscope a box in which film was transported on a loop to give the illusion of movement. These are only few examples of developments that gave rise to the birth of cinema in 1895. Cinema was something that was a new way of entertainment that the everybody could see.
