Julia Kotkin: My invention could photograph the action on 50-foot-strips of film 16 images per foot. But to tell you the truth my assistant William K. L. Dickson built a small lavatory called the "Black Maria"- a shed in New York painted black inside and out so no sun light go come through. In the black Maria people came to watch Fred Ott's sneeze that is just a man sneezing.During the Great Depression and the World War II, movie house with my moving pictures in side it offered an inexpensive "escape" it cost me about 640 dollars to make the shebrand of course I got all the credit even though Willian under my direction made the whole thing I got all the credit my scheme worked.

It differed from prior attempts to capture moving images by running long strips of celluloid film behind a camera’s lens. While the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in 1902 that Edison could only patent the mechanisms for doing this, not the idea, for most of the following century any filmmaking merely innovated Edison-s design. The 20th Century-s historical record in film traces back to Edison- s Kinetograph. Print stories and still photographs could not communicate ” or mediate ” the full intensity of historic events the way that moving pictures could.Confused? [|Here] ‘s a little help. It likely made the biggest difference in the United States during the Great Depression and World War II. In difficult times movie houses offered an inexpensive escape. During the war, news reels brought the battlefront to the home front. The truth of film became a two-edged sword. Film footage that Adolf Hitler used to document his final solution proved Third Reich travesties to the world. At the same time, French and U.S. D-Day footage seemed too graphic for audiences then. Shelved for decades, its release in the 1990s acted like a time machine, and brought more serious and realistic dialogue about war. The Kinetograph has changed the world by changing the way people see themselves, and influencing how they act on what they perceive.
