Cinematograph

A cinematograph is an early device that combines the functions of filming motion pictures and projecting them onto a screen. It captures real-life scenes through a series of rapidly moving photographs on film and then displays these images in quick succession to create the illusion of movement. Developed in the late 19th century, it was a key step in the evolution of cinema, allowing for the recording and viewing of moving images in a compact, portable form. The cinematograph played a vital role in making movies accessible, entertainment popular, and film technology more practical.
