Image for Kinematograph

Kinematograph

A kinematograph is an early device used to record and project motion pictures. It combines a camera that captures a sequence of images quickly, and a projector that displays these images in rapid succession, creating the illusion of movement. The term is often used interchangeably with "cinematograph," emphasizing its role in both filmmaking and film projection. This technology revolutionized entertainment by allowing moving images to be shared with audiences, laying the foundation for modern cinema. It works on the principle that our eyes perceive continuous motion when images are shown in rapid sequence, typically at around 24 frames per second.
