Event of the year 1895: Jan 17th- Felix Faure installed as president of France. Feb 14th- Oscar Wilde's Importance of Being Earnest, opens in London. Mar 30th- British inventor Birt Acres films Oxford and Cambridge boat race.
- The Lumiere brothers films were about the moments of everyday life.
- The Lumiere brothers films was each 17 meters long, which, when hand cranked through a projector, runs approximately 50 seconds.
- In my point of view the Cinematography of the first films and cinematography of the films of our days, they have very big difference, because of a lot of criteria such as: Script- Storyboard- Music- Color-Time and etc.At that time it was't easy to make a film therefore, their films was no longer than 1 minute, but now days we can make a long film how long we want it and also in color pictures as well thanks to the films and techniques development.
