THE HISTORY OF MOTION PICTURES

Modern motion picture making began with the invention of the motion picture camera. 
The Frenchman Louis Lumiere is often credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. But in truth,
several others had made similar inventions around the same time as Lumiere. What Lumiere invented was a portable
 motion-picture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe, three functions covered in one invention. 

The Cinematographe made motion pictures very popular, and it could be better be said that Lumiere's invention
 began the motion picture era. In 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to present projected, moving,
 photographic, pictures to a paying audience of more that one person.

"The cinema is an invention without a future" - Louis Lumière

 

Celebrity's

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention.

The word stems from the Latin adjective celeber meaning famous or celebrated. While fame is generally considered
a necessary precondition for celebrity status, it is not always sufficient. There has to be a level of public interest in the
person, which may or may not be connected to the reason they are famous.

Each country has its own independent celebrity system, with a hierarchy of popular film, television, and sports stars.
Celebrities who are very popular in one country, such as South Africa , might be unknown abroad, except with culturally-related groups. In some cases, a country-level celebrity might command some attention outside their native country, but not to the degree that they can be considered a global celebrity.
