The history of what we call cinema today began in the
early 19th century. At that time, scientists discovered that when
a sequence of still pictures were set in motion, they could give
the feeling of movement. In the first two decades of its
existence, the cinema developed rapidly. In those early days,
films were little more than moving photographs, usually about
one minute in length. By 1905, however, films were about five
or ten minutes long. They used changes of scene and camera
positions to tell a story, with actors playing character parts. In
the early 1910s, audiences were able to enjoy the first long
films, but it was not until 1915 that the cinema really became

an industry. From that time, film makers were prepared to
make longer and better films and build special places where
only films were shown. The cinema changed completely at the
end of the 1920s. This was when sound was introduced. The
change began in America and soon spread to the rest of the
world. As the old silent films were being replaced by spoken
ones on the screen, a new cinema form appeared, the musical
cinema.
