Question

Which of these entrepreneurs invented a motion picture camera that did NOT use electricity, and thus was portable and taken all over the world? Question 2 options: A) Georges Melies B) Thomas Edison C) Edmund S. Porter D) The Lumiere Brothers

Answer 1

Answer:D) The Lumière Brothers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Auguste and Louis Lumière were two of the first filmmakers in history. They created and improved the Cinematograph (1890s in Lyon), which is a motion picture camera. Unlike Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, which was not portable, the Cinematograph was able to work without electricity, so it was operated by a hand-crank. As well the Cinematograph could project an image onto a screen allowing more than one person to view the images.
