Early photographic processes in the 19th century required long exposure times and were not suitable for capturing moving images. In the 1870s, emulsions became sensitive enough to take photos in fractions of a second. In 1878, Eadward Muybridge developed the first system to capture sequential still photos of moving objects using multiple cameras triggered by trip wires. George Eastman later invented roll film, allowing for longer recordings. Thomas Edison further developed motion picture technology in the late 1880s through inventions like the Kinetograph and Kinetoscope. The Lumiere brothers began commercially exhibiting early films in 1895, recognizing the business potential of cinema. Narrative films soon emerged as a way to distinguish productions and build successful businesses in the new
