HISTORY OF MOVING IMAGE
AMILA ADAM
 The word photography comes from two ancient
Greek words: photo, for "light," and graph, for
"drawing.“
 “DRAWING WITH LIGHT”
FIRST PICTURE CAPTURED
 Joseph Nicéphore
 Nicéphore Niépce's earliest surviving photograph of a
scene from nature, circa 1826, (France).
 whether a running horse ever had all four legs lifted
off the ground at once
 n 1877, under the sponsorship of Leland
Stanford, Eadweard Muybridge successfully
photographed a horse named "Sallie Gardner" in
fast motion using a series of 24 stereoscopic
cameras
UNITED STATES
 One of the first signals of significant power that
carried voice and music was accomplished in 1906
by Reginald Fessenden when he made aChristmas
Eve broadcast to ships at sea from Massachusetts.
 his financial backers lost interest in the project,
 Early on, the concept of broadcasting was new and
unusual—with telegraphs, communication had
been one-to-one, not one-to-many. Sending out one-way
messages to multiple receivers didn't seem to have
much practical use.
UNITED STATES
 The National Broadcasting
Company began regular
broadcasting in 1926, with
telephone links between New
York and other Eastern cities. NBC
became the dominant radio
network, splitting into Red and Blue
networks.
BRITAIN
 The first experimental broadcasts,
from Marconi's factory
in Chelmsford, began in 1920.
 In 1922 a consortium of radio
manufacturers formed the British
Broadcasting Company (BBC)
SRILANKA
 Sri Lanka has the oldest radio
station in Asia (world's second
oldest)
 Radio Ceylon. It developed into
one of the finest broadcasting
institutions in the world. It is now
known as the Sri Lanka
Broadcasting Corporation.
SRILANKA
 Sri Lanka created broadcasting history in Asia when
broadcasting was started in Ceylon by the Telegraph
Department in 1923 on an experimental footing, just
three years after the inauguration of broadcasting in
Europe.
 Edward Harper who came toCeylon as Chief Engineer of
the Telegraph Office in 1921, was the first person to
actively promote broadcasting in Ceylon.
 Television broadcasting (telecast), experimentally from
1925, commercially from the 1930s: this video-
programming medium was long-awaited by the general
public and rapidly rose to compete with its older radio-
broadcasting sibling.
 The first regular television broadcasts began in 1937.
Broadcasts can be classified as "recorded" or "live“
 1928 - First television news broadcast was on the May
10th 1928 when Kolin Hager read news and weather
reports in front of a microphone what was, in effect, a
video camera
 On September 7, 1927, in his lab
at the bottom of Telegraph Hill,
21-year-old Phil Farnsworth’s
invention transmitted the blurry
image of a line. With his “Lab
Gang,” as the researchers called
themselves, he perfected the
technology, in the next year
transmitting shapes, and a few
years later sending signals from
the lab at 202 Green Street to
the Merchants’ Exchange
Building on Battery and
Washington—8 blocks away.
 This is the First Television Set in
the World: The “Baird Televisor”,
1928 An early experimental and
demonstration “Baird-type”
television receiver with 30 lines,
and Nipkow disc which turned
with a speed of 750 rpm
producing 12 1/2 pictures per
second. The motor still runs on a
standard 18-volt battery. A
spectacular demonstration
model of the birth of television!
Picture after the jump.
 Surprisingly color TV came
out in 1953. Although this was
the first color TV broadcast,
color TV's did not starting
selling in large quantities until
the late 1960's. Then in the
1970's it was pretty much the
standard.
Thank You
