BLOG QUESTION: INVENTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Why do you think we wouldn't have filmmaking without the invention of photography? Pick three of these innovations on this list and explain their historical importance and why you think it led to the invention of motion pictures.

The technology used to create photography was the basis for the technology that creates film. If you think about it objectively, film is basically a series of images taken repeatedly to create the illusion of motion. I believe Dry Plates was an important innovation for photography and later contributed to the invention of film because it allowed for much quicker exposures, and you didn't need the knowledge of basic chemistry to know how to use it. I also believe the Calotype was an important innovation because it allowed for multiple copies of a single negative to be made.
