Published by nosheen at 4:03 am under Movies

Since the invention of motion picture camera in 1895 by Louis Lumieres and his brother, motion pictures or movies have us spellbound with their magical power and equally enchanting visual appeal. Visual arts have always struck a harmonious chord with the public as it engages predominantly the sense of sight. Initially, the movies that were made were based on the sole objective of providing visual pleasure and that is why, the trend of motion pictures started with silent movies. These movies thrived basically on account of their novelty, extra-ordinary antics on camera, etc. People in the early part of the 20th century flocked to watch movies. Gradually, as time elapsed, motion pictures acquired a completely new meaning and became indispensable to society.

Undoubtedly, various film industries across the world such as Hollywood, Bollywood, etc. are some of the most proliferating industries in the world. Every year dozens and dozens of movies are churned out for the benefit of the movie buffs and the progress of the film industry.
