史上第一部電影為什麼是《火車進站》

1895 年盧米埃兄弟向大眾展現火車進站的畫面時，觀眾被活生生的影像嚇得驚惶四散。從此，活動攝影不只在人類紀實工具的發展史上具有劃時代的意義，而且火車進站的鏡頭也象徵着電影技術發展的源起。

1888年，愛迪生開始研究活動照片，當伊斯曼發明了連續底片後，愛迪生立刻將連續底片買回來，請威廉甘乃迪和羅利狄克生着手進行研究。

1891年，愛迪生申請影像映出管和攝影裝置的發明專利權，這是“西洋鏡”電影的鼻祖。愛迪生髮明“西洋鏡”電影的想法是：由於西洋鏡一次只能由一個人去“窺看”，再借助人們的好奇心，如此便可以增加利益，於是這種電影一時間非常流行。不久，愛迪生又發明了世界最早的攝影棚，特別有助於電影的.發展。

19世紀末，電影的誕生從根本上説是科學技術與藝術相結合的綜合產物，使電影這門偉大的藝術叩響了20世紀的大門。
