THE BEGINING OF THE CINEMA (CORRECCION)

The movies are really entretain, some are of accion, like Fast and Furious, kill Bill, The watchmen, etc, some are of humor, for kids, drama, of love, or my favorites, Thrillers.

This movies can be watched with the family, with our friends, eating popcorns, nachos, or hot dogs :9 any way, the movies is sometimes a way to comunicate, how the director feels, or to make you feel the history real, the movies are, sometimes, artistics ways to express ourselves, but, where they come?

In this proyect we gonna explore the roots of the cinema, the beginnig, since the first movies at black and white and a check of the most modern movies, the movies in 3D and the new 4D.

The cinema starts when moving images were produced on revolving drums and disks in the 1830s with independent invention by Simon von Stampfer (Stroboscope) in Austria, Joseph Plateau (Phenakistoscope) in Belgium and William Horner (zoetrope) in Britain.

In 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. The experiment took place on June 11 at the Palo Alto farm in California with the press present. The exercise was meant to determine whether a running horse ever had all four legs lifted off the ground at once. The cameras were arranged along a track parallel to the horse's, and each camera shutter was controlled by a trip wire which was triggered by the horse's hooves. They were 21 inches apart to cover the 20 feet taken by the horse stride, taking pictures at one thousandth of a second.

At the Chicago 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, Muybridge gave a series of lectures on the Science of Animal Locomotion in the Zoopraxographical Hall, built specially for that purpose in the "Midway Plaisance" arm of the exposition. He used his zoopraxiscope to show his moving pictures to a paying public, making the Hall the first commercial film theater.

Some years later Eugene Augustin Lauste devised his Eidoloscope for the Latham family. But the first public screening of film ever is due to Jean Aimé "Acme" Le Roy, a French photographer. On February 5, 1894, his 40th birthday, he presented his "Marvellous Cinematograph" to a group of around twenty show business men in New York City.

The movies ere something that we enjoy since the imagination of the director to the special effects or the story, and is very interesting to know the beginnig of the cinema

Dead's day

The Dead's day is a very famous celebration in México, we celebrate it the first and the second of November, in this celebration  we put the ofrenda that consist in flowers of cempasuchitl, oranges, bananas, dead's bread, golletes, incienso, mole, and the food that our family liked to eat, also some people put cigars, alcohol, pictures, toys... etc.

This is my ofrenda :)

The children usually go home to home singing and asking from fruit, candy or bread,. in other places like la condesa, this children ask for money.
This is the song that sings in my town, San Gregorio:"Ave María Purísima, sin pecado concedido.
Salgan, salgan, salgan, animas en pena, rompan sus cadenas, un rosario santo, una ave María y un Padre Nuestro.
Padre Nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre, venganos a tu reino, hagase señor tu voluntad aquí en la tierra como en el cielo, danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día, perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdanomos a los que nos ofenden, no nos dejes caer en la tentación y libranos de todo mal amén.
Ya llegó la chilindrina a pedir su mandarina..."
Some people say other rhymes but this is the original song in my town. :)
Also we go to the pantheon and clean the graves, put flowers, candles, talk and remember the people that gone., the most important of this day is remember our dead people and never forget it.
