During our visit to the film museum, our attention was pulled towards these two devices.
Thaumatrope
We developed these two devices by changing the drawings to photographic images.
-John Ayrton Paris
-1825
-Argument over who was the 1st one to invent it.
- First exibited at the Royal College of Physicians
-Learning in children could be stimulated through use of amusement
-The simplest in design
-Demonstrates the delay between reality and the visual perception of reality
How it works
-A Thaumatrope is a small disc, held on opposite sides of its circumference by pieces of string.
-An image is drawn on each side of the disc, and its selected in such a way that when the disc is spun, the two images appear to become superimposed.
The Thaumatrope and Zoetrope
The Evolution of Cinema
Zoetrope
How the Thaumatrope developed
-William George Horner
-1834
-Daedatelum
-Eliminated the need for mirror
-The visual effect still in use today
-Persistence of Vision can be traced back
to Newton but first established by Joseph Plateau
-1887, patented by William F. Lincoln in America and M. Bradley in England
How it works
To create an illusion of motion, the drum is spun; the faster the rate of spin, the smoother the progression of images. A viewer can look through the wall of the Zoetrope from any point around it, and see a rapid progression of images.
As the Thaumatrope could only merge two images together, creating one still image, which led to the invention of the Phenakistoscope (1841)
