December 28, 1895, a sign was put up in front of the Grand Café, number 14, Boulevard des Capucines, Paris. It said: "Cinématographe LumiÅre." Nobody is interested in moving lanterns--so thought the LumiÅre brothers, the first men to project the cinema show, as well as the owner of the Café, M. Volpini, who diverted from his ordinary percentage commission to negotiate a flat fee for this showing, a showing of just 35 people in the Salon Indien in the basement of the establishment. Volpini was to regret his decision the next day, when he found out he had lost out on a fabulous deal. In the first LumiÅre film, La Sortie de L'Usine LumiÅre á Lyon (Workers Leaving the LumiÅre Factory), female and male workers came walking and biking out of the factory after work, just as if they were alive in front of the audience. The simple images were amazing enough for the Parisians of the time, that word of mouth spread like fire. It was the birth of The Entertainment of the 20th century. Three weeks later, there were three thousand people per day coming to see the film, and the police had to be summoned to keep order. Cinema was soon to be baptized by the same LumiÅre brothers and Georges MéliÅs. The LumiÅre brothers understood film as "a tool to replay life"; they educated enough technicians by the end of the century so that they could shoot landscapes and lifestyles of people around the world. In 1897, Girel arrived in Japan to record Meiji-era Japan with the movie camera. On the other hand, Méliès, originally a popular magician, viewed film as entertainment. He used camera tricks to put the then popular fantasy science onto the screen. In 1902, Jules Verne's Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon) was made into a film, amazing the audience by utilizing techniques such as double exposure, montage, close-up, and slow motion. The 1900 Paris World Expo offered a cinematic trip on a hot air balloon enclosed 360 degrees by a movie screen. Although it was called off after one day, due to fire precaution, there were other movie offerings with live music that symbolized the glorious advent of a new century of the moving picture.
