Motion pictures, moving pictures, or movies are an entrenched part of the timeline of photography. 

The question of how best to capture subjects in motion was first successfully answered by 
Eadweard Muybridge in response to settling a bet about horses hooves and galloping. The things
that move technology!

In short time, cameras and accompanying projects were invented to film continuous motion and
display them by means of projecting onto a large screen. Later innovations such as sound recording
get added in as well in due course.
