While You Read
Read the passage, and then do the tasks that follow.

The history of what we call cinema today began in the early 19th century. At
that time, scientists discovered that when a sequence of still pictures were
set in motion, they could give the feeling of movement. In the first two decades
of its existence, the cinema developed rapidly. In those early days, films were
little more than moving photographs, usually about one minute in length. By
1905, however, films were about five or ten minutes long. They used changes
the scene and camera positions to tell a story, with actors playing character
parts. In the early 1910s, audiences were able to enjoy the first long films, but
it was not until 1915 that the cinema really became an industry. From that time,
film makers were prepared to make longer and better films and build special
places where only films were shown. The cinema changed completely at the
end of the 1920s. This was when sound was introduced. The change began in
America and soon replaced by spoken ones on the screen, a new cinema form
appeared, the musical cinema.
