with an interest in creating a sensation of movement. Later on, in
ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, scenes full of narrative and movement
were created in their iconography. In China with shadow theatres and
later in Europe with the magic lantern, stories were recreated using
projections and shadows. With the invention of photography and retinal
persistence, the first inventions appeared (zootrope, praxinoscope,
thaumatrope and finally the Lumiere Brothers patented the cinematograph

Some of the resources are : camera angles, sequences, types of shots, movements, transitions...
About time: Shot, scene, sequence > Ellipsis, flashback, flash forward, parallel
Camera shot types are general designations
given to different shots so that Filmmakers can more easily communicate
and understand each other when discussing what the camera is capturing
