They were the earliest filmmakers within history. They began creating moving pictures in 1892 and legally protected a number of processes leading up to their film camera. The brothers actually worked together to overcome the limitations in which they saw within Edison's kinetoscope/ kinetograph. They did notice that the camera of the device was actually too large and heavy which therefore meant they would make their invention much smaller as well as more lightweight. Which for them, was therefore seen as an improvement. The device was invented in 1895, which was combined by camera and printer and projected and was called the Cinematographe.
The brothers kept their invention private which therefore on their first film screening which was shown on March the 19th 1895 and the audience wouldn't of been expecting this as it would have been the first time they had seen the brothers invention. Back in the day this would have been a huge deal for both the lumiere brothers as well as the audience. Due to their continuous use of private screenings, the audience would of generally been very loyal to have gone and watched their films. The brothers then began to start opening theatres, which are generally now known as cinemas.
