Although photography (the Greek word for "writing with

light") and Filmmaking are now so much a part of our visual world

that we take them for granted, they are relative recent inventions. 【1】______

From the time of the Renaissance, many artists had used the

CAMERA OBSCURA draw forms and linear perspective accurately. 【2】______

A camera obscura was a dark room or box With light entering in a 【3】______

tiny hole, perhaps focused on by a lens. An inverted image from the 【4】______

world beyond would be thrown on the opposite wall or side, and its

outlines could be traced on paper. But it was until the first half of【5】______

the nineteenth century that several researchers working independent 【6】______

of each other found ways to capture this image permanently.

Late in the nineteenth century, sequences of still pictures began【7】______

to lead to “movies.” In the mid-twentieth century, the technology 【8】______

of capturing moving images from the world had evolved wireless 【9】______

television broadcasts. And now computer video graphics have opened

up vast new range of possibilities that may or may not originate in 【10】______

the world that we see.
