초록

1895년 뤼미에르 형제에 의해 탄생한 영화는 최초의 것이 아니었다. 4년 전 영화 촬영기를 발명한 에디슨이 이미 수십 편이 넘는 영화를 만들고 있었기 때문이다. 이런 에디슨 영화는 상대적으로 저 평가되어왔다. 그것은 영화를 보여주는 플랫폼이 키네토스코프란 일인용 뷰어를 통한 방식이었기 때문이다. 그러나 영화 자체의 물리적인 특성은 현대영화와 동일하며 오히려 다른 초기영화들에 비해 독특한 미학적 차별성을 가지고 있다. 주제가 연예 오락 지향적이며 영상은 인위적 콘트라스트 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 영화 탄생 이전의 작품임에도 허구 영화가 추구하는 중요 창작요소들과 장르를 선보이고 있으며 산업수준의 제작 시스템과 전문가들을 갖추고 있었다. 뤼미에르의 영화가 사실을 그려낸 다큐멘터리 영화의 시작이라면 에디슨 영화는 현대영화의 특징인 흥행을 추구하는 대중영화의 시작으로 사적(史的) 가치를 부여할만하다.

The film born by Lumiere brothers in 1895 was not the first. Edison, who invented the Kinetograph four years ago, has already made dozens of films. But it has been relatively undervalued. That's because the platform for projecting a movie was through a single person viewer called Kinetoscope. However, the physical characteristics of the film itself are the same as those of modern films, and have a unique aesthetic distinction compared to other early films. The subject is entertainment-oriented, and the image is characterized by contrast effect. In addition, even before the birth of the film, it shows the important creative elements and genres pursued by fictional films, and has industrial production systems and experts. If Lumiere's film is the beginning of a documentary film that portrays the fact, Edison's film deserves historical value as the beginning of popular film, which is the hallmark of modern cinema.
