There is a constant interchange of ideas between TV and film -- hit movies getting SpinOff series, popular TV series getting [[TheMovie big-screen outings]] -- so many tropes have entered TV from film, and vice versa.

SilentFilm established most of the basic CameraTricks, and is the home to many a DiscreditedTrope.

!!Really Old
* 1888 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1i40rnpOsA Roundhay Garden Scene]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7saH58usq4 Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge]] - possibly the first movies ever, and certainly the oldest known to still exist, were shot by Louis Le Prince on experimental camera.
* 1893-1895 - William K.L. Dickson, working at Thomas Edison's studio, shot [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qZa-RLtCU0 Blacksmith Scene]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PaJ1r0udvQ Fred Ott's Sneeze]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hH8BMgpQnI Carmencita]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PfqtorMruo The Great Sandow]], and others - the first commercial movies ever. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE_X3-EZz7Y Dickson Experimental Sound Film]], the first sound picture, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpNQJV8KblQ The Execution of Mary Stuart]], the first cinematic special effects, were also produced at the studio. In 1897, it [[TheRuleOfFirstAdopters introduced the world to the first pornographic movie]] with TheDoloritaPassionDance or ''Dolorita in the Passion Dance''. The film was removed from Atlantic City Kinetoscope parlors in 1895, this being perhaps the first instance of film {{Censorship}}.
* 1895-1896 - The Lumière brothers shot movies, including [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HVj7kezK98 The Sprinkler Sprinkled]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56a9kb4BvgA Employees Leaving the Factory]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dgLEDdFddk Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat]], establishing tropes such as the PracticalJoke, FauxDocumentary, and cinematic narrative in general.
* 1898-1905 - Georges Méliès shot pioneering movies such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOTzV_PL9vM The Four Troublesome Heads]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XaUjhEx3mo The Man with the Rubber Head]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaaY2eQ1Lv4 The One Man Band]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygGkBffo66k A Trip to the Moon]], [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x67qh4_le-voyage-a-travers-limpossible_fun The Impossible Voyage]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0AOPuus_So The Black Imp]], establishing many kinds of special effects and {{Special Effect}}s and genres such as ScienceFiction and Fantasy.
* 1903 - Edwin Porter directed [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc7wWOmEGGY The Great Train Robbery]] at Edison's studio.
* 1906 - The first ever feature-length film, {{The Story of the Kelly Gang}}, was filmed in Melbourne, Australia. Of course, in 1906, "feature-length" meant about forty-five minutes long, which was still many times longer than any other film made at that point. (Interestingly, ''The Story of the Kelly Gang'' was originally planned as a short film, but its runtime ballooned out as the filmmakers kept adding more and more footage.)
* 1908-1914 - D.W. Griffith directed lots of short films, inventing and/or popularizing more CameraTricks and other film tropes like:
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSF7p_DAAxw A Corner in Wheat]], one of the first movies to use CameraTricks to make social commentary points;
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp5a-GXgFXw The Girl and Her Trust]], an early suspense/action film with a climactic ChaseScene and a panic room scene that would make [[LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard MacGyver]] proud;
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG5hbpL8Njo The Musketeers of Pig Alley]], the first [[CrimeAndPunishment gangster film]]; and
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9mIR0y1WQM Judith of Bethulia]].
* 1911-1914 - {{Winsor McCay}} makes the first [[AnimatedTrope animated films]], including ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seOGEwx0NfQ Little Nemo]]'' and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY40DHs9vc4 Gertie the Dinosaur]].
* 1912 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIC0Sb6pLvI The Cameraman's Revenge]], one of the first examples of [[{{Claymation}} stop-motion animation]].
