Man has been so creative that it started with pictographs to tell a story. Then came words along with small pictures. Centuries after paintings were created. Then the first ever still camera allowed man to capture moments in life or take pictures to tell a story or depict anything. Although still pictures didn’t include sound, radios did that. Then the first ever motion camera was invented and man was astounded at the limitless possibilities of showing a story. Years after, sounds, colors, lights and more were included.
