In his " photographic views lively " (as he calls his reels ) , which are the same as the first American primitivism "Movies" , however he showed a mastery of framing and light which largely explains the successful achievements. The choice of natural scenery and a beautiful exhibition are the press exclaims: " This is the life , the movement caught live " . Louis is very natural position of shooting diagonal field relative to the movement of the characters (at that time , movies Edison - Dickson know only the front layout) . But it is true that U.S. competitors and predecessors also spontaneously discover the attractiveness of frames together ( what we call the Close and - quite rightly - American Plan) , Louis Lumière failing to get closer to his subjects, retained by a characteristic modesty of the time, a modesty that does not feel Laurie Dickson , he raunchiest in their choices and framing, do not hesitate to put his camera directly under the nose of his personnages . I must say that the tandem Edison - Dickson is not the same audience as the two brothers Lyon .

Auguste and Louis Lumière , one of the few French honored at Hollywood Walk of Fame
Quickly, the Lumière brothers are aware of the interest of their Cinematograph film with picturesque images of the world and show projection , or sell them with the camera. Commercial purposes , they refuse to give their invention patents Georges Méliès them yet offers a small fortune. They even try to discourage future and talented competitor in predicting his ruin if it launches in the production of films ( Méliès closes his Star Film Company in 1923, after winning a lot of money through his films, and ruin is mainly due to his misunderstanding of the future of cinema, and his determination to consider the films as byproducts of music-hall ) . The Lumière brothers , they have the wisdom to stop producing films in 1902, when they understand that cinema is a new language which they have knowledge or rules to come or the importance of going take over the world . That does not ignore the inventor of filmmaking , Thomas Edison, who predicted that "the cinema was later one of the pillars of human culture "
