Later in the 1890s, people began making their own versions of portable cameras, while Lincoln's camera was always mounted on a tripod, to prevent the moving parts from breaking.

Although foreign films are in second place, American cinema does not see a position lower than first in the near future. Thanks to the film industry, our country is now prouder than ever. American has gathered many famous actors such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman, each with their own unique acting style. The directors are not second either. We have produced hundreds of the most creative and dedicated directors to ever emerge in cinema. Modern cinema has clearly grown significantly since cinema began 1867.
