    What product was the first photographic film used in still photography and motion pictures?

    Question #62727. Asked by Dusty42. (Feb 21 06 7:03 AM)

    		Still photography used glass with a chemical emulsion on it. I think celluloid film was used for motion pictures. It is very fragile and not many copies remain.

    		"The first flexible photographic film was made by Eastman Kodak in 1885. This "film" was coated on paper. The first transparent plastic film was produced in 1889. Before this, glass photographic plates were used, which were far more expensive and cumbersome, albeit also of better quality. Early photography in the form of daguerreotypes did not use film at all".
