两位卢米埃尔夫人在为一艘出港的小船送行。画面巧妙的运用了对角线式的构图方法。右上角的后景中是防波堤及站在上面的两位夫人和她们的女儿，左下角的前景中则是她们目送出港的两个奋力划浆的戴礼帽的男人；不断冲击堤岸的海浪具有一种立体感。画面上地平线与海平面重叠，位于画面上方三分之一处，与黄金分割率的构图原则出奇符合，画面后方的天空和海洋，不但展现出海洋的空间感，而且给观众以想像的余地。总之本片在构图方面具有那种“堪与现代最好的画面相匹敌的真正的美。”卢米埃尔夫人的钟罩式长衫被海风吹涨开来，她手中挥动着毛巾，表现出一种依依惜别的深情。

美国无声短片《救火的场面》（英语：Fire Rescue Scene），摄于1894年12月，制作人是威廉·迪克森（William.K.Dickson）和威廉·海斯（William Heise），这个场面是由演员扮演的。

狄克逊摄制的初期影片之一，可以说是最早的影片，片长都不超过30秒；它们能象“走马盘”的画片那样，可以循环重复表现。观众是通过“电影视镜”上的一个放大镜来观看这种比明信片还要小的影戏的。 ”——《世界电影史》萨杜尔

The Dickson Experimental Sound Film is a film made by William Dickson in late 1894 or early 1895. It is the first known film with live-recorded sound and appears to be the first example of a motion picture made for the Kinetophone, the proto-sound-film system developed by Dickson and Thomas Edison. (The Kinetophone—consisting of a Kinetoscope accompanied by a cylinder-playing phonograph—was not a true sound-film system as no attempt was made to synchronize image and audio throughout playback.) The film was produced at the "Black Maria," Edison's New Jersey film studio. There is no evidence that it was ever exhibited in its original format. Newly digitized and restored, it is the only surviving Kinetophone film.
The movie features Dickson playing a violin into a recording cone for an off-camera wax cylinder.[1] The melody is from a barcarolle, "Song of the Cabin Boy," from Les Cloches de Corneville (literally The Bells of Corneville; presented in English-speaking countries as The Chimes of Normandy), a light opera composed by Robert Planquette in 1877.[2] In front of Dickson, two men dance to the music. In the final seconds, a fourth man briefly crosses from left to right behind the cone. The running time of the restored film is seventeen seconds; the accompanying cylinder contains approximately two minutes of sound, including twenty-three seconds of violin music, encompassing the film's soundtrack. After its restoration in 2000, the Dickson Experimental Sound Film was selected for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry.

Annabelle (Whitford) Moore performs one of her popular dances. For this performance, her costume has a pair of wings attached to her back, to suggest a butterfly. As she dances, she uses her long, flowing skirts to create visual patterns.

奥古斯特·卢米埃尔身穿长袖衬衣，正在指挥工人拆除一堵危墙。画面上清晰的出现了一个身穿绒裤的泥瓦匠，和一段残垣断壁最终坍塌时溅起的尘雾。

本片的故事情节非常简单，取景于一个花园。园丁在花园里手持水管给花圃浇水。顽皮的小男孩刚好路过，便开始了他的恶作剧。他偷偷的用脚踩住水管，使水流停止。纳闷的园丁正低头检查水管口时，小男孩一下子缩回了脚。园丁被喷得一脸水，小男孩则在身后得意的坏笑。生气的园丁追着小男孩一顿打，然后接着给花圃浇水。短短一分钟的生活片段，却上演了一出蕴含噱头的喜剧故事。
《水浇园丁》是路易斯·卢米埃尔对故事情节片进行的一次探索，并开创了喜剧片的先河。本片成为日后故事片的鼻祖和雏形，奠定了电影艺术的基础。

1895年12月28日法国卢米埃尔兄弟俩在一家咖啡馆里公开放映了《工厂大门》、《火车进站》等影片，被电影史确认为电影诞生之日。
《工厂大门》可称为第一部广告宣传片。摄影机在门外记录了下班工人走出门外，骑车的，走路的，一幅自然真实的景象。乔治萨杜尔说“至今还使人感到一种朴素的魅力。”大门在略靠右边，在中间靠左的地方还有一个小门，因为光线暗，所以是黑色的。大门和小门刚好形成黄金分割。从大门出和从小门出的人，在构图上，也形成力量的平衡。
《工厂大门》在表现了工人以后，接着是一辆由两匹骏马拉着的马车载着厂主们驰进大门。

电影的发明者卢米埃尔兄弟，于1895年利用“活动摄影机”拍摄了世界上第一批电影，这一年也成为了电影的诞生年。
《火车进站》是他们最有名的和最被人仿效的作品之一。在影片《火车进站》中，火车头冲着镜头呼啸而过，当时的观众看了大吃一惊，十分恐慌，以为真会被火车轧死，吓得惊慌四散。
