The Film - history
The first camera also called the camera obscura was invented in 1500s by Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham).
German scientist Johann Heinrich Schulze conducted the first experiments
with photo-sensitive chemicals in 1727, proving that silver salts were
sensitive to light. (https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331)
Joseph Nicephore Niepce was the first one to develop photographic image with a camera obscura. It took him eight hours of light exposure to create an image that would soon fade away.
It took many years before it was possible to exposure the image in less than 30 minutes and to stop the image from disapearing. Louis Daguerre fixed the images onto a sheet of silver-plated copper. He then polished the silver and coated it in iodine, creating a surface that was sensitive to light.
Then he put the plate in a camera and exposed it for a few minutes. After the image was painted by light, Daguerre bathed the plate in a solution of silver chloride. This process created a lasting image that would not change if exposed to light. (https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331)
In 1839 a booklet describing the process was published.
Henry Fox Talbot sensitized paper to light using a silver-salt solution. Then the paper was exposed to light.
The background was black, the subject was rendered in gradations of gray. This was a negative image. From the paper negative, Talbot made contact prints, reversing the light and shadows to create a detailed picture. In 1841, he perfected this paper-negative process and called it a calotype, Greek for "beautiful picture." (https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331)
In 1851, Frederick Scoff Archer used glass with light-sensitive silver salts which created a more stable and detailed negative.
In 1879 we were introduced to the dry plate. They were coated with a dried gelatin emulsion, meaning they could be stored for a period of time and they they could have been developed long time after the shoot has been taken.
George Eastman invented film with a base that was flexible, unbreakable, and could be rolled. The earliest cameras used a variety of medium-format film standards, including 120, 135, 127, and 220. All of these formats were about 6cm wide and produced images that ranged from rectangular to square.

In 1913. Kodak, invented the 35mm film. In the mid-1920s Leica was the first one to create the first still camera that used the 35mm format. In the early 1940s, commercially viable color films were brought to the market by Kodak, Agfa, and other film companies. (https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331)
Edwin Herbert Land in 1948, unveiled his first instant-film camera, the Land Camera 95. His Polaroid Corporation would refine black-and-white film. The color film was introduced in 1963 and created the iconic SX-70 folding camera in 1972.

The cameras in the past were builded of a box with the lens placed in front of it. Second, smaller box slid into the back of the larger box. The focus was controlled by sliding the rear box forward or backward. When the sensitized plate was placed in the camera, the lens cap would be removed to start the exposure.
