Answer
Louis Le Prince used a strip of paper film in his cameras to capture moving images. The strip of paper film was made of a thin, transparent sheet of cellulose nitrate, which was coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. When light struck the emulsion, it created a chemical reaction that caused the silver halide crystals in the emulsion to become opaque.
