Chronophotography

“Similar to what we know today as ‘time-lapse’ photography, the Chronophotography technique is where a sequence of still images are captured over a pre-determined period, then arranged into a single photograph for analysis. A precursor to cinematography, chronophotography was used to study changes in movement” (Corbett 2008).
