Zoetrope

The zoetrope is a device which puts still images into motion and creates moving images. The advantages of using a zoetrope is its a simple device which shows a short number of frames which are animated to create the illusion of a moving image. Another advantage is that its easy to people to use and more than one person can watch it at the same time, this will catch the audiences eye as its easy to see.
Persistence of vision is the split in the cylinder to make a persons mind mesmorize every frame as it turns around as the first and last frame are the same it repeats itself again to make an infant loop of illusion.
Its disadvantage is that its too short and people can lose focus easily, as you also have to make sure you look inbetween the slits than upwards it may be confusing.
