Other essential predecessors of film were those devices that created the illusion of motion by taking advantage of the persistence of vision and the stroboscopic effect, such as the thaumatrope, phenakistoscope or wheel of life, zoetrope or magic drum and praxinoscope and later on, the more sophisticated flip-books such as the kinora and the mutoscope.

Picture montage was a central aspect in the early history of visual media. As early as the 16th century, techniques such as the folding picture montage anticipated those used in film today. Other examples of early forms of montage are transparencies, picture puzzles and blow books, which direct the gaze towards hidden information. In the myriorama, the multi-thousand picture show, it is possible to assemble infinite landscapes.

Le film montre comment est créé l'illusion de l'espace. Cette nouvelle dimension de l'image est obtenue à l'aide des images cachées, des théâtres de perspective dans les boîtes optiques, les dioramas dépliants et finalement par la stéréoscopie, qui annonce déjà les hologrammes actuels. (Jaquette).
