It is a sequence of still images that are slightly different played after each-other to make it give an illusion to the brain to make it look like they are moving.

On the Zoetrope you look through a slit and spin the circle, it shows the still images that fast giving off the illusion that they are moving.
Kinetoscope:
This is where the viewer looked through a peephole to look at the single images on a spinning wheel. When the viewer moved the lever so did the spinning wheel. This made the images mix together to make it look like they were moving.

Mutoscope:
The mutoscope is similar to the Kinetoscope whereas it has a level. When moving this lever it releases the flip-book pages to show the separate still images on each page. When flicking through it looks like the image is moving as the pictures are only slightly different.

Phenakistoscope:
The Phenakistoscope includes two moving disks at the same angle. One disk included slits to look through and the other had the separate images on. The disks are span at the same time in the same direction. This makes the images look like they are moving off the mirror.
