Creating a Profession

How did the Movies come in to existence and how did that evolve into a industry itself giving livelihood for if not millions, thousands of people.
What are those strengths of yours , that when mixed together can bring together a new profession, especially that fills/insulates the void for another big set of people?
Take for example - movies always try to fill a void for people. Indian cinema focusses on hero and heroine. It capitalizes on the fact that all people like to be heroes and heroines and tries to showcase the best self. That was the business case for that industry.
Then the next step for creating the industry was to come up with roles and responsibilities for the different players. Then input, output, analysis story.
So if this is a topic. How do professions evolve?. How do industry models transpire?

A new profession begins small evolves based on the demand. Well.. first there is a need and that is tapped into an opportunity to make it a sustainable business model.
In the case of the movie industry, we know that long time back, the entertainment was a kind of puppet show or a stage act. When the show became popular these actors/group traveled across to diff places. Fast forward... technology adds in and hence the advent of a movie industry.

The business model still thrives on entertaining the public.
