Week 3 - Cinematic Reconfigurations of Space and Place

Having taken a film course here at Brock, I recognize many of the films referenced in this week's lecture. The Lumiere Brothers' "Arrival of a Train Entering The Station" as well as "Workers Leaving the Factory" in 1895 were some of the first modern films, just consisting of short clips in which the camera was stationary and everyone and everything moved around the camera. Georges Melies' "A Trip to the Moon" from 1902 really expanded on the Lumiere Brothers techniques, using what can be deemed "special effects" for the time with the man in the moon. I just love that one image of the moon:

Classic. haha
