WEEK1

Studies of "A TRIP TO THE MOON"1902






First week of class we learn the history of movies in American that was "The silent era". 
The learning of invention of photography, creating moving pictures and operated coin box.
That displayed the first copyrighted film April 14, 1894 - "The Sneeze". Also led to french theater magician that created the movie "A Trip to the Moon".

	The film was the 1st science fiction film that uses animation and special effects.  The film was based on a group of astronomers who travel to the moon in a cannon like object and explore the moon surface. Their were monster that the group of astronomers had to fight to get back on earth. The movie had dramatic music playing to express emotions and movements in the movie because it was a silent film. The movie was very funny to me on how the astronomer were so goofy before shooting into cannon to get the moon.
