Visions of Light 1 
I love this clip, Woven together with pieces of early film. This clip is of a documentary style and Talks about the use of cinematography.  A photographer has to know the story and how it is meant to read and what is the objective of the film.  This small clip captures the essence of what a cinematographic is as a member of crew. "if you turned off the sound track, anybody who would stick around and figure out what is going on " This how film should be that the image is as important as the audio.

Extract From Premier Program
How innovative, Film. 1895 June Lumiere Brothers. These are clips from the first film by Lumiere  Scenes such as walking and playing cards, horse riding and eating,  walls collapsing and  trains arriving at stations these are the first experimental shots that were taken with motion cameras. At the time this technology would have been amazing and awesome(in the sense of being in awe). Bewildering Audiences. These shadow ghosts of light walking on the wall may have scared people in the 1890's

A Trip to the Moon
Another early film by Melies in 1902. This film used Big sets and detailed the landing on the moon, This movie uses jump cuts and arrange of medium and long angles. This movie also has special effects such as smoke for disappearing and snow. There is clever use of a frame cut to indicate the solderer disappearing. Very innovating for its time.

The Great Train Robbery
Love seeing the evolution of film and how the use of more common elements were born.This movie demonstrates the elements of film such as the story could have two things happening at once eg. Train robbery and man tied up. I happened to notice that they image projection on to a screen for a special effect and I respect this as it is a method still used today and was used in the movie terminator in the helicopter scene and car chase screen.  The great methods don't die. This film also used medium and long shots and special effects such as smoke for an explosion.
