LUMIERE BROTHERS TRAIN

ANZAR

LUMIERE BROTHER

• LUMIERE BROTHER WAS THE FRENCH INVENTORS AND PIONEER MANUFACTURERS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT BACK IN THE DAY. THE BROTHERS WERE BORN IN THE 1860S, THEY MADE HISTORY IN THE 1890S, THIS IS WHERE THEY GOT INTO THE FILM INDUSTRY.

WHAT DOES THIS FILM SHOW?• IN THIS SHORT FILM WE CAN SEE A OLD TRAIN COMING TOWARDS A STOP,

THIS STOP COULD MEAN THAT THERE IS A TRAIN STATION AT THAT STOP. AS THE TRAIN FULLY COMES TO A STOP WE SEE PEOPLE JUMPING OFF AND JUMPING ON. THE TRAIN TAKES MORE THAN HALF OF THE WHOLE SCENE TO COME TO A STOP, EVENTUALLY WHEN THE TRAIN HAS STOPPED WE SEE PEOPLE IN A RUSH, SOME RUNNING, SOME WALKING FOR THE TRAIN. WE CAN SEE THIS TRAIN WAS A REALLY OLD ONE AS IT WAS RELEASING SMOKE FROM THE TOP, THEREFORE THIS FILM WAS SHOT A VERY LONG TIME AGO.

EDITS AND SHOTS• IN THIS CLIP WE CANT REALLY SEE MUCH EDITS

AND NOT MANY SHOTS, WE CAN SEE THAT THE CAMERA IS CAPTURING THE WHOLE TRAIN AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHICH MAKES THIS A LONG SHOT. HOWEVER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS FROM THE ACTORS/ACTRESS WAS NOT ADDED AS IT WASN’T THE MAIN FOCUS. THE SHOT WAS FOR US TO ANALYSE THE TRAIN COMING IN AND NOT THE FACIAL EXPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE.

TASK 1B

A TRIP TO THE MOON

WHAT DOES THIS FILM SHOW?• IN THIS FILM WE SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A

ROCKET THAT IS HOPING TO REACH THE MOON, AFTER BUILDING THE ROCKET IT IS SET FOR TAKE OFF AND AMAZINGLY THE ROCKET TOKE OFF. AFTER A SCENE WHERE THE MOON WAS GETTING CLOSER INSTEAD OF THE CAMERA MOVING, THE ROCKET HAD FINALLY TOUCHED DOWN ON TO THE MOON. THEY INVESTIGATE THE MOON AND ENAGAGE WITH SOME TYPE OF HUMAN LIFE. AFTER THAT’S DONE THEY RETURN BACK TO THE ROCKET TO HEAD BACK TO EARTH, AFTER FALLING IN TO THE SEA AND BEING PULLED OUT BY A BOAT THEY EVENTUALLY REACH LAND AND CELEBRATE THEIR ACHIEMVENTS WITH HAPPINESS.

GEORGE MEILIES• GEORGES MELIES WAS BORN IN 1861, DECEMBER ON THE 8TH. HE

WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PARIS, FRANCE. HE WAS THE FIRST EVER TO FILM FICTIONAL NARRATIVES. THE FIRST GENUINE MOVIE MADE WAS IN PARIS, 1895. HE WAS AN EARLY FRENCH EXPIREMENTER FOR MOTION PICTURES.

TASK 1C

EDWIN S.PORTER

• EDWIN S. PORTER WAS BORN APRIL 21, 1870, IN CONNELLSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA. IN 1897, HE INVENTED THE BEADNELL FILM PROJECTOR. HE WAS THE DIRECTOR-CAMERA MAN FOR A COMPANY CALLED THE EDISON, HE LATER ON FILMED THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY WHICH WAS A HIT BACK IN THE 1900S.

CONTINUTY EIDITNG• IN THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY WE SEE A LOT OF

CONTINUITY EDITING AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE FILM IS ONE MASSIVE SCENE THAT JUST HAS CUTS. THE SCENE WHERE THE ROBBERS CHASE THE TRAIN THEN THE CAMERA SKIPS TO WHEN THEY ARE ON THE TRAIN AND THE SCENE CARRIES ON NORMALLY, THIS IS CALLED CONTINUITY EDITING. ALSO ANOTHER PART IS WHEN THE Y FOUGHT ON THE TOP OF THE TRAIN IT SHOWED THEM CLIMBING UP THE LADDERS TO THE TOP AND THE CAMERA WENT FROM DOWNSTAIRS TO UPSTAIRS.

THE MOVIOLA• THIS MACHINE HERE IS CALLED THE MOVIOLA, THIS

ALLOWS FILM MAKERS AND EDITORS TO EDIT IN THE ADVANCED WAY. THIS ALLOWED PEOPLE TO VIEW THE FILM WHILE EDITING, THE FIRST EVER MOTION PICTURE EDITOR MADE.
