A brief History of cinema

 After reading chapter 1 "a brief history in cinema." My favorite movie/ clip was "A Trip to the Moon" which is a silent film that was released in 1902, and directed by Georges Méliès. The film is considered to be one of the first science fiction films ever made and is a landmark in the history of cinema. The story follows a group of scientists who build a rocket and fly to the moon, where they encounter a group of lunar inhabitants known as Selenites. 

The film was written, directed, and produced by Méliès, who was also the lead actor. The film is only 14 minutes long, but it was a major success in its day, drawing large crowds and earning critical acclaim. 

Méliès is considered to be one of the pioneers of cinema, and "A Trip to the Moon" is a testament to his brilliance as a filmmaker. He used a variety of special effects techniques to create the illusion of movement and a sense of adventure, and his use of color is particularly noteworthy. The film's iconic image of the rocket hitting the eye of the man in the moon is still widely recognized today.

"A Trip to the Moon" was a groundbreaking film that paved the way for the science fiction genre, as well as for special effects in cinema. It is also a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the film industry and the creative vision of Georges Méliès. The film has been preserved and is available to watch online, I recommend you to watch it and experience the magic of the first sci-fi film ever made.
