We started class with some acting games and then continued our discussion of Georges Méliès. We watched an excerpt from the film Hugo dramatizing the career of Méliès that featured some clips of actual Méliès films. We also saw a brief clip from a documentary about Méliès that showed how he did his tricks.
After a brief acting exercise to work on movement ("mirror"), we set about making a Méliès-esque magic trick film as an exercise. We'll edit it next week, but if you are curious to see it before the magic, click this link:

If any of you are curious to see some more of the early films I talked about or learn a little more about the history of early films, I've posted a separate post about early films. I'll soon post another with links to Méliès films. I'll do this sort of thing from time to time, and you can find all of these sorts of postings by searching for the label "film history."
See you next week!
