Today's video is a short film called A Trip to The Moon by Georges Melies. Directed in 1902, the video is a story about scientists that gathered in an attempt to figure a way to get to the moon. Very well directed, the video focuses on the acting and the decor, unlike today's videos which are way more focus on special effects. The special effects in the video are used to accompany and to help tell the story. The special effects in today's video are more to embellish the reality. It's interesting to see how futuristic it was especially considering the fact that we were only in 1902. Overall it is a really interesting video, very technical and it is a good way to see the past from a futuristic perspective.
