Melies

1) What did you notice/learn about Melies' style?
He is very comical and imaginative. In his movies everything looks like a bizarre dream. There are a lot of props that are used to drive the story.
2) Were there consistent elements in his films? What were they? There is always an element of magic in his movies, and there are always actors being filmed.
3) Did you enjoy his films? Which ones? Why? I really liked them actually! I think my favorite was The Triple Conjurer and the Living Head. I felt like I was watching a fantastical magic show. It left me wondering how he pulled it off and showed off his imagination.
4) What will you take away with you from watching these films? 

Movies can capture our dreams just as well as they capture reality. It really shows the endless possibilities of experimentation with film.
