BLOG QUESTION: EARLY FILM SCAVENGER HUNT P.1

Take a few minutes online to search out and find one early short silent film you like that was made before 1910. Embed the video in your blog.

Why do you like this early silent film? What is so interesting about it? What are two common things you noticed about the movie you saw while searching for your video on YouTube?

I liked this silent film because it's a blend of stop-motion with real-life film, and it's a holiday movie. It's a creative idea because it takes you inside the mind of a child who's dreaming about a toy he just bought, and I can see how it would be a funny film back in the day. I'm curious about how long it took to film the stop-motion part as there seems to be a lot of moving parts and characters. One common thing I noticed about all the silent films that i skimmed through was that all of them were in black and white, and they followed the same composition, varying in shot sizes but not very much the angles. I also noticed that the transition between scenes were pretty simple and consisted of fade to blacks or superimposition.
