TRICK FILMS
One staple of early cinema
was films that showed the
"tricks" that could be done
with the camera
The execution of Mary
Queen of Scots
Edison 1895
One of the first
trick films - using
stop motion to
suggest the be-heading
James Williamson 1901
The Big Swallow
uses actor movement
rather than camera
to suggest the consumption
of the camera, camera operator
and hence the audience.
Hepworth's What it feels
to be run over 1901
using undercranking as the car
closes in on the camera. Also early
use of a title scratched on to the
celluloid
Hepworth's
Explosion of a motor car 1900
uses stop motion, to create the
illusion of the blowing up of a car
and its passengers.
It depends on our supposition of
a space beyond the frame
Mary Jane's Mishap
Smith 1903
extends the tricks to
produce a comic sequence
involving editing
Dream and Reality
1901
uses a graphic match edit
Trick shots were increasingly
