"A Trip to the Moon" was an interesting look at early cinematography. It was fascinating to see what early "special effects" entailed, like how the smoke explosion was physically small but knocked down all five of them due to the implied effect. It had a surrealist vibe, and many small details were amusing to me. For example, the fact that they all had umbrellas on the moon and even used them as weapons. I also liked the way the camera got closer to the moon as they were traveling towards it, rather than the other way around. It was good that this video had commentary, otherwise I'm not quite sure I would have known what was going on. Overall, this was an interesting video to portray early films.
