Star Voyager - George Melies film " A Trip to the Moon' (1902)

1.George Melies film " A Trip to the Moon' (1902) can be thought as a science fiction movie due to the depicting of things and creatures that don't exist, by this descriptions though could mean fantasy. the difference between this and a fantasy is that it is depicting something that possibly could happen(in the eye of the people viewing it in its time period), back when this was made 1902 rockets didn't exist but cannons did, so they used that logic to make a was to get to the moon. we all know now that that wouldn't work now, but back then it was plausible to believe it.


The movie becomes a drama as soon as the fight happens as the movie is then not depicting potential science, but rather keeping the audience entertained.


lang's Women in the mood (1929) shown a more realistic depiction on space travel because they had shown G force push against the body while accelerating, also they were using rockets to get to the moon, we still use them today for space travel.


The layout of the exhibition in some parts reminded me of some form of the inside of a space ship.


i would of possibly of made that theme they had going on making one of the corridors look like a space shit throughout the whole exhibition. The only advertisements i saw for this exhibition where out on the street on the was to the exhibition, i would of been a better idea to of advertised this exhibition more externally, radio, tv ect.


also seeing the suit from one of my favourite movies was pretty cool,the movie was Sunshine (golden suit at the back of the exhibition)
