The name of this film is Battleship Potempkin and it was directed by Eisenstein. This film is important because it introduces us to montage and lots of it. Eisenstein puts a bunch of mini shots together and at a specific speed to help us get the feeling of what the silent film is trying to portray. The next film is called a Trip to The Moon and that was directed by Melies. This film shows us the use of effects and how it was first used. The next picture shows us one of the earliest films known as train arrival at la ciotat directed by lumiere. This shows us how film was first used.

1. The name of this film is Battleship Potempkin, directed by Eisenstein. It shows the famous montage of the baby carriage moving down the stairs.

2. The name of this second film is Trip to the Moon, directed by Melies. It shows the first footage with super awesome special effects.

3.The name of this third film is Train arrival at La Ciotat, directed by the Lumiere brothers. This film shows us a short clip of everyday life. The camera angle never changes. It stays in one spot.

Battleship Potemkin by Eisenstein- shows a montage of things happening in the movie.

A trip to the moon by Melies- A starting special effects like the disappearing of the space creatures through thin air.

Arrival of a train by Lumiere- Shows an everyday life of a train and what people do and respond to the recordings.
