In my first attempt at recreating Early cinema, I feel like I successfully achieved the stylisation of the cinemas of attraction by demonstrating the mundane activity of human day-to-day life. I chose to film myself checking the mail, with help from someone else who operated the camera under my direction, which is a repetitive compulsive behaviour that I do most days without even thinking about. I chose to use a pan in this one-shot video to add action and change to the video as I move to open the mailbox and then walk away. Nowadays, however, I would have replaced the shot with a different one. Perhaps a close up as it takes a lot in the modern day to keep a viewer interested. All-in-all, I think I understood and executed this task to a good standard.
