This research is an examination into early film director Georges Melies and his attempt to create cinematic space in the early cinema. The study seeks to identify how Melies evolved in the mise-en-scene of his films. The study will also seek to find how Melies moved beyond the cinema of attractions of the primitive film era to an expansive dimensional cinema. An examination will also be conducted into Melies’ intention for using tricks to create montage and screen dimension. This study hopes to offer new insights into early film.
