Unit 2

We’ve covered Creativity, Collaboration and Authorship…….all practice based theories. For our next project I’m looking at Authorship, musicology – and examining the collaborative role of the composer and music in film. My artefact is a short film where music will narrate the story.

Paris

I went to the place recently where the first films were shown in Paris

The first commercial presentation of the Lumiere Phographie was on 28 December 1895 at the Salon Indien, Grand Café, 14 Boulevard des Capuchins, Paris. The Salon Indien was a small hall located in the basement of the Grand Café, and seated around 100. An invited audience attended the afternoon performance. The ten films believed to have been shown that day were La Sortie de l’Usine Lumiere a Lyon, La Voltige, La Peche aux Poissons Rouges, Le Debarquement du Congres de Photographique a Lyon, Les Forgerons, Le Jardinier, Le Repas, Le Saut a la Couverture, La Place des Cordeliers a Lyon and La Mer. Contrary to what many popular histories assert, this was not the first commercial presentation of projected film, nor did the show feature the celebrated film showing an arrival of a train.

There is no museum, just a few photos in a glass case downstairs in the basement. It’s now a conference centre in the Hotel Scribe. But I managed to get down there and take a look around.
