The history of movies

In preparation for the Feel The Force Festival in Dunmanway the children in the Senior Room have been exploring the history of film making. The children learned about the early black and white silent movies, camera tricks, early special effects, the work of stunt people, the first “talkies”, the development of special effects, the introduction of technicolour and the development of C.G.I. Of course you can’t watch movies without popcorn – it’s a rule.
