Grandma's Reading Glass
(1900)
Directed by George
Albert Smith (although there are some theories on other attributions)
this is a short, silent film. A young boy uses his grandma's
magnifying glass to look at various things.
There is not much of a
plot to this short film, it is essentially just over a minute of a
boy using the magnifying glass on a random selection of things.
Historically this film may be important for being the first use of
cutting to close-up point of view shots but that is really all it is.
This is little more than an early film making experiment in
technique.
2/5
