1) What did you notice/learn about Méliès' style?
He uses many special effects, using "cinemagic." He also used matte to superimpose films together and duplicate himself or make objects appear. Also, he used stop motion for making objects disappear or appear.

2) Were there consistent elements in his films? What were they?

some consistent elements were magical and surreal like the moon, disappearing chair, eggs.  His set design was also amazing, and effects were added in the background.

3) Did you enjoy his films? Which ones? Why?
yes, all of them, as it was impressive to see what effects he made with no computer programs. 

4) What will you take away with you from watching these films?
I'm amazed at how far we've come in little over a century, but also how awesome Méliès's films were for his time.
