August 28: Release of the film The Execution of Mary Stuart, directed by
Alfred Clark. It is the first known film to use
special effects, specifically the
stop trick.
Stop motion is closely related to the stop trick, in which the camera is temporarily stopped during the recording of a scene to create a change before filming is continued (or for which the cause of the change is edited out of the film). In the resulting film, the change will be sudden and a logical cause of the change will be mysteriously absent or replaced with a fake cause that is suggested in the scene. The technique of stop motion can be interpreted as repeatedly applying the stop trick. [1][2][3]
