Journal Entry – Week 2

Prompt 3 – Imagining myself as an audience member at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797, my reaction would have been a mix of confusion and horror, because during this time period people were not used to seeing this kind of content, especially in an art form. I feel like another form of entertainment that can cause these same reaction/emotions today is the horror genre in movies or even anything, because the viewer won’t fully know what they’re getting into until they experience the whole thing.
