I've watched a series called Game of Thrones. As there are 8 seasons for this television show I 've managed to see 7 of those and desperately waiting to watch the new season.
Blog Research:
From my research, I have managed to cover some information on George Melies work and invention.
George Melies (8th December 1861-21 January 1938)
The French-based illusionist and film director was an early
Pioneer to invent many technical and narrative developments in regard to
films. He is considered as a father of special effects, illusionist
and film director. His techniques involve multiple exposures, substitution
splices, time-lapse photography, fade-out, slow motion, dissolves, and
hand-painted color.
Between 1899 to 1912, Melies had made more than 400 films,
among these best ones combines illusion effects, science fiction, fantasy,
horror, comic burlesque, and pantomime to express the core idea of his shots in A very playful and absorbed fashioned way. He is also considered as the first
person to introduce storyboards in his film and especially specialized in
depicting extreme human body using camera shot techniques Some of his movies
include As diverse as Cleopatra, Le Christ Marchant Surles eaux, Le Voyage a
Travers, I'm impossible, Hamlet.

Le Voyage dans la lune(1902, A Trio to the Moon), directed by Georges Melies.
George Melies has inspired many film directors and artists around the world. His ideas and works are still been carried by almost every film director and editor. Among which the most commonly used techniques are dissolves, fadeout, multiple exposers, jump cut intercut and more importantly storyboarding.

In my point of view, jumpcut, intercut and multiple exposers techniques seem to be a very creative and artistic way of expressing captured camera shots in videos which I will be using them in my future projects. In-depth jump cut refers to the techniques where two sequential shots of the same subjects are captured from camera positions that vary only slightly. This subsequently helps editors to draw viewers’ attention.
Blog Research Task:
From my Top ten movie list, George Melies has highly influenced these films. These movies have used all the techniques that I have mentioned above namely dissolves, fadeout, multiple exposers, jump cut intercut and more importantly storyboarding.
Since he has given the concept of visual effects, movies like Avatar, Pirates of the Carribean, Maleficent, Game of Thrones widely uses extracting character and compositing methods. These days Rotoscoping and green screen compositing is widely used to extract individual character or object in almost every film. It has become one of the essential elements for the VFX pipeline.
