!!Tropes:
* BookEnds: Some versions of the film have the footage rewound, so that the theater reassembles itself. (The [[Film/LumiereFilms Lumiere Brothers]] had previously done something similar, but that was only with a single wall.)
* NoPlotNoProblem: As with many films taken at the dawn of filmmaking, there's no attempt at a story.
* TimeLapse: TropeMaker, UrExample. Exposures were taken at a rate of one every four minutes.
