Who is the First Known Actor to be Filmed
Doing a Death Scene?
The first death scene where we can positively identify the actor was shot by Edison's production company three months later on August 28, 1895.
The film was called "The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots", and it is described as a "realistic reproduction of this famous historical scene"
Mary was played by Robert Thomae, and the film may have been the first to use stop-motion substitution to show the decapitation of Mary.
Just before the beheading took place the camera stopped and the actor (Robert
Thomae) was replaced by a dummy.
Then the filming resumed. When the two takes were spliced together it appeared to be one continuous shot.

2.) How Media Use Can Affect Kids
Seeing Violence
The average American child will see 200,000 violent acts on TV by age 18. Many of these are done by the "good guys," whom kids are taught to admire. In fact, often the hero wins by fighting with or killing the “bad guys." This can confuse kids as they try to understand the difference between right and wrong.
Kids who view violence onscreen are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them.
Young kids are easily frightened by violent images. Because they don’t yet understand what is real and what is make believe, simply telling them that violence isn’t real won't help. Behavior problems, nightmares, and trouble sleeping may happen after kids watch violence on screen.
