Answer

Georges Méliès did utilize dissolves in his films. In fact, he is credited with creating the dissolve effect in cinema. This was done by placing two strips of film next to each other on a projector, with the second strip gradually becoming visible as the first strip faded out. This effect allowed Méliès to create transitions between scenes and create more visually interesting films.
