These films show film makers attempts at creating a 'narrative'. This one in particular shows how important editing and using different shot types is.
Almost an example of how not to do it! Needs faster editing and a wider variety of shot types and camera angles.
The film used a number of innovative techniques including cross cutting, double exposure composite editing, camera movement and on location shooting. Cross-cuts were a new, sophisticated editing technique. Some prints were also hand colored in certain scenes.The film uses simple editing techniques (each scene is a single shot) and the story is mostly linear (with only a few "meanwhile" moments), but it represents a significant step in movie making, being one of the first "narrative" movies of significant length.
