In this eight minute offering you actually see a dialogue taking place between cinematographer and composer. The 34 year old D.W. Griffith stands behind the film and allows the director of photography to paint a picture that is enriched by the incidental music of the composer. This is one of the better Griffith shorts because he allows his creative community to breathe rather than stamping his own personality on his work. Bearing in mind that silent films are a visual medium you need to have a good cinematographer to provide the audience with details and insights into character, as well as a classical composer to add texture to the moving image.
