Bringing the Camera to the Characters, 5 February 2004
Author: Single-Black-Male from London, England

By moving the camera closer to an object, the 34 year old D.W. Griffith establishes a plot device in the mind of the audience in this film. In spite of the fact that he was working on more than one film at a time, he still managed to develop a cinematic vocabulary.
