D.W.
Griffith
Following
on from Porter, D.W. Griffith developed continuity into a higher level in film.
His first film, Birth of a Nation was created in 1915. In this film, he
developed more story telling techniques. These include:
• The 180° rule-
This orientates the audience so they know what they are looking at.
•Close ups-
this allowed the audience to
see peoples facial expressions.
This also enabled the audience to understand the characters feelings in their
given situation
•Flashback- Were already in books, he just
figured out how to represent it.
