Film History Before 1920 (3731 words)
Films were increasingly being shown as part of vaudeville shows, variety shows, and at fairgrounds or carnivals. The six-minute narrative film combined re-enacted scenes and documentary footage, and was dramatically edited with inter-cutting between the exterior and interior of a burning house. The film also included exterior scenes, chases on horseback, actors that moved toward (and away from) the camera, a camera pan with the escaping bandits, and a camera mounted on a moving train.
