In order to break away from the New Jersey film industry under Edison's monopoly, DWGriffith and many filmmakers came to Hollywood, California.

Films shot in California take advantage of the splendid nature of the region.

DWGriffith will be skilled use of all contemporary new technologies. Mirror movement, cross montage, etc.

Griffith experimented with close-up, insert shot and flashback in this popular film. The biggest feature is that one Reelers (10-16min) jumped out of the monopoly group, and filmed an epic feature film (long story), which was three hours long.

In addition, this film is not only an attractive film, but also focuses on portraying the hearts of the characters. These are built on the basis of close-up, so that the audience can feel more immersive and experience the same feeling of the characters.

Of course, the latter part of the film is shot from the perspective of the KKK, and the issue of political correctness is omitted here.
