David Wark Griffith’s films became part of history in the making—unleashing the
power of movies as a catalyst for social change. More than anyone of the silent
era, he saw film’s potential as an expressive medium, and exploited that
potential. Griffith's contributions to Hollywood filmmaking combined both film
content and camera style which would change the way future directors created
their own films. From developing and expanding new techniques including
crosscutting, close-ups, and camera movement, to his advancement of film
content using parallel story lines, and enhanced complex narratives, D.W.
Griffith lifted the bar of film creation to heights never seen before on the screen.
