The Great Train Robbery (film)
The Great Train Robbery is a
1903 western film by
Edwin S. Porter. The film is only twelve minutes long, but is a milestone in film making, expanding on Porter's previous work
Life of an American Fireman. The film used a number of innovative
techniques including
cross cutting, double exposure composite editing, camera movement and
on location shooting. Cross-cuts were a new, sophisticated editing technique. Some prints were also hand colored in certain scenes. None of the techniques were original to The Great Train Robbery, and it is now considered that it was heavily influenced by Frank Mottershaw's earlier British film A Daring Daylight Burglary.
[1] The film uses simple editing techniques (each scene is a single shot) and the story is mostly linear (with only a few "meanwhile" moments), but it represents a significant step in movie making, being one of the first "narrative" movies of significant length. It was quite successful in theaters and was imitated many times.
