Early Film Scavenger Hunt

I chose The Great Train Robbery because I like the storytelling, composition, and editing in the film. It is very interesting because it shoots on unusual locations, has a unique story for the time, and puts in overlays to emulate effects such as smoke. When they would blow up a box or fire a gun, smoke was often overlaid on the film, a technique that was not used at all at the time. Two common things I saw while searching for these films are that they usually had no sound at all unless someone put sound in themselves, and many featured famous actor Charlie Chaplin.
