Star Wars and D.W. Griffith


Watch the opening sequence of Star Wars. What film techniques does George Lucas use? How does this compare with D.W. Griffith?
-Close up of the ship
-Long shots
-Going back and forth from one character to the next

In both of these films, it shows us close ups, then the persons face, such as in Birth of a nation, it shows the gun in a close up, then it's a shot of the mans face with the gun.
