Website Analysis

"Here is the main title from D.W. Griffith’s “Intolerance” (1916), which many reviewers and historians consider the greatest film of the silent era. Note that variations of the director’s name are featured in five ways:"

I found this part of the article interesting as it has the directors name shown in 5 different ways, so I like how the director has made his name more important than the actual film itself.

"Here is a title still from the oldest surviving feature-length animated film “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” (Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed) by German animator Lotte Reiniger:"

I like this part of the article as it is interesting to know that this film is the oldest surviving animated film.

"While Cooper was working on the sequence for “Darkness Falls” (2003), some glass he was using suddenly split, and the crack cut across the eyes of a girl in an old picture. The incident added suspense to the effect:"

I liked this part of the article as it is interesting to know that the idea of building suspense that way came by accident and if it didn't happen then the whole of the films outcome with its box office could have changed dramatically.
