DW GRIFFITH | 2/6/18

What effect did the film have on the US society at the time?  How did the white audience react?  How did the african american audience react?  How did Griffith respond to the publics reaction to his film?  Write about three of the innovations that Griffith pioneered with the film.

Three innovations include: title cards, written music, and costuming for authenticity and accuracy.
