Abel Gance's 1927 film, Napoleon, was an incredibly innovated film during the time period. Most of the camera angles during the early 1900s were very stoic. The camera was placed in once spot for the scene and it was up to the actors to bring the material to life. However, Gance challenged this method of filmmaking. He introduced hand held camera shots along with close ups and fast cutting. Gance also took advantage of using multiple camera set ups to create the best angle for the film.Every film we see today has been influenced by Gance. How would directors be able to intensify fact-paced car scenes or dramatize crashing buildings without these methods?
In conclusion, Gance used polyvision to create even more advancements in technology. Polyvision is used as a widescreen format. It allows scenes to become even more theatrical. Because the film would not be reduced to a small screen, the effects were not compromised. Polyvision allowed the film to be displayed in its best format.
