51.Practicallyspeaking,theartisticmaturingofthecinemawasthesingle-handedachievementofDavidW,Griffith(1875-1948).BeforeGriffith,photographyindramaticfilmsconsistedoflittlemorethanplacingtheactorsbeforeastationarycameraandshowingtheminfulllengthastheywouldhaveappearedonstage.Fromthebeginningofhiscareerasadirector,however,Griffith,becauseofhisloveofVictorianpainting,employedcomposition.Heconceivedofthecameraimageashavingafore-ground(近景)andarearground(远景),aswellasthemiddledistancepreferredbymostdirectors.By1910hewasusingclose-upstorevealsignificantdetailsofthesceneoroftheactingandextremelongshotstoachieveasenseofspectacleanddistance.Hisappreciationofthecamera'spossibilitiesproducednoveldramaticeffects.Bysplittinganeventintofragmentsandrecordingeachfromthemostsuitablecameraposition,hecouldsignificantlyvarytheemphasisfromcamerashottocamerashot.

Griffithalsoachieveddramaticeffectsbymeansofcreativeediting.Byplacingimagesclosetogetherandvaryingthespeedandrhythmoftheirpresentation,hecouldcontrolthedramaticintensityoftheeventsasthestoryprogressed.Despitethereluctanceofhisproducers,whofearedthatthepublicwouldnotbeabletofollowaplotthatwasmadeupofsucharrangedimages,Griffithpersisted,andexperimentedaswellwithotherelementsofcinematic(电影的，影片的)arrangementthathavebecomestandardeversince.Theseincludedtheflashback,permittingbroadpsychologicalandemotionalexplorationaswellasnarrativethatwerenotintimeorder,andthecrosscutbetweentwoparallelactionstoheightensuspenseandexcitement.Inthusexploitingfullythepossibilitiesofediting,GriffithborroweddevicesoftheVictoriannovelinfilm-makingandgavefilmmasteryoftimeaswellasspace.

Besidesdevelopingthecinema'slanguage,Griffithimmenselybroadeneditsrangeandtreatmentofsubjects.Hisearlyoutputincludednotonlythestandardcomedies,melodramas,westerns,andthrillers,butalsoadaptationsfromBrowningandTennyson,andtreatmentsofsocialissues.Ashissuccessesmounted,hisambitionsgrew,andwiththemthewholeofAmericacinema.WhenheremadeEnochArdenin1911,heinsistedthatasubjectofsuchimportancecouldnotbetreatedintheconventionallengthofonereel.Griffith'sintroductionoftheAmerican-mademultireelpicturebeganani
