Abel Gance

Abel Gance's 1927 film Napoleon extended above and beyond most films of this time, where practically every sequence featured some sort of new technology. Tryptic is utilized to obtain a panoramic effect, in which three screens are shown instead of just one.


Obscure camera angles were used in the making of the film as well, for an intense dramatic effect. Though it is a silent film, it is known to be shown to viewers above a live orchestra for enhancement purposes.
