I have a question, /tv/, for anyone who knows anything about the history of film.
Pic related is retroactively seen in both negative and positive light. As far as the negative aspects of the film go, the film is notorious for its highly negative depiction of black people. The film also essentially spawned the second wave of the Ku Klux Klan. However, the film is also recognized as pioneering several modern film-making techniques.
My question is: I don't know much about the history of film, what exactly were those techniques?

Flashbacks and multiple scenes occurring at once. The camera was alot less static. It is one of the first films not shot like a stage play.
First to use tracking shots
