Firstly, one of the greatest movies in the silent era was that by Keaton, Sherlock Jr. This film encompasses all the core principles of telling a story through silence and overcoming the cinematic boundaries of its day. The key to achieving this is through the direct expressiveness of the body language of the actors’ alongside the plot and how Keaton specifically selected the scenes. The film begins with a love-story between a wealthy girl (Kathryn McGuire) and a projectionist at a local movie theatre. His dream to become a detective is what drives the film. A memorable scene in the movie is that in the candy shop when Keaton goes to buy the chocolates for the girl. This was performed entirely in pantomime, allowing the audience to get in touch with the film, and comprehend his desperation to woo the girl. He shadows Crane, who is larger in size than he is, mimicking his body language and gestures. This was done using a tracking shot. Keaton’s framing techniques were clear enough to tell the story, particularly when

The nineteenth century was a period of rapid westward expansion for the United States due to the publicly held belief that Manifest Destiny would bring greater independence and upward mobility for all its citizens. However, with the legions of pioneers venturing into the American frontier came the upheaval between the frontiersmen and the Indians. Artists such as Alfred Jacob Miller (1810-1874) sought to capture the beauty of the untamed wilderness and life in the American frontier. Moreover, Miller also sought to demonstrate that positive interactions between the Indians and European Americans were possible despite tensions on both sides. Trapper’s Bride, painted in the early 1840s by Alfred Jacob Miller is a small oil on canvas painting that measures 19 x 16 inches; the painting is currently located in the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When this painting was first displayed, the viewer of the nineteenth century must have felt humbled and compassionate towards the suffering that the Indians endured at the hands of the frontiersmen. Nonetheless, there probably was also a sense of hope for both peoples to live together in harmony and to lay aside the violence after seeing Miller’s painting. In this paper I will argue that Miller sought to illustrate that the reconciliation between the Indians and Americans was possible as suggested by the colors and interactions between figures.
