BUSTER. KEATON

I was going to write about the story telling genius of Buster Keaton.  And in particular how he used fewer words ( caption titles) than other film makers at the time.

In the 1920's silent comedy films had an average of 240 titles. Buster took every opportunity to craft the images to work harder. His films had an average of 50 titles.

My research led me to this video essay. After watching this I stopped researching. Hope it helps.
