1. Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang. This film used Chiaroscuro lighting, which is where a character or object is lighted, and everything else around it is dark. Metropolis also used high angle shots, to make characters look weak, and low angle shots, to make characters appear powerful.
2. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, directed by Robert Wiene. This movie used chiaroscuro lighting as well. Crazy set designs defined this film, and the sets tended to reflect the characters moods.
3. A Trip to the Moon, directed by the Lumiere Brothers. This film used lighting, and set designs.
4. The General, directed by Buster Keaton. This film used slapstick comedy, and tracking shots.
5. Modern Times, directed by Charlie Chaplin. This film used slapstick comedy. Charlie Chaplin, who was also the main character in the film did all of his own stunts.
