Signed by the final Examining Committee: ________________________________________ Chair Dr. Luca Caminati ________________________________________ Examiner Dr. Colin Burnett ________________________________________ Examiner Prof. John Locke ________________________________________ Supervisor Dr. Peter Rist Approved by_____________________________________________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director _____________2019 ______________________________________________________________ Dean of Faculty ABSTRACT Visual Style in early works of Douglas Fairbanks Miaad Minooie Douglas Fairbanks, the actor, the star, and the artist, has been the subject of many scholarly articles and books. However, little has been written about Fairbanks as an auteur. While some scholars have referred to him as an auteur, the designation is generally reserved for directors rather than actors and producers. The present thesis, through a systematic analysis of the visual style in Fairbanks’ films from 1915 to 1918, demonstrates how some unique characteristics of his films—such as the Average Shot Length and use of Camera Movements, Intertitles, etc.—follow a systematic trend over time and with various directors at the helm, while at the same time deviating from its contemporary industry trends.
