Arrival of the Train vs Damsel in Distress

In arrival of the train, the camera does not make any movements whatsoever and maintains a long shot for the duration of the film which creates a nice index vector with the lines giving the shot depth, while in damsel in distress the camera doesn't make moves it just changes the location in which the shot is taken giving a message of distress that emanates from the actor. In the arrival of the train, there is no edit necessary as the people just get on and off the train, while in the damsel in distress, jump cuts are used to move from place to place in a relatively quick manner with the camera in the same shot for the duration of the short film. In the arrival of the train, the story is extremely straightforward and the display of the scene shows that with one continuous shot making up the movie, while in the damsel in distress the story is told through the many jump cuts and juxtapositions of the actors and how they move and interact with one another.
