Uncle Tom's Cabin by Edwin S. Porter

🎞️ Subtitles were invented in 1903 for Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Edwin S. Porter. At that time they were called 'intertitles'.
Intertitles were texts printed or drawn on paper. They are filmed and then placed between film sequences. Translation was easier then because the titles were removed from the original. Also the translation was filmed then reinserted.
