Abstract
From the earliest silent films, title cards or intertitles interrupted the photographic action to let the audience know of sound effects (like “Boom!” when dynamite exploded), dialogue (as characters silently mouthed lines like “My hero!” when rescued from a railroad track), or in some cases, an early form of IM (like when the villain glares into the camera and thinks “I’ll get my revenge.”). These silent films offered an entrance into the first primitive forms of IM on film.
