Quality way and above the norm
It's quite unbelievable that this documentary was made at that time, as the quality of it all for such a minor event, is way above similar films around the world. We have multiple camera angles, panning, clipping, and shots of the main event - some shots show the crowds, some show the royals, but all in all - so well documented that it could have been made today. I'd never imagined such quality from a 1908 documentary because this is one of the first documentaries that document a whole event from beginning to end and make it a concise whole. There are a few that can compete from before, but most seem to be very static.
