Most movie films were made outdoors, whether within the confines of studio grounds or on railway station platforms. This was due to the "slowness" of the photographic emulsion used. As a movie camera works at a relatively fast rate the exposure time is in the order of 1/25 second. Not much time for those old emulsions. Still cameras can have unlimited exposure times if the subject doesn't move. The best source for a lot of light is the sun, hence outdoor shots. It's noticeable that until the 1920s there were very few genuine indoor shots. One of the reasons that Hollywood became pre-eminent was the quality of sunlight and very little rain. Room shots were of a set with floor and three sides, no roof. |
