Drill by Providence Police (1903)
The title tells you exactly what you're going to be watching for two minutes of your life. A lot of films from this era just had cameramen going out and capturing whatever they could. It's clear that people were willing to pay for just about any type of movie and we end up with stuff like this, which isn't anywhere near being entertaining. The biggest problem is the fact that the drill itself is pretty boring and there's just nothing to it that makes it stand out or draws you attention. The camera pretty much stays still no matter what's going on by the police, which is another problem as there are times where they march right off the screen. Technology at the time could be partially blamed but a better set-up would have helped.
