Film Studies Daily Log

Monday, September 22

We continued to examine visual motifs and patterns in Shadow of a Doubt.
Specifically, we compared the first appearances of the two Charlies (on their respective beds), then looked at a handout showing other visual parallels between the opening scenes in Philadelphia and in Santa Rosa. We then examined the use of stairs, and the associated use of high and low camera angles in the film.

HW due Tuesday:
List ten major individuals -- other than cast members -- who created Shadow of a Doubt, and indicate what their job titles are and what those jobs include.
