Film Studies Daily Log

Wednesday, February 11

We listened to the first scene of Shadow of a Doubt without the image, then watched it without the soundtrack. We considered the different ways in which both components create the same effects and reinforce each other. We compared classic period Hollywood musical scores with Beethoven, and looked briefly at the career of Dmitri Tiomkin.

We then began our viewing of the film as a whole, starting once again from the beginning, and stopping fifteen minutes in.
