Film Studies Daily Log

Monday, February 22

We began to examine Shadow of a Doubt, starting with "The Merry Widow Waltz," its significance within the film, and the transformations Dmitri Tiomkin puts it through to accompany the film.

Students identified short scenes or images which stuck with them from the film, and we looked at one of those, the library scene, with an eye (ear) for both the music and the use of the camera and of lighting.

HW due Tuesday:
Academy Awards assignment. See Friday, February 12, and the Documents and Links pages.
