Film Studies Daily Log

Thursday, February 4

We watched The Great Train Robbery (1903), and Rescued by Rover (1905), paying attention to the increasing sophistication of editing for continuity and cross-cutting, or parallel editing. Next we watched the beginning of D.W. Griffith's The Girl and Her Trust (1912) and students wrote short accounts of action and characterization in the scene.

HW due Monday:
Quiz over "Classical Hollywood Cinema: Style."
