Film Studies Daily Log

Thursday, February 10

We watched the last seven minutes of Shadow of a Doubt.

Students then took an "open packet" quiz over "Classical Hollywood Cinema: Style."

Finally, we discussed briefly what the packet has to say about that slipperiest of film terms, mise en scene, and began to review Shadow of a Doubt by looking briefly at the opening credits over elegant ballroom dancers whirling to the Merry Widow Waltz.
