Film Studies Daily Log

Tuesday, September 23

Students handed in their lists of ten people who worked on Shadow of a Doubt with their job titles and descriptions of what those jobs entail. We then made a composite list on the board of the ten we thought most significant, grouped by area of reponsibility.

Afterwards we watched the early one-reel blockbuster The Great Train Robbery (1903) and analyzed it briefly in terms of the number of cuts, camera techniques, special effects and the like.
