Visions of Light: Documentary

After 10 minutes of note taking (see below), we will be screening the documentary: Visions of Light. This film deals with the art of cinematography. A cinematographer is also called the Director of Photography. It was produced and directed by Stuart Samuels (edited by Arnold Glassman) and the director of photography was Nancy Schreiber.

As you watch the film, please take relevant notes, paying specific attention to how light, camera, and raw artistic talent can improve film. There is quite a bit of film history included here. Please take note of major film movements (define), for example.
