ell on the husband. This happens in the shot of the husband dreaming of the girl, and again in the shot of the spinning wheel that zooms out to the fair, among others. Once again we don’t have dialogue to enforce this but the imagery is so strong that it made me feel as if it would ruin the film.Finally the shots the edit is made up of are continuous and discontinuous. The continuity is maintained in the action of the band members and the overlapping of that shot and the city, and then the action of the girl. But the first dissolve is discontinuous, as the action is completely different from the lake to the band.I was impressed with this edit from beginning to end. It conveys so many things in such a beautiful format. It gives us the basis of the struggle between the man/country and the girl/city. Watching the edit so many times also made me appreciate the thought and effort involved in the better films of this time especially Sunrise. It really is an ingenious film but a film I would have given little notice before this class. It’s nice to do an assignment where you take something away aside from a grade....
