Place
field (field, exterior) evidence: frame:1
Time of day
night evidence: frame:1
Seen happening
  • A dark outdoor scene is shown. [frame:1]
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and obscure; themes: uncertainty, sound over sight; style notes: low-key lighting, extreme darkness, tight framing on ground-level textures

The beat shows a dark, outdoor scene at night with a thud sound effect; no people are visible or named, and no objects are clearly identifiable. The frames depict indistinct shapes in low light, suggesting a natural setting like a field or forest floor.

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
