Evidence and details

Starts here: pause in speech. Sequence 82 · shots 366–369. Observations cite a frame (frame:n) or a time (t:m:ss); frames are the sampled ones above.

Place
water (other, exterior) evidence: frame:1
Seen happening
  • An object strikes the water surface, creating a splash and ripples. [frame:1]
  • The splash expands and the water churns violently. [frame:2]
  • Ripples continue to spread outward from the impact point. [frame:3]
  • The water surface remains agitated with residual ripples. [frame:4]
Seen
pole [frame:1]
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: impact, disturbance; style notes: Close-up, static shot focused on the water's surface; high-contrast black-and-white with sharp detail on the splash and ripples.

The water surface is disturbed by an object striking it, creating expanding ripples and splashes across four frames. No people, objects beyond the water and a pole, or on-screen text are visible.

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.
