Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and labor-intensive; themes: manual labor, dangerous work, engineering; style notes: wide and medium shots showing scale of cliff and danger; high-contrast lighting emphasizes texture of rock and ropes

Workers suspended on ropes drill into a rock face and clear debris after explosions. The transcript describes them as 'daredevils' who swarm over cliffs after each blast.

“Suspended on ropes, they drilled holes in the rock and loaded them with dynamite.” 6:09 · “After each explosion, these daredevils swarmed over the cliffs.” 6:18 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. 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.
