- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: industrial and monumental; themes: engineering achievement, labor, infrastructure; style notes: wide-angle shots emphasize scale; high-angle framing shows construction progress; monochrome film with high contrast
Workers are shown at a large-scale dam construction site, pouring concrete into forms as the structure rises. The transcript describes the dam reaching 660 feet thick at its base and being built in five-foot layers.
“as cableways dumped load after load of concrete into the forms. The dam soon reached its full 660 foot thickness at its base.” 9:29 · “poured in five foot layers of concrete.” 9:39 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.
