- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: awe and pride in human engineering; themes: human triumph over nature, tourism and infrastructure, reclamation projects; style notes: wide shots emphasize scale of dam and canyon; bright daylight lighting; static camera framing
The beat shows a hydroelectric dam in a canyon, with tourists visiting and a yellow boat on a trailer. The narration describes the canyon's transformation from a desolate, sun-scorched place to a site of human engineering and tourism.
“This was a lonely canyon, unseen and untouched by man.” 0:43 · “Scolded by an angry river slashing its way to the Mother Sea,” 0:50 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.
