Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: military exercise, combat readiness; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, natural outdoor lighting, static camera

A group of soldiers operates an artillery piece in a field, with smoke rising from the muzzle after firing. The setting is outdoors, with trees in the background and no visible structures.

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.
