Alice Guy-Blanche



What are Alice's contributions to cinema history? Why are her accomplishments so incredible during this time period? What makes her such a significant figure?

At the time, women were expected to be working at home rather than independently creating their own content like Blanche.

SHOOTING OUTDOORS

What are 3 considerations you must keep in mind when shooting outdoors? How would you use a reflector? Why? 3 considerations to keep in mind while shooting outdoors is that the subject has to adjust to the light so they aren't constantly squinting.
