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?

Blanche, being the first female filmmaker, contributed to cinema history by experimenting with different kinds of special effects like double exposure, masking techniques, and running film backwards. She also experimented with hand coloring black and white film. Her accomplishments are more unique compared to other filmmakers at the time because she was the first female filmmaker. At the time, women were expected to be working at home rather than independently creating their own content like Blanche.

The Boom Microphone

Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom? Three different key functions I learned from this video: boom mics are good at picking up quality audio from different angles.
