So you watched the Big Broadcast of 1938 with Bob Hope today? I hope so. That was intended. I had asked my sub today to ask you to think about two things when watching the film. First, I wanted you to study the lighting on different scenes. Films are "moving picture" after all and I wanted you to write down here your observations about the lighting in the film. Even if you only go into great detail about a single scene. Lighting is used to set the mood and tone. Did you know that in many of the promotional photos for this film, Bob Hope was photographed using Renaissance lighting?

Then, I wanted you to identify any stereotypical characters in the film. Were there characters that you expected to see or acted as you expected them to? Talk about that too - Thanks and have a very nice holiday break!
