The problem back then is unlike digital video of today, film was a one time use. So while today you could continuously record and overwrite the past recording, they couldnt waste film like that. They had to sit and hope that they pressed record as soon as the collapse started. It would be super hard to get it right at the moment of collapse.
@@emiliadimitrova9496 The English are good that way, very magnanimous and gracious - that's why they said to Scotland; "Yes, please, go forth and build a Scotland you can be proud of".. and the English 'returned' Scotland to Scotland and they all lived happily ever after. The End.
I suspect it wasn't like it would be today. Film was expensive, and it would have cost a fortune to leave film cameras running constantly from the moment they knew it was going to collapse. Now, of course, you could just edit the thing off your live web cam, easy-peazy.
The type of speech, word choice, & colourful commentary in this era, from these old newsreels, reveals some general level of intelligence & sophistication that seems higher than today. Amazing footage!
Newsreels, boy that brings back memories! Watched them before the cartoon and the main attraction (along with the coming attractions). Don't go to movies anymore, expensive, rude people, boring movies and NOT CARTOONS!
Times change, and not everything improves. That's for sure. I loved those long ago Saturday matinees for kids when they'd run the newreel and then 16 Warner Brothers cartoons in a row! Meep-meep!
The cameraman sat in wait and that was his best capture of the collapse. Oh dear if only the spectators on the top looking down had had mobile phones lol.
I am precisely and exacty , the 700th person to make a comment on this site . Television character " Adrian Monk " would be approving and even proud of such an accomplishment . Other than that , I really have nothing to say !
