David Weinblatt- Edison's Electric Light


Edison’s Electric Light briefly portrayed the powerful impact that Thomas Edison had on society with the invention of his lightbulb. At the beginning of the video, there is audio of a narrator alongside a train with train noises heard in the background. Some light music is also played throughout. The video also focuses on the narrator speaking at several points. When he discusses walking out into the light, multiple pictures of a well-lit house are shown. Many more angles of the house and light posts around it are displayed as well. A writer began to speak and the camera immediately switched to her face. The camera then moved to an illustration of a light bulb in which the original narrator ends the video discussing how the light bulb has essentially enabled us to enter a whole new world.
