	Film Basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Films don’t usually call attention to how they are made, or ask viewers to reflect consciously on how we learn to "read" and make sense of film narrative.
		Since film story telling grew out of literary and oral story telling, and films often base their stories on novels and short stories, it is useful to compare film narrative to the familiar story-telling forms of novels and short stories.
		A film performance, then, may be elusive regarding many aspects of a character’s emotions, thoughts, past history, etc. Or the film narrative may be presented with significant gaps in the story’s past or present action--that viewers are expected to fill in, infer, puzzle out, and interpret.

	Molecular Expressions Microscopy Primer: Photomicrography - Film Basics
		Color films are subdivided into two types: color films that yield positive transparencies (colors like those of the image being observed) and color negatives (colors complementary to those in the microscope image, e.g., green for magenta and blue for yellow), which require printing on photographic paper to display true colors.
		Film exits the sleeve through a light-tight slot that is lined with fl velvet and is drawn through the camera with a set of driver sprockets that match a pre-cut pair of sprocket holes on each edge of the film.
		Films whose boxes are marked professional, are those that have been brought to their correct stage of "ripening" and then kept under refrigeration (by dealers and micrographers) until use.

	Film vs Digital
		Film affectionados assume that film emulsions mean that film images are analogue while digital images consist of only discrete values.
		With film it is common to tweak the contrast and tonal balance during the print processing.
		Negative film is less tolerant to under-exposure in the shadows while slide film and electronic sensors are less tolerant to over-exposure in the highlights.

	A Different Way of Film Making
		Film noir is a brilliant film making technique that provides viewers with the non-traditional views of society that we want to see.
		Film noir attempts to take the other side, and show people with the problems they are faced with in day to day situations.
		Film noir does express the dark side of human nature and this is not only what stimulates the viewers, but concerns the critics.

	DVD Times - Edge Of Darkness
		Edge Of Darkness was first broadcast on BBC2 in six 50-minute episodes but due to the instant critical praise it received, it was repeated almost immediately on BBC1 in three 1hr40m episodes and repeated once again shortly after.
		It should be apparent that Edge Of Darkness was not a series with humble ambitions and its placing at fifteenth in the British Film Institute's Top 100 Television is testament that it more than matched the challenge Troy Kennedy Martin placed on himself when he began work on it.
		Indeed, Edge Of Darkness is one series where the BBC ought to be developing a DVD reissue to archive not only the series but the scripts, the music by Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton, information on the production and the legacy and influence of the series.

	Film History of the 1940s
		However, Hollywood film production rebounded and reached its profitable peak of efficiency during the years 1943 to 1946 - a full decade and more after the rise of sound film production, now that the technical challenges of the early 30s sound era were far behind.
		Advances in film technology (sound recording, lighting, special effects, cinematography and use of color) meant that films were more watchable and 'modern'.
		Films took on a more realistic rather than escapist tone, as they had done during the Depression years of the 30s.

	Peck, Bob
		Along with Anthony Sher, Bernard Hill and Richard Griffiths, Peck was one of a number of established stage actors in the early 1980s to be brought into television for roles in major new drama serials by BBC producer Michael Wearing.
		Peck's performance in Edge of Darkness embodies the paradox that is at the heart of the drama.
		Perhaps his most highly acclaimed performance after Edge of Darkness was as the mild mannered, accident-prone academic, James Westgate, who falls victim to his childhood sweetheart's psychopathic desires, in Simon Gray's Prix Italia winning television play, After Pilkington (BBC, 1987).

		Filming began on the California coast in Monterey, but thick fog put the production on hold for several weeks and sent Flynn to bed suffering from sinus problems.
		Edge of Darkness wrapped thirty days behind schedule, partly due to Flynn's legal proceedings, but also because of Milestone's slow pace.
		Edge of Darkness was released in March and was naturally overshadowed by talk of Flynn's off screen exploits.

		Film noir captures our most primal anxieties...and our most sophisticated.
		"When he awoke with his revolver in his hand, the odor of gunpowder still burning his nostrils, he didn't have to go into the bedroom to know what he would find there." Film noir is the redemptive return from Hell, the blood on the boots, the sardonic complement to post-WWII optimism.

	Film Comment
		No one has ever made films that are at once so concentrated and so expansive, so precise in their mapping of action and so careful to allow for a resonance beyond the imagination of almost everyone else who has ever worked in the medium.
		He works painstakingly so that his films appear to register and acknowledge all things equally: a bouquet of daisies thrown on an asphalt road becomes just as moving as the face of a man behind bars at long last acknowledging his love for the woman on the other side.
		There is a terrific moral urgency to this shift: it's as though he was profoundly affected by the feelings of defeat and lethargy in the young people around him, and decided to devote himself to giving those feelings a voice, and to describing their parameters.

		We experience the absolute depths of his personal horror at the loss of his child in curious circumstances and as he delves deeper, we are drawn into his pain and shock at the secret life of his child.
		Edge of darkness has so many things going for it, it's hard to know where to start - honest, egdy performances, crisp writing and dialogue, layers of intrigue, the eerie and beautiful soundtrack of Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton - (sigh) - its smart, scary and challenging.

		He also wrote screenplays for several action films, with the same sense of frustration that his critical intentions were subverted in the production process.
		Fears of nuclear power and government bureaucracy also drove Kennedy-Martin's major achievement, Edge of Darkness, a political thriller broadcast in six parts on BBC2 in late 1985 and promptly repeated in three parts on consecutive nights on BBC1.
		The break with naturalism occurs when the murdered woman simply appears beside her father and starts a conversation with him, linking his investigation to the fusion of myth and science in the ecological movement to which she had belonged.

		Looking and feeling rather like a BBC Bond movie, Edge of Darkness shines as a work of quality at every level - production values, script and acting all resonate with a rare power.
		Granted, it may not be the funniest programme the BBC's ever made, but a dark humour runs through the show, and Kennedy Martin has a fine grasp of the surreal (Jedburgh's obsession with golf is a fine example).
		Edge of Darkness was a ‘must see’ when it first aired - the kind of drama that had everyone talking.

		The exploits of the Norwegian resistance in World War II were the inspiration for several Hollywood films made during the war, all interestingly in 1943.
		The best of these was The Edge of Darkness, a Warner Brothers film starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan that featured a compelling story, fine acting throughout its cast, and well-staged action sequences—all under the firm guidance of Lewis Milestone.
		Even the first appearance of Lillian Gish in a film in ten years is less successful than one might have hoped, partly because she is not given much to work with.
