It was a big episode this time, and it took me a long time to write. But here it is! As I said at the end of the episode, a huge thanks to Stephen Herbert and Luke McKernan, whose work has proved to be the single most referenced resource I have used in making the show so far. You can their website here: https://www.victorian-cinema.net
The definition I used for "tracking Shot" came from the third edition of Film: A Critical Introduction by Maria Pramaggiore and Tom Wallis, which has a very helpful glossary. Another thanks to my dear friend Jerry, who in ten minutes of teaching me how to use the free and open source program Audacity made this the best-sounding episode so far.
