changed the image or narration to remind us how different the animals are, how unlike humans. He confused his audience in the way he portrayed the animals he filmed, mixing up on notions of the categories of humans and animals. The films make us a little unfortable at times because we are uncertain about what we are seeing. It gives him films an uncanny feature: the familiar made unfamiliar, the normal made suspicious. He liked twists, he liked the unusual. In fact, one of his favorite sea animals was the seahorse because with seahorses, it‘s the male that carries the eggs, and he thought that was great. His first and most celebrated underwater film is about the seahorse. Susan, you have a question? Student 1 But underwater filmmaking wasn‘t that unusual, was it? I mean, weren‘t there other people making movies underwater? Professor Well, actually, it was pretty rare at that time. I mean, we are talking about the early 1920s Student 1 But what about Jacques Cousteau? Was he like an innovator, you know, with underwater photography too? Professor Ah, Jacques Cousteau. Well, Painlev233。 and Cousteau did both film underwater, and they were both innovators, so you are right in that sense. But that‘s pretty much where the similarities end. First of all, Painlev233。 was about 20 years ahead of Cousteau. And Cousteau‘s adventures were hightech, with lots of fancy equipment, whereas Painlev233。 kind of patched the equipment together as he needed it. Cousteau usually filmed large animals, usually in the open sea, whereas Painlev233。 generally filmed smaller animals, and he liked to film in shallow water. Uh, what else, oh well, the main difference was that Cousteau simply investigated and presented the facts – he didn‘t mix in fiction. He was a strict documentarist. He set the standard really for the nature documentary. Painlev233。 , on the other hand, as we said before, mixed in elements of fiction. And his films are much more artistic, incorporating music as an important element. John, you have a question? Student 2 Well, maybe I shouldn‘t be asking this, but if Painlev233。 ‘s films are so special, so good, why haven‘t we ever heard of them? I mean, everyone‘s heard of Jacques Cousteau. Professor Well, that‘s a fair question. Uh, the short answer is that Painlev233。 ‘s style just never caught on with the public. I mean, it probably goes back at least in part to where we mentioned earlier, that people didn‘t know what to make of his films – they were confused by them, whereas Cousteau‘s documentaries were very straightforward, met people‘s expectations more than Painlev233。 ‘s films did. But you are true: film history is about what we know about them. And Painlev233。 is still highly respected in many circles. Section 2 Conversation Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor. Student Hi, Professor Archure, you know how in class last week you said you were looking for students who are interested in volunteering for your archeology project? Professor Of course, are you volunteering? Student Yes, I am. It sounds really interesting, but er… do I need to have any experience for these kinds of projects? Professor No, not really. I assume that most students taking the introductory level of class would have little or no experience with the archeological research, but that‘s ok. Student Oh, good, that‘s a relief. Actually, that‘s why I‘m volunteering for the project — to get experience. What kind of work is it? Professor Well, as you know, we39。 re studying the history of the campus this semester. This used to be an agricultural area and we already know that where the main lecture hall now stands, there once were farm house and barn that were erected in the late 1700s. We are excavating near the lecture hall to see what types of artifacts we find, you know, things people used in the past that got buried when the campus was constructed. We‘ve already began to find some very interesting items like old bottles, buttons, pieces of clay pottery. Student Buttons and clay pottery? Did the old owners leave in such a hurry that they left their clothes and dishes behind? Professor Hmmm… that‘s just one of the questions we hope to answer with this project. Student Wow, and it‘s all right here on campus. Professor That‘s right, no traveling involved. I wouldn39。 t expect volunteers to travel to a site, especially in the middle of the semester. We expect to find many more things, but we do need more people to help. Student So… how many student volunteers are yo u looking for? Professor I‘m hoping to get five or six. I‘ve asked for volunteers in all of the classes I teach, but no one has responded。
