Problem
A visitor to the Edison studios said in 1908: "the camera, unlike the eye, can not be easily deceived. 'Staginess' is avoided and realism is in every case given place over 'effect.' Scenes indoors can be taken at any time, now that the new and wonderful artificial daylight has been introduced at the studio." (cited in Lucy Fischer, 2015: p. 27)
How does the writer seem to be defining "realism" here, and what do you think they mean by the statement that "the camera, unlike the eye, can not be easily deceived"?
