We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Chapter II THE MAKING OF A PICTURE
It is impossible to give an outsider an absolutely accurate descrip' tion of the making of a picture. Why? Because no two pictures are made in exactly the same manner. Procedure varies because of many factors, e. g., whether the picture is to be silent, dialog or musically synchronized; individual technique, temperament, and even habits of the particular director; type of story to be made; policy of the studio in which it is being made; theory of the producer of the particular unit handling the picture; type and number of locations to be used; simplicity or pretentiousness of sets to be built; time allowed (schedule) for the making of the picture — this varies from one week to a year or more; production cost allowed for the picture, etc.
Also, because of its very nature, the technique of picture-making is changing constantly. A written outline can give only the broad fundamentals and general procedure.
No doubt, non-professionals suppose that a certain unbreakable system is followed in the making of a picture. They think that the procedure is something like this:
Reader approves story;
Chief reader gives further approval;
Scenario editor approves story and takes it to executives;
Various executives hold conference;
Story is given final approval;
Story is purchased;
Research department collects data;
Adapter writes adaptation;
Continuity writer writes continuity;
Continuity is approved;
Art director designs sets;
Carpenters, etc., start building sets;
