cases by one or two microphones in each channel. In many instances where volume changes alone will suffice, one recording channel may be used, with subsequent treatment after the picture has been edited.
Progress along these lines will demand better understanding of photography by sound engineers, and better understanding of sound by camera men. Artistic results without the present distractions will require the following:
1. More accurate and detailed scripts, for technical planning.
2. Complete understanding of plans between director, camera man, sound engineer, and set designer.
3. Elimination, in so far as is possible, of "ad libbing" by the director.
If the foregoing conditions are met, the work expended in intelligent planning will remove much of the present load of responsibility from the shoulders of the cutter, and should react to lower the cost of production by the minimizing of delays on the set. Sound has already forced forethought on the makers of motion pictures to the end that the savings have practically cancelled the cost of recording. This tendency will continue, and should serve to materially reduce cost of production as compared to the old silent picture methods of prodigal extravagance. The talking picture of the future will be engineered by a team of highly intelligent and cooperative technicians, cinematographer, and sound engineer, who must have broad vision, and who must drop, in so far as possible, the prejudices of the past. Rapid strides are being made in this direction, which augurs well for the future of the film industry.
