the proportion of 4:3. The modern tendency is to eliminate borders of any description.
In case the titles are set up in type, the selection of a suitable type face is a matter for careful considerations. It should preferably be bold in order to lessen the tendency of the letters to "fill in." Suitable type faces are Souvenir, Cheltenham Bold, Rugged Roman, Kennedy, Packard, and Cloister Italic supplied by the American Type Founders Association. Many producers employ type specially designed to suit their individual requirements. A selection of 18-36 point type, upper and lower case is sufficient for most purposesType setting is an art in itself and does not come within the scope of this article*
An apparatus for making titles consists essentially of a track supporting a camera and easel which in turn holds the title card. The fundamental requirements are that the title card should be adjustable both vertically, horizontally, and by rotating in a vertical plane while the distance between the camera and easel should be variable so as to accommodate cards of different sizes. The best arrangement is one which permits of moving the camera on a bed in the direction of the easel, while all other adjustments should be attached to the easel. A simple and effective bench consists of two parallel concrete walls about 4'6" high, along the top of which iron runners are fitted, while the camera carriage is bridged across the walls. Details for constructing a fully adjustable easel are given by the author and C. E. Ives*.
