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.
as a worm's-eye view of a skyscraper or tall tree or the masts of a sailing ship, although the subject of odd camera angles is rather a touchy one because the most gratifying results are where the camera sees the same as the majority of human beings would.
An odd effect can be filmed on shipboard if the sea becomes a bit rough by suspending the camera from an upper deck, placing a weight at the lower part of the camera and with the aid of one other person keep the distant horizon level, allowing the ship to really rock about as it may. It is in this way that the real force of the sea and the height of the waves can best be shown, and if you are shooting along the promenade deck it will show the passengers in many grotesque positions as they are attempting to keep their sea legs.
It is a well-known fact that if a motion-picture camera can be operated while slowly moving toward an object, it will give a decided stereoscopic effect to the scene. In studio work this movement is taken care of by the use of a truck known as a "dolly," which is a camera platform on Avheels. But in the field this is impractical to operate without having a track built specially for it. A good stunt along these lines for the amateur to try is that of placing a tight, strong wire or cable between two trees and suspending the camera from a pulley which rides along the wire. The camera should be weighted and held steady and then slowly pushed along the track, great care being used to keep it level at all times. If the scene to be photographed has been chosen with due reference to the light, which should be a cross light, a very beautiful stereoscopic effect should be the result. A typical scene to be photographed in this manner would be a person walking along a path in the woods. The reason for this effect is that the cross light gives a roundness to each tree trunk, making each stand out in its relative position to the camera.
These are only a few suggestions to keep the cameraman alive to the fact that his possible pictures are only limited by the amount of his imagination.
