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.
graphic apparatus at your disposal can help you to shape the material before you, how it can explain, elaborate, emphasize and strengthen — in fact, how the camera and its accessories can turn actual fact into movie shape. But don't be too confident of the finished shooting-script. Very few can resist the temptation of hacking it about during the shooting to include some new development which suddenly presents itself. And a new spontaneity may often be gained by doing this. As long as the main lines of the treatment are rigidly adhered to, and irrelevant prettinesses religiously eschewed — the shooting-script can be respectfully forgotten.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY CINEMA SOCIETY
An attempt to break away not only from sub-standard stock but also from the type of story which, we readily admit, can be more easily and more efficiently turned out by the trade, has been made by the Cambridge University Cinema Society in its recent production Power, which is being distributed by Zenifilms.
Although many people have much spare time at Cambridge, the spare time of different people does not often coincide; and therefore it is difficult to get a large unit together for any length of time. Documentary is the ideal material for a university film society. Contrary to popular belief, there are many young men in Cambridge who will work like niggers, at work both manual and secretarial. There are also the young men with ideas, so often heard of; and these ideas are given coherent form by means of lectures and practical film work. As for material, Cambridge can provide anything from the most modern laboratories to the most ancient buildings and a beautiful country-side.
The subject of Power presents great possibilities. Had time allowed, it would have been made a two-reeler. It is actually a one-reeler; but the subject has not been skimped, and the film flows easily from the first efforts of man to harness the winds and the waters, to the most modern developments of steam and electrical power.
The film was directed by Gordon Taylor. It was written by him in conjunction with Maurice Harvey, who is now directing Pygmalion for the society, which he also wrote.
Also under production at present is a film of the building of the vast new library at Cambridge, for which half the cost, £500,000, was given by the Rockefeller Trust. The director is Roger ColvilleWallis; on the camera are P. L. Mollison and C. D. Pegge, (the author of Bombay Riots) . David Watson.
