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.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED
Soft-Focus. A picture taken through varying thicknesses of gauze or
focus disc, giving on the screen a soft, misty effect. Sound Film. A film composed of visual images and titles that has a mechanically recorded accompaniment of sound images and music, either in counterpoint or contrapuntally arranged in relation to the visual images. It is imperative to differentiate between the use of sound and the use of recorded dialogue.

Superimpose, To Two or more scenes photographed on the same piece of negative.
Synopsis. -A brief description of a proposed film in narrative form, setting down for the approval or disapproval of the producer the potentialities of the theme as a film subject.

Throw. The distance between the screen and the projector in a cinema.
Treatment. A descriptive, literary rendering of the film, in narrative form, indicating the full visual potentialities of the scenario as a cinematic subject. Although suggesting the manner in which the subject should be handled, the treatment does not include the concatenation of shots, which is strictly a matter of the succeeding detailed shooting-script. The treatment stage of a scenario lies between the brief synopsis and the shooting-script.
Visual Image. A single shot on the screen, governed visually by the principles of film pictorial composition and temporally by the act of editing.
