The Laboratory Many directors thoroughly understand the technique of cutting and directly supervise the work of the cutter. Nevertheless, the cutter's skill often saves a poor picture. Unfortunately, he sometimes ruins a good picture by poor cutting. The qualifications are: expert knowledge of the technique of cutting, knowledge of dramatic values, general knowledge of photog' raphy and of continuity, knowledge of censorship restrictions. The salary ranges from $75.00 to $150.00 per week. The Assistant Cutters help the cutters "to break down11 the positive film. They also cut the negative film to match the positive film, after the first cutter has completed his work. The qualifications are general knowledge of cutting and the ability to follow directions accurately. The salary ranges from $35.00 to $65.00 per week. The Patchers, usually girls, patch the film for the cutters. When the cutter assembles his scenes, he merely fastens the various pieces of film together with paper clips and winds the film on metal spools. The patchers unwind these spools, unfasten the clips and, by operating special machines, cement the film ends in such a way that the picture frames will match. This work does not require experience or special qualifications, because the patching machines are very easy to operate. The salary ranges from $25.00 to $35.00 per week. [89]
