Home Movies (Feb-Dec 1939)

get a good picture. They say photography will permit you to expose any amount of footage you can afford. By the way, you will find unusual things. We found one that hit us as very interesting. The landscape architects used cabbages in a part of their decorating scheme. Imagine rows of cabbage where you would expect to find flowers — and they were attractive. You can see Alcatraz Island from Treasure Island. If you go over from San Francisco you can get a shot of Alcatraz from the ferry as well as Treasure Island. You cannot shoot from the Bay Bridge, as cars are not permitted to stop on the bridge. They must keep moving, not only during the Fair, but at all times. You may get a shot of one of the Clipper Ships coming in from the Orient or leaving. There is an serial stunter flying over the ground and over the bay at times. He shoots colored smoke from his plane in his stunting which will make a startling shot. It seems that every other person at the Fair is carrying a camera. It will possibly be one of the most photographed events in history. Also you will find plenty of movies in the exhibits. Many firms are using them in their displays. Now that I have shot the Fair, I am definitely going to separate the pictures in two parts. One part will be those I shot and the other the commercial pictures which have been made. You may hit fog at the Fair. If it’s just a light haze, don’t be afraid to shoot. In fact that sort of light in California is sometimes confusing. Don’t shut your lens down for that if you are shooting black and white. That light is just as good photographically as the other. It reduces shadows, but is splendid photographically. For Kodachrome, follow the instructions in the box of Kodachrome for that kind of sky. Your heavy fog is different. You seldom have cloudy skies. It’s either a haze or fog if the sun isn’t shining. Here’s hoping you have good shooting light. We did. Movie of The Month • Continued, from Page 143 see people going through an entrance. There isn’t too much of this sort of thing before getting into the meat of the picture, but just sufficient to give atmosphere to the whole thing. It is the timing of shots such as this that makes Shaw’s picture a bit different and qualifies it for the honor of the “Movie of the Month.” The zoo scenes took in a variety of animals — and they showed people watching those animals. Some shots were in close-up of people.
