L. P. ** This is a semi-documentary of a boy and his father building a bird house, its erection in the garden, and its subsequent tenancy by the boy’s feathered friends, admiration for which furnished the motive for building the house. It is an unusually appealing theme, and this filmer has spiced it up here and there with good lighting effects, camera angles, and a comedy touch — the novice’s usual mistake of hammering thumb instead of nail head ! Photography was fair as was titling, with editing and continuity O. K. Suggestions for Improvement: Several scenes are “jumpy,” indicating that the camera mechanism may have been temporarily out of order. If this condition has not been checked, would suggest a camera examination by the manufacturer’s agent. Several scenes were over or underexposed, and this condition can be prevented in the future by use of an exposure meter or a more careful reading of same. In view of the very appealing theme of this film, we believe G. L. P. could boost it into the three star class by adding a few more titles. Title In Time Saved Nine • Continued from Page 363 He never showed the film to anyone— he was so ashamed of it. It was a total loss, that is it was — until : One day several months later he thought up a simple little title for that roll — a title with only four words — yet a title which not only saved his film but put it up among the best of any he had ever made. That title had saved his film — his pride and most of all, his nine dollars! Now what were these four words which brought a reel of waste film out of the scrap basket and made a most notable scenic record out of it? Place yourself in this amateur’s position. Suppose you had a hundred foot roll of expensive color film badly under-exposed. What title would possibly save it? Perhaps merely by reading these printed words no thought will come to mind. The amateur of whom we speak didn’t get his idea on the spur of the moment either. About once a month he got out his colossal failure and projected it — just for himself. Then, at one screening, he noticed that one of the scenes looked like a moonlight scene. Why, in fact they all looked like moonlight scenes. Then the idea came to him.
