PETS
Observe Your Pets, let’s say for just one week, with a “photographic eye.” You’ll be surprised how many shots you’ll find that would make fine movie material. As they do the interesting things, figure where you would put the camera, what angle you would shoot, how you would follow the particular scene.
You can’t possibly get a more interesting and entertaining picture than a reel of your pets, whether they are singular or plural. Did you ever notice the exclamations an animal in a professional picture invariably brings from the audience ?
Let’s give somewhat of a list of pets found around the home. There’s the dog, cat, canary, parrot, and gold-fish. Those are the most common. Others may have anything from turtles to elephants; but let’s stick to the common variety.
We’ll take the dog as the first example. You find him snoozing some
where about the grounds. You set your camera to film him as he wakens. You may possibly secure several good shots here. If something awakened him that demands he be on the job protecting his master’s good, you’ll find him jerk his head up, raise his ears and listen intently. Then he jumps to his feet and is off about his policing business.
If you want to make a continuity of this you can cut in a house bell ringing between the time he raises his head and the time he gets to his feet.
This is merely a suggested shot. If you wish to carry that continuity further and show him either greeting someone or keeping someone off the grounds, we believe you will be happier with your picture if you do not show the full figure of the human being, but merely his lower legs and feet. Let the animals predominate in this reel.
Some animals may have a fear of the noise made by the whirring camera. Accustom them to this noise before you start actual shooting.
You will find your pets have characteristics and mannerisms, the same as a human being. Trail your cat some day and watch its amusing antics in sneaking up on butterflies and bugs. Show it lying on its back playing with a ball of paper suspended above it by a string; show it
