HOME MOVIES FOR JUNE PACE 189 sub-title, descriptive title, and a spoken title?— W. A. M., Duluth, Minn. A: Any title occuring in the film after the main and credit titles is termed a sub-title. A descriptive title is one in which facts are stated about the scene or subject filmed, for example: "The Gunnison attracts trout fishermen from all over America." A spoken title contains the quoted speech of one of the persons appearing within the scene, as: "Where were you on the night of June ioth?" Properly written, spoken titles begin and end with quotation marks. jQetb film our garden . . . • Continued from Page lj) aches that result from unaccustomed spading can be emphasized by having our gardener begin spading vigorously, then gradually slowing in tempo, finally stopping altogether from sheer exhaustion. Or picture him a habitual timekiller who stops frequently to gaze at sky, inspect a clod of soil, throw rocks. Another gag idea is to bring a neighbor into the picture. Show the gardener spading and discovering angle worms in the freshly turned soil. This gives him a bright idea which he expresses by calling to his neighbor, showing him the worms, then whispering something about going fishing. A can of worms is dug, then both steal cautiously out of the yard. The gardener's absence is discovered later by his wife when she appears on the scene ready to plant seeds. If our gardener is a golf bug, here's an idea appropriate for him: Each Sunday finds our gardener at work, sweating over spade or hoe, as his golfing pals pass his house on way to the links. They wisecrack as they pass, while our gardener pretends not to notice them. This goes on for several Sundays. Finally our gardener wins top prize in local Victory garden competition — a handsome cup that tops in size and splendor the tiny trophy awarded one of his pals in the Sunday golfing tournament. The comparison inadvertently takes place as the golfers happen along just as the gardening awards are given out. Other gags can be fabricated from such ideas as having the gardener examine the soil daily for first signs of sprouting seeds only to find the sprouts are weeds, or of his wife naively pulling up radishes and onions thinking them weeds. Of course we could follow a strictly serious vein and produce our gardening picture more from an instructional angle on good gardening practice. But for a family movie, the more humor it contains, the longer it will continue to entertain. And think of the greater fun to be had in filming it. Proce^Mng, bugaboo* • Continued from Page 176 trast is present, the reversal process followed is o.k. If the sky-exposed frames are grey, it is possible the developer was old or did not have enough "kick" to it; or it could have been too cold. Many amateurs begin by using D-72 for home reversal. D-72 is a wonderful, all around developer for general use in most any darkroom, but it is not satisfactory for home reversal. A more contrasty, faster working formula is required. Many good formulas have appeared in past issues of Home Movies and the whole process is outlined in the book "How to Reverse Movie Film" available from the publishers of Home Movies. A hazy appearance of the sky-exposed frames may be caused by insufficient developing in the first developer. To avoid this, continue for the full time and at the prescribed temperature which is practically always 60 0 Fah. A reversal job well done will leave edges, or any unexposed portion of the film, a deep black. If they are only a dark grey, either the first or second developers may be at fault or the second development may not have been carried out long enough. Unless film appears rather muddy, it is better to use no hypo bath at all. In case of doubt, wash and dry the film, then project it. If the hypo then appears necessary, the film can be washed in clear water and then given the bath. A yellowish cast or color is frequently caused by the bleach not having been completely cleared away. The clearing bath should do this, although lately the trend has been to do away with the clearing bath. When fresh bleaching solutions are used, the yellow bleach color can be completely removed by a tenminute vigorous washing in clear, cold running water. Stale or used solutions usually leave a yellowish cast on the film which cannot be removed. Some metals will combine with the bleaching solution and cause a chemical action which makes the stain harder to remove. If metal drums or trays (except stainless steel) are used, all metal parts should be covered either with acid resisting paint or pariffin. These constitute the main bugaboos encountered in home reversal. The worker sometimes runs into other obstacles of various kinds, but most of them are more or less uncommon and result from specific conditions in his own particular type of equipment or procedure. 8mm. -THE WORLD IN COLOR-16mm.
