HOME MOVIES FOR SEPTEMBER
MOl'IE PLOTS II TITLES...
A Page of Title Cards that Offers Continuity Ideas
LGAIN this month we present the usual selection of titles with suggestions for filming movies becoming them. Not often recognized is the fact this exclusive monthly Home Movies5 feature offers more than titles for films — it offers in the titles themselves, story ideas for making interesting movies instead of hit and miss shooting.
Next time you have film and have the urge to use your camera, get out this issue of the magazine and turn to this page. There's a timely title suggesting picturing the war
time activities of the home front; two that suggest filming ideas involving young children ; and two seasonal suggestions in the titles pertaining to pictures of carnivals and vacations.
The filming ideas are necessarily sketchy. But if one appeals to you, get out paper and pencil and elaborate upon it. Some of the ideas can be expanded into full reel scenarios. Most of the titles may be tinted with crayon or water colors for use with color film.
WHAT are the sacrifices being made in your community on the Home Front? No matter what, they invariably offer movie making possibilities. Gas rationing, Victory gardening, Red Cross activities, and civilian defense, to mention a few, offer contunity ideas waiting for your camera. Contrasts between pre-war and current-day habits are good material. Have you a shot of the yard 5 years ago? Now make a similar shot of the yard today with its Victory garden, etc. Splice these together for contrast. Or show Dad's vacation scenes made several years ago in contrast with his activities today — wearing his air raid warden helmet and reading his Civilian Defense manual, or participating in fire drill. Other smilar ideas will suggest themselves.
CHILDREN have a way of getting acquainted quickly, and the annual vacation at the lake, ocean, or the country is hardly under way before the kiddies have made new friends with the neighbor children. These are excellent filming possibilities, since vacation play in new surroundings and new playmates is so different from play at home with old toys and friends. Let the children provide their own action. They can think up more things to do than can parents, and they much prefer activities of their own choice. Whatever they do usually makes interesting filming material. Watch and wait with camera ready, then when an unusual situation is about to occur, film it.

SHOW FOLKS

WITH the great amount of traveling now being done by show folks between service camps, bond tours, etc., practically no portion of the country is immune from an occasional appearance of some Hollywood celebrity. Some of the boys who have their cameras with them in camp have made good closeups of film stars. Several filmers have gotten excellent shots of Sonje Henie in her traveling Ice Revue. And many of the better known personalities are continually making local appearances in stage plays, special radio broadcasts, bond rallies, and similar events. To complete the reel a few shots from your local movie screen might be attempted with fast lens and fast film.
