CHILDREN
• Continued from Page 414 "Gee, what a way to spend Saturday!" one of them complains if you're equipped to include sub-titles.
But soon the kids are exploring the household for things to keep them busy. Perhaps the children make and
fly paper airplanes for a while (made with bright-colored paper if you're shooting color, of course) ; or they try foot races of various sorts until mother asks them to do something less damaging to the house. I once gave three young children large sheets of drawing paper and boxes of colored crayons for a film of this type. I photographed them as they drew their pictures and included amusing close-ups of their work. This sequence has long been one of my favorites.
Before exploring some other indoor ideas, perhaps we'd better take a look at the general techniques of making movies of the young ones with photofloods. The most important thing to remember is that the more relaxed the children can be, the better your movie scenes. Youngsters who are unused to the bright lights may lose all spontaneity before the camera. The best plan is to leave the lights burning much more than you would actually need to make the picture. If there's one "don't" in movie making, it is: don't turn on the lights just seconds before you start the camera, with the children in front of them. The contrast between the normally low levels of home illumination and the intense photofloods is a shock to the eyes when a gradual change isn't made. Turn on the lights • See "CHILDREN" on Page 429
