If you have already shot several rolls of film — you probably wonder what comes next.
It's titles, of course. And it is even easier to make titles than shooting the actual footage of the family you've been making every since you got that camera.
What do you need?
A titler. of course, and simple instructions on the operation and that's all.
Q. Kind of titler to buy?
A. A typewriter titler.
Q. Why a typewriter titler?
A. They are simple to use. have built-in extra closeup lenses, and title> on the back page of Home Movies can be cut out and inserted in the titler.
Q. What is the cost of a typewriter titler?
A. About $8.50.
Q. What kind of film must I use?
A. If you don't want to process the title yourself, use the film you have in the camera — black and white or color.
Q. Suppose I want to expose the film myself and process it too, what equipment should I use?
A. Get some positive film. (Cost SI. 50 per 100 feet).
If standard film is used, (black and white or color ) the exposure of course must be absolutely correct, otherwise the title will be too dark, or too light.
Some filmers make their titles outdoors where exposure is similar to those exposures used for groups, landscapes or other subjects — but there is one difference. Make sure you take your reading within a foot or so of the title. Otherwise you might get an erroneous reading and under-or over expose.
If it is desired to make the titles indoors, then floods must be used. The problems of exposure are the same here, but the filmer must remember that the title must be illuminated evenly— preferably by two floods, equadistant from the title area. This is no problem if the titler is supplied with two floods located on either side of the equipment. .
Best advice I can offer is simply this: experiment and find out which exposure is right for you. But the shortest route to good titles is keeping a record of all exposures made, choosing the best ones, and going on from there.
Things to avoid:
When placing your lights, make sure that they do not shine into the close-up lens. Flare will produce a blur and ruin the title.
Positive film is slow — in other words, it requires much more light than conventional film. So in order to get as much light as possible, it might be necessary to control the amount of
