We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
relation to Oldhurst. As it is he had to be content with "Just outside . . ." which is artfully ambiguous.
Later on, he badly needs a connection between the barn and the landscape. So he asks you to confirm that the barn looks across the vale. When you write your notes, try to foresee these difficulties and provide too much information rather than too little.
Since you must give so much thought to the commentary, you may consider doing the whole job yourself. A good commentary sounds easy, but it is not necessarily easy to write. One ill-chosen word can completely destroy the effect you are seeking. If this leads you to scrap your recorded commentary it will be cheaper to have the script written professionally in the first place.
When you project the film, you want to keep the recorded commentary in step with the picture. Your victims will not thank you if they see themselves entering the Zoo while the commentary is already naming the animals. You can, of course, adjust the projection speed to keep picture and sound in step. But you will find you soon forget exactly how they should fit. Then you let the errors accumulate until you come to a shot in which the lack of synchronisation is as obvious to the audience as to yourself. You can avoid this by using some sort of synchronising device. Similar problems arise in tape recording, and there are a variety of satisfactory solutions (p. 88). However, whereas tape recorders can provide half an hour or more of continuous sound accompaniment, your disc recordings will be limited to A\ minutes. This is because the popular recording services cater only for 78 r.p.m. discs up to 12 inches in diameter. Now that 33^ r.p.m. turntables are readily available for long-playing discs, it is a good plan to adopt the slower-speed standard. It reduces the number of breaks to change records. This in turn means you are not forever trying to get the picture in step with a newly started record. However, you may have some difficulty finding a recording service for this standard.
