Focal MovieBooks tell the secrets of making good movies. Focal MovieBooks show you the best methods of successful technique. Focal MovieBooks map out commonsense ways to the art of the amateur. Focal MovieBooks are written by practical men who know the tricks of the great professionals and also know how to make them easy, even for beginners. Focal MovieBooks are in plain English that does not hide "hot air" behind complicated words. They *ully explain all technical terms and make a point of illustrating everything worth illustrating. Focal MovieBooks give chapter and verse for home movie making. SOUND may be said to add an extra dimension to the moving picture. It brings the image on the movie screen one step nearer to reality, for most of us take in life with our ears as well as our eyes. At one time sound used to be a highly specialized business. But as D. M. Neale shows in this book, there are now many ways in which the amateur movie enthusiast — whether he works with 8 mm., 9.5 mm. or 16 mm. material — can turn his silent movies into talkies. Some of the methods call for little more than playing suitable phonograph records at the right time. On the other hand the more advanced optical, and especially magnetic, procedures described here make the home movie worker almost as versatile as a professional motion picture studio.
