where the wet asphalt reflects the images of vehicle and pedestrian, the traffic tieups, the tops of tall buildings lost in mist, all these are effects which are especially likely to arouse interest and excite comment on the home screen as something out of the ordinary. There is also a distinct advantage in taking rain or mist effects in the city — it is never difficult to find shelter. Most of your shots can be made through a convenient doorway or, better still, from a window. In fact, the vantage point of a window high above the street is an excellent one in cinematography for it is from this point of view that one gets wet weather effects on the street at their best. The illustration on page 192 shows one application of this method. From such a city eyrie, the
Cone is the mist and gone is the atmosphere of the village as filmed above
Morning mist softens the stark realities of this Canadian fishing village
camera's eye may peer down and get the wet weather traffic jams in their entirety. The wet, slippery street, the smooth, sleek tops of the cars, the intersecting lines of traffic, all form ever interesting cinematic patterns. Indeed, wet weather city shots are apt to be far more lively and thus of greater cinematic value than scenes taken under similar conditions in the country. But, whether in city or country, we cinematic amateurs should not be content simply to press our noses against a streaming window pane and wish for better shooting weather. The very least we can do under such circumstances is to make a shot of the water streaming down the pane for use sooner or later as an art title background!
