Y. tious movie maker should make gooduse of his time at the cinema, by analyzing introductory and closing sequences particularly. The first fifty feet are the hardest, but attention to a few simple rules will make the job of working them out on the editing board an easier one. 1. Try to establish the time and place by selecting and photographing suitable scenes when making the picture. 2. Use a minimum number of titles at the start. 3. Keep introductory scenes short. 4. Keep the tempo fast, by changing the point of view frequently, until the main portion of the film begins. asv cine sy tricks [Continued from page 20] I know of few cases wherein the cameraman ever had the good fortune to be photographed well! Usually the obliging friend cuts off his head or an arm. Use the mirror and you can get a scene of yourself photographing yourself, or place the camera on a tripod, point it into the mirror, step out at an angle so that you see the camera lens and you will get a picture of yourself minus the camera. Numerous amusing scenes can be made with a mirror, but it is just one of the devices to aid the cameraman who would like to produce special effects and yet who has no special facilities. Never allow yourself to be handicapped by simple equipment. Use your imagination! Artistry with light [Continued from page 21] harshness and lack of modeling which changes to less harshness and better modeling as the sun's angle above the horizon decreases. This is the reason that outdoor photography is limited to the hours before ten and after three when best effects are desired. To imitate this lighting, we use a general flood of light, balancing it to eliminate all cast shadows and modeling. Then, from a source of light at one side, above and in front of the subject, we throw a strong, oblique light upon it which gives the desired modeling and form. Full illumination and proper modeling tell the story of successful lighting. The last factor requires the separation of planes by light. Even with the lighting which has been described, we often fail to secure the illusion of depth which is desirable. Actors appear to be moving immediately in front of the background, and the illusion of the third dimension is lacking. Depth in any scene is usually more pronounced when a back light is used. As a rule, this light is placed high, at one side and against the back wall.
