LET US QUOTE YOU ON YOUR NEEDS FORD MOVIE CO. 1659 FORD AVENUE DETROIT, MICHIGAN a wide range from forty inches to about seven feet. When photographing with the aid of these accessory lenses at positions less than four feet from the subject, there occurs some difficulty in centering the field correctly. If the view finder is on top of the case, the image in the finder will represent the correct field with reference to the sides, but it will be incorrect top and bottom. This is due, of course, to the fact that the lens is located a few inches below the finder, although both are in line vertically. If a titler can be used, this problem is eliminated, because the frame for holding the title cards designates the field limits. However, by experimenting with a rod several feet long, which is held against the camera case and is lined up squarely with the center of the lens and pointed in the same direction, the approximate center of the field can be found. In making 8mm. closeups, it is important to use a light adjustable tripod. The jumpy pictures produced by a hand held camera are much more in evidence in the enlarged closeup than in the long and medium shots usually taken. If you have no tripod, be sure that the camera rests on something steady, be it a book, a table top, a chair or a desk. Lighting up [Continued from page 525] back to former systems. The No. 4 bulb is more expensive than the smaller one, but the life is more than seven times as long and only one is needed ordinarily. The actual number depends, of course, on the conditions of the individual room. Check your fuses, however, as the No. 4 draws much more current than the smaller one in order to give its greater light. The No. 4 draws about eight and a half amperes. A safe load for the average home circuit, fused for fifteen amperes, would be one No. 4 plus one No. 2 or three No. l's. To vary this scheme for sequences requiring effect lightings, turn the reflector slightly away from the scene (still pointing it toward the ceiling) and build up the effect lights as desired, by using two or three reflectors with the regular flood bulbs. Turning the No. 4 away lowers the general tone of the scene and allows the effect lights to produce a better contrast. Then, too, there are scenes which may require a general but more harsh light, in which case it is necessary only to tilt the reflector down toward the scene so that it has the direct illumination from the bulb and reflecting surface. At the same time, because of its high position and large reflector, this unit still will flood the scene more uniformly with light than if several smaller units were used.
