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.

84 FUNDAMENTALS be used—type 1230 in 35 mm and type 5420 in 16 mm, both Eastman Kodak. If Du Pont film is used, it could be Du Pont Superior 2 type 126 for 35 mm work. All the films mentioned are negative type films. On the other hand, if a scene had to be filmed at night at the station with an express dashing through in a blaze of lights, smoke, and flame, it would be natural to use the fastest film obtainable— assuming that faked shots using infra red light would not be possi- ble. Du Pont type 314A would be a good choice for this, or a Kodak Super-XX Panchromatic type 5242 or Ansco Triple S Panchromatic. For reversal processes, Kodak has four types. These are listed in the table below. Of these, super-XX Panchromatic is the fastest. A number of cameramen consider that direct-reversal film has less graininess than negative-positive operation. In some cases, this is probably true, it is quite often better for single system sound since there is less risk of dirt fouling the track during the extra process- ing and printing sequences for positive operation. Sound recording calls for special emulsion. If it is for double system, there is no particular problem as any of the fine-grain sound recording films can be used. They are generally somewhat blue-sensitive. Eastman Kodak makes the following recommendations: Variable Area Fine-Grain Sound Type 1372 (35 mm) Recording Film Type 5372 (16 mm) Variable Density Fine-Grain Sound Type 1373 (35 mm) Recording Film Type 5373 (35 mm and 16 mm) 35 mm Negative Film Background-X Panchromatic Negative Film, Type 1230 Plus-X Panchromatic Negative Film, Type 1231 Super-XX Panchromatic Negative Film, Type 1232 16 mm Negative Panchromatic Negative, Type 5240 Super-XX Panchromatic Negative, Type 5242
