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.
CHAPTER VI IS Neg. 36 Scene 1. Beach. John and Sally coming to camera. They come out of scene. Neg. 19 Scene 2. Beach. Boys and girls playing. Johnson rises and waves. CUT. Neg. Zl Scene 3. Beach. John and Sally see Johnson. Wave back. Neg. 19 Scene 4. Beach. Johnson calls the others. All run out of scene. Here scenes two and four were made together. When the man waves the negative is cut apart and that much is used for scene two, and the remainder of the negative for scene four. 7. Generally there is much more negative than there is room. Some directors may turn in twice as much as is needed. One company actu- ally produced tv/enty-one miles of film for a six-reel picture, and a hundred thousand feet of film negative may be turned in for a ten or twelve reel feature. The negative is first assembled in full and from this the best parts are selected. Entire scenes or sequences of scenes may be removed or replaced with a leader. Some directors time their pictures and get only an exact allowance, but most prefer to overrun that there may be a full reel of really good material when the poor scenes are thrown out. If an essential scene is thrown out it is made over again, this being known as aj^iikfe- 8. Many companies require that their directors shall observe a minimum of production and generally each is required to turn in not less than a complete reel a week or perhaps three reels in two weeks, / in the case of multiple reel stories. Naturally where speed is placed before finished and artistic production, there will be poor photoplays, showing the effects of the hurry in which the scenes were made. The director is sinned against as well as sinning, but there is a growing tendency to regard both speed and finish as a test of a director's abil- ity, and in time it is possible that we shall see decided improvement in production because a director does not have to race against time.

This process is not unlike the common kodak tank development save that the tanks are larger and the film is wound on a rack instead of a reel before being immersed. Film comes in lengths of two hundred feet, but it can be cemented to give any length, though most cameras do not take more than four hundred feet at a time. The de-
