THE MULTIPLE REEL 121 We will suppose that at the start of the dissolve the light value fs 9 and gradually runs down to a value represented by a i. Now the second time the initial exposure will be i and the last 9. It follows that all parts of the picture that have been seen twice have a light value of 10 but the fairy starts with an intensity of I and runs up to 9, getting the full ten on the next exposure, be- cause she was on the scene only one of the times that the film ran through. A fade from one scene to the next is done in the same way, but now the camera is stopped down at the end of the first scene and opened as the second scene is begun so that one scene dissolves out as the other dissolves in. It will be seen that with the exception of straight back turning, all trick work involves much labor and time-expense. Be chary of the use of tricks unless you can feel assured that the effect gained will be well worth the trouble and expense involved. CHAPTER XIX. THE MULTIPLE REEL The series story—the preparation of the script—how to break into parts—numbering the scenes—the synopsis. Stories in two or more parts are known as multiple reels or two, three or four-part stories as the case may be. While this is undoubtedly the story of the future, its special technique is still so new that few definite rules may be laid down. Some companies want stories in which each reel or part shall be capable of being used as a single reel independently of the other reels or parts. This is because a story may be found not strong enough in interest to run for two or three reels and yet one or more of the parts may be made into good single reel releases. The more general demand, however, is for a series of reels with a continuous subject, each reel terminating with a minor climax with the grand climax at the end of the last reel. For this no better example can be given than the play of the stage. At the end of each act there comes a definite stoppage of the action at a point which leaves the audience eager for the continuation. At the end of the first act the villain declares that the heroine shall be his and the curtain falls on this situation, leaving the audience wondering how he is going to bring this to pass. We are eager
