A FEW USEFUL HINTS
Focussing
In
order
to
achieve
pinpoint
tocussing
with
the
ground-glass
screen,
it
is
essential
to
bring
the
zoom
lens
to
its
"tele-photo"
position
(e.g.
for
the
Angenieux
zoom:
64
mm)
and
to
full
aperture
(f
1.9
for
the
Angenieux).
Focus
the
image
with
the
focussing
ring.
Then
adjust
the
focal
length
to
frame
the
picture
exactly
as
desired:
the
image
will
remain
perfectly
sharp.
Zoom
For
focal
lengths
greater
than
30
or
40
mm,
the
use
of
a
tripod
is
|
highly
advisable,
for
otherwise
the
operator's
slightest
movements
are
amplified
and,
on
projection,
the
picture
will
be
unsteady.
As
a
general
rule,
use
a
tripod
whenever
possible:
the
film's
steadiness
will
invariably.gain
by
it.
Photocell
Only
shoot
when
the
needle
is
in
the
indicator
notch.
If
the
light
is
too
poor,
use
slow
filming
speeds
(ASA
compensation
is
built-in)
when
the
subject
is
not
moving.
Some
sequences
may
have
to
be
filmed
in
zones
in
which
light-
contrast
is
strong
(beach
or
snow
scenes,
dark
shadows...)
When
'
the
film
subject
is
in
one
of
these
zones
(full
sunlight
or
deep
shadow),
it
is
imperative
that
the
cell
should
only
react
to
the
actual
lighting
in
this
zone
alone.
