CHAPTER VI
How to Film — Various Possibilities
Color films :
All makes of color film can be used on model H cameras.
The steady running speed of the apparatus from the first
frame of each scene ensures excellent results even with
color emulsions which are particularly sensitive to the slightest
difference in time of exposure.
Follow the directions contained in the cartons issued by the
film manufacturers.
Indoor subjects with or without artificial lighting :
If a large aperture and high-speed film are used, indoor films
may be taken with the Model H camera ; very good results
are also obtained by means of artificial lighting. To ascertain
the diaphragm at which to set the lens, consult an exposure
table or use an exposure meter.
Titling :
The model H camera lends itself admirably to the taking of
titles as it incorporates all necessary features, i.e. focussing
of the lens, dead accurate centering of the viewfinder down
to 20", taking speed of 8 pictures per second in case of poor
lighting, handcranking or working of the mechanism by means
of an electric motor, reverse mechanism.
Illusion of Movement:
Thanks to the single exposure device, it is possible to create
an illusion of movement in subjects which the eye is accus-
tomed to see at a standstill. In this way the growth of a
plant, animated drawings or titles, etc. may be brought on
to the screen, and the effect of movement be obtained in any
subject by changing its position after each single exposure.
