This particular photo was, of course, shot os a "still," not 1.00 second at f.16 on a movie frame. Speed Graphic, Isopon film. 1 0i ! 1 , 4 1 i 00, WELL, gosh.

The field of amateur photography is so big that it's hard to get around to pretty ii everything in a short space of time. . ! toff Teti Story The amateur or professional motion picture is a medium. If the istory-tellin- g is lost, then it's merely story ia record, a series of animated snapshots. To an unfamiliar i!audience, such snapshots are : t without rhyme or reason. The motion picture tells its ' story through a series of lclosely related actions or ' events. l It never has scenes Zwhich are long, boresome or !static. It is composed of elei ments which are known as the shot, the scene, and the : .sequence. t 1 The shot presents a single t iaction from a single distance 1 and angle; the scene presents ! :the continuing action, but is i Icomprised of shots which tell $ , the story of that single incizklent. The sequence presents 1 y series of closely Mated I 'fcenes,.',which, when placed in 1 :their proper relationship, tell whole story- IThePlass Veer Shooting in the simplest of about' the home, or I'dories your vacation trip, it 1 4 3 'i - A . . v ;, ,. . will help you to make a script.

A medium shot will show that it's Junior and not Joe Doakes' infant from down the street. A closeup, or a series of closeups from various angles, will show what Junior is doing. be thosellotSkood The secret of a first-clajob is to shoot plenty of foot- age. Give the story a chance.

Since sound is not usually used in amateur photography excepting by the most advanced workers, the medium must be the printed word. There are lots of gimmicks for the mak- ing of fine titles, and one day soon we'll devote a whole column to a few of the tricks , involved. Titles should be short and to the point.

As in trie writing of a story, the final product i s produced by discriminating choice of what has been done in the first place. A suggestion is that you edit your film three or four times. The first time, slash away like mad, discarding elements which d onota to the story itself. The remaining editing may discard more yet, and, again, before yOu're through, you may be adding a few feet of discarded material to make the story smooth and coherent. The' perfect motion picture story would be one which could be told completely and or absolutely without ucth a plc- spoken dialogue. S of course, is very rare.
