How to Writ. a Moving pio.tur. Play.

One Of the most absorbing topics OF
the day is the motion picture play and
how it is made. Beyond a doubt at
least half of those who read this news
paper are ambitious to write moving
picture plays, or scenarios, as they are
those who would succeed in this fas-
cinating vocation are unfamiliar with
the methods employed by the profess
sional motion picture play writer's.
Following is What can best be de-
scribed as a movie" dictionary, giving
q few of the more important technical
terms used in the movies that should
be known to writer's Of plays.
Rusiness.The detailed action Of the
actors In the scenes.
Close Up-Action taken with the
performers about eight feet from the
lens, that being the minimum distance
for successful photography.
Commercial-An American photo
play Of the regular service more than
30 days old.
Cut-Ending. a scene sharply by a
change to a leader or to another scene.
Cut Back-The change from one
scene to another having to do with the
same action as FROM one end Of a
telephone line to another. Also the
change to a past scene. such as a
memory that comes to an actors mem
tai vision.
DirectOr1The QnAVale OF Stage
In q theater.
Dissolve-The cunning Of one scene
into another by a gradual cutting off
of one and sharpening of h other. 1t
is done by running the film twice
through the camera: the first time
gradually closing the shutter on the
first scene, and the second time start
ing with a closed stlutter and gradually
opening it on the new sceIe. It Is most
often used to suggest memories of the
mast or visions seen by characters in
the play. The scenes which appear to
their. mental vision are gradually
brought on the screen and are gradual
Iy dissolved away az they end.
Double Exposure-used where the
visions are seen by characters in the
play or for trick photography, as that
in which one actor takes two parts In
the game scene. In this case again the
film is run twice through the camera.
The first time the section OF III pic
ture which IS to show a vision Is cut
out with a shade owe that section OF
the lens, and the second time only the
vision section Is permitted to let light
through. In cases where one actor is
r!aying two parts the two characters
are kept in different parts Of the scene,
one part being photographed on each
run and the other part shut off.
Exterior-A view apparently OF out
