Secrets of the Movies Revealed

Q-How are auto thrillers. such
as a car tumbling over a cliff pro-
duced?
A-As most producers do not
squander money if they can help it.
most auto thrillers are faxed. When
the high powered auto containing
the william and the Kidnapped
heroine reaches the edge of the cliff
both the auto and the camera stop.
A wooden replica of the auto con-
tanning figures replaces the real car
and il is then showed over the cliff.
The camera man takes a picture oil
the fall and crash and then stops
his camera long enough so that the
actors can crawl under the wreck
age. He then takes a picture of them
crawling injured from the debris,
thus completing the illusion.
Q-What is meant by "douo-
ling?"
A-Often when a scene calls for
a particularly dangerous piece of
work a professional in that par
ticular line is called upon to Ier-
form the stunt in place OF the actor.
This is called doubling" Many
screen stars. however. refuse to have
any one double for them regardless
Of the risk. Douglas Fairbanks is
one Of them.
O-How are submarine pictures
made2
A-The most successful sub
marine pictures were made by the
Williamson Brothers. A specially
constructed boat was used from

which a long steel tube descended
into the water. At the end of the
tube was a chamber of steel and
glass where the camera operator
worked The necessary light was OBJ
tanned by lowering a number of very
powerful electric mercury lamps.
Q--Why are blondes particularly
favored as movie actresses?
A-Movie actresses are not picked
because of the coloring of face and
hair. The director selects types be
cause OF the form of their faces.
Blondes are preferred because
blonde hair photographs dark which
contracts we'll with their usual fai-
compilations.
Q-Why do producers use enclosed
stages and artificial lights more Oft
en- than open sets and natural light?
A-This is because of the fact that
the sun is continually changing its
position and its light therefore is
ever shining on a given object from
a different angle and as many of the
sets are built of two sides only. f..
is practically impossible to work a
full day on an outside set. In the
studio, with the use of arc and spot
lights. a company can work all day
long and into the night. if necessary,
without any variationin the lighting.
When exterior scenes are filmed
outdoor locations are used because
the natural change of light is then
only as 1t should be. Uniform light
ing is one Of the most essential fea-
lures Of good photography in inter
Tor scenes.
