How "Art Titles" Are
Made for the Screen

Making titles which describe picto-
rally as we'll as with the words Is the
function of the art title department al
any large picture studio-just one of the
departments which contribute to the
artistry of a production.
Let us assume that a sequence of
photodrama deals with the tseming rush
OF a great city as night falls. The title
as projected on the screen might read:
Among those thousands who wearily
take their horneward way when the fac
tories pour forth their human cogs was
Sally Simper.'
1t would be wrong obviously to show
a peaceful valley or waterfall for that
title. Instead, Elmer Il. Sheeley, heao
of the art title department at Universal
city, probably would take camera
man to the Industrial district and record
with soft focus and the romantic diff
fusion OF modern photography the
gaunt skyline OF the factory belt;
shadowy stacks standing out bleakly
against a cold gray sky; a wisp OF
smoke trailing sullenly over the city.
To "get over better ths idea of closing
the plume of steam that leaps from the
whistle when II shrieks the days end.
No matter how artistic an art title. II
must not be allowed TO violate or en-
croach upon the sacred precinct of the
director. 1t must never be more than
a misty background for the printed
word of the title yet in a flash II
must prepare the spectator for the az
tion that is to follow. give him q clearer
understanding of the title. which may
be so ''gummed up" with poetry as "a
be obscure. and put him in sympathy
with poor little Sally Slmper whom he
will next see leaving the unsavory fac
tory.
But one might reasonably ask:
If Shelley uses his film photographic
the factory. how is he going to get the
printed words into the same picture7
That is one of the things that any
one concerned In the making of motion
pictures can explain in eight or ten
thousand words, most of which cannot
sven be pronounced.
Actually the camera man makes thc
photograph OF the factory on all of the
film except little rectangle In the ex-
act centre. That is covered with n
small mask. Before he develops the
picture OF the factory he will photo
graph card upon which the title is
printed and the letters will just exactly
occupy the space left vacant for tho
purpose by the mask.
