Great Smokes

! Just as Yellowstone National
Park Is characterized by the gey-
sers. Yosemite by granite domes
and waterfalls. and Crater Lake by
its beautiful blue water. 20 the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park Of Tennessee and North
Carolina merits inclusion into this
superlative category OF national
parks by reason Of its fora.
There Is probably no other area
Of 100000 acres where the
plant life Is 20 varied and where
the trees grow TO such proportions.
Plants cover the entire park to its
highest summits. there being no
timberline Ia the Southern Ap-
palachian region.
Between 1900 and 400 kinds
Of Towering plants grow in the
park. Altogether about $500
kinds Of plants make this park
Justly renowned for its fora. The
number Of native trees $50. to be
exact, exceeds the number Of tree
species in all Of Europe. OF this
group there are Is kinds that grow
to greater size here than they do
anywhere else. Approximately 40
per cent Of the half million acres
which comprise the park represent
virgin forest.
In the half-hour drive from
Gatlinburg to Newfound Gap. the
park visitor experiences 4 change
which. speaking from the stand
point OF vegetation. Is comparable
TO driving over 1000 miles north
ward. From forests of sweet gum
and sycamore we come to the for
ests Of spruce and fir. Sixty per
cent Of the fora Of the high
Smokes is identical with that of
Northern New England.

wants to spend q holiday Slavish-
ly following a script and nagging
the other members Of the family
into rehearsals OF every action
that is to be filmed. But 1t will
be we'll TO jot down in outline the
coyerage to be obtained. An oc-
casional reference to the outline
will Jog your memory. keeping the
main story plan in mind, and Will
prevent a too-late discovery that
some major sequence has been
forgotten.
Right at the very beginning of
your proposed film you will want
TO establish the fact that the pic
ture Is TO show events taken on
q trip away from home.
Therefore you might very well
start of with a series of shots
showing the family. burdened
with luggage. leaving the house
and loading up the car and the
car driving Of out Of sight down
the street.
The next sequence might log
ically show the family driving up
TO the hotel or cottage destination
and the story could pick UP and
continue from there. But regard
less OF whether or not you use o
written script or outline you
should make an advance study
Of all the possible sequences TO
be embodied In the film and tie
them together 80 that your Aim
will be both feasible and unified.
Less Footage on Closeups.
The speed or tempo of the film
must also be considered A long
series Of prolonged scenes over
IL seconds In length can make
your Aim draggy and uninterest-
! ing. But . tumble of two and
three second scenes can be even
more irritating. A more moderate
approach should be used. Ordi-
narily a long shot or establishing
shot will demand more footage
than a medium or closeup. The
long shots take In more scenery
and consequently the viewer OF
the film will want more time to
take in the various details. On
medium shots and closeups all Of
the detail Is presented at such
short range that the eye can take
in everything at glance. so you
can hold your closeups to q mini
mum Of footage.
II you are shooting under the
accepted pattern you will run from
establishing shot to long shot to
medium shot to closeup. repeat
ing the cycle from long shot. and
with occasional returns to estab-
fishing shot for purposes OF
orientation plus q few inserts,
cutaways. etc. On rare occasions
an uninterrupted fow OF close
ups or long shots is In order.
Again. the tempo Of the film will
determine this. Action. such as
at a tennis match. might demand
series OF short. fast scenes.
whereas on the other hand Aim
showing a group wandering at
leisure through scenic territory
might we'll justify number Of
successive long shots of ample
footage.
If for some reason you are
forced to include footage Of ap-
parently unrelated subjects on the

Camera Angles
Getting Sequence in Summer Shooting
st active By Alexander J. Wsdderburn same reel

Summer Is the most active sea
son for the amateur movie cam
eraman. With topcoats and other
heavy garments finally discarded,
complete freedom of movement Is
an added incentive to carry along
our movie camera and other equip
ment on vacation or on more
casual occasions. The extra hours
of daylight together with lots of
brilliant sun make it possible to
get in long shooting schedules for
movies of the children and events
that you have wanted TO put on
film for a long time.
Unfortunately, there seems TO be
a compulsion among many anna
teur cinematoeraphers to shoot a
little Of this and q little Of that
without much regard for what
will appear on the screen later on.
This happens most frequently dur
ing vacation time. Now q vacation
record may necessarily cover a
lot of ground. but. under average
conditions, there is no valid rea-
son why the Aim sequences should
not be tied together in some SEM
blance Of order.
No matter how many component
parts there may be to a film rec
ord of your vacation activities. a
logical means for connecting
them always can be found. But
this planning cannot wait until
you are ready to start shooting
On the contrary. a well defined
plan for building up story con-
ttnuity should be considered well
in advance of actual operations.
Keep Story in Mind.
Such a plan might call for a
skeletonized script. None Of US

same reel OF Aim, be sure that
you have titles tina. explain the
connection. But. as Ne have pre-
viously pointed out, q well planned
and executed Aim should stand
on its own merits and be quite
clear In its import without the
benefit OF more than an opening
and closing title.
Follow Reactions.
The Importance OF closeups In
your home movies cannot be toe
forcibly stressed. People are just
naturally curious and want &c
know and see all OF the details
Let's examine. for example. the
normal everyday reaction OF an
individual TO some new and in
teresting scene. While passing
through an area OF strange tic
YOU countryside you may observe
a beautifully planned park. The
act Of passing by establishes the
fact that there Is such . place
The park attracts you so you en-
ter for closer look and while
there you see In one corner Q
statue that demands closer In
spection. So you move up. As you
draw closer TO. note the details OF
the statue YOU will probably Zee
an explanatory inscription on the
base. Curiosity will bring you
right up to the inscription, Re-
member this reaction of yours Of
constantly moving in on an object
when you shoot 4 Aim. You viii
be acting as the eyes OF your audi
ence and II you fail to satisfy
their curiosity In any respect your
film will have failed rs well.
When you do take your camera
in for an extreme close up be sure
TO remember the problem OF paral-
lax. At distances within six feet,
normal framing through your
finder may very possibly cut OF .
portion OF the subject. Most mod
ern finders have an etched pointer
or line on the glass OF the finder
that will indicate the proper
framing for extreme closeup
shots. Be sure TO use IT when In
doubt.
During the warm weather We
naturally gravitate to outdoors
shooting. but there may be time
or two when you will need TO take
a few scenes indoors. A couple
of No. fioodlamps will be ample
for the average occasion particu-
larry II there is supplementary IL
Elimination coming in through the
windows. However. If you are
using color film don't attempt 10
mix fioodlights with sunlight.
since II you are using the indoor
type Aim the daylight will record
In . blue tone wherever 1t strikes
the subject.
