- Abstract
- The aim of special photographic effects is to produce a duplicate negative which contains an image as a result of one or more exposures. The various methods for making the exposure or exposures are described in terms of equipment and the diagrammatic evolution of that equipment. This paper attempts to coordinate the many specialized phases of trick photography toward a common ground. There is first contact duplication without a lens; a lens is added allowing selective duplication and consequently matte shots. By removing the films from contact position and placing a lens between them, an optical printer is represented. Lastly, another lens and a translucent screen are added to the system displaying the projection background process.
