Abstract
A historical introduction, outlining the various stages of development of motion picture photography; progress in the manufacture of materials; innovations in technic; changes in the design of equipment, lighting systems, etc. The present school of photography is facing a most unsatisfactory period, with its excessive amount of interior work and elaboration; the art is developing too rapidly to permit cine-matographers to thoroughly master it. Great restraints are placed upon the cameraman by the recording of sound, and the camera covers are a serious handicap to his artistry. The supersensitive film gives promise of an era of better photography, permitting improvements in exposures and lighting system The use of filters is but imperfectly understood by the cameraman; and motors, apertures, etc., must be standardized before any considerable improvements in camera design can be realized. The need for photometric devices and other scientific measuring instruments is emphasized, the lack of such facilities causing a degeneration of the photographic art to a system of guesswork.
