Q. Many people spend half their time wondering what to film nnd IIVIIIl nftcoo
many hours of thought are still undecided. Would it be possiblo lo l'"loli·.lo
ideas for films or film scripts in the P.M.?
A. We could publish such themes but this would destroy a grollt d11nl of tl, ..
pleasure which can be obtained from deciding what to film. A rnnful til' I
is to decide upon the category into which the intended film is to bn pin• "' ,
e.g. comedy, documentary, drama, etc. Having reached a d ocision "I""' I
this point and decided upon a subject then we suggest thllt •lh< nrli< f,,

Q. What is meant by the speed of film 7 H. Irving. Lyton-on I Y""·
A. The speed of film is its sensitivity to light. The degree of sO n 5i~ivity i·.
computed sensitometrically into a unit form, which is called spood rnlinq.
A fast emulsion, that is an emulsion that will respond to less light th11n 1111
ordinary type, is designed for use in interior shots or exterior scono•, wltlr
very poor light conditions. A faster emulsion will have a largor r111inq
number than a slower one. For example VF 32"Sch. 31 °8.S.I. is much fMtr n
than SS with 26.Sch. 25°B.S.I.
