Note that the first few frames of R4 are black; there is a frameline marked on the leader to show where to cut the film when making it up for a platter show.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Whoever wrote this is correct; the track is quiet and needs to be played at least one fader setting higher (e.g. 7.5 vs. 6.5) than whatever is normal for your theatre. BTW, why does Fox Searchlight keep producing flat films that have the 20th Century Fox Fanfare with Cinemascope Extension?  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-13-2002 01:29 AM                     Reel 2 1649 feet, 7 frames (one of mine was short by 71 feet. ) Not only are the first few frames of R4 black, the last few frames of R3 are. Further, some distance back (85 feet) from the tail of R3, there is a solid black scene that runs for a few seconds (there is audio). On one of my prints, the folks who plattered the print cut the tail at this point, so their audience would have missed the last minute of R3. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-15-2002 04:08 PM                     quote: BTW, why does Fox Searchlight keep producing flat films that have the 20th Century Fox Fanfare with Cinemascope Extension?

In today's world, the "cinemascope extension" does not mean anything. Times change. Please take further comments to another thread.  |  IP: Logged
