Making a Motion Picture

An outline of the motion picture production problem is presented from the viewpoint of the technician. The details of picture making vary somewhat among the several studios but the general procedures and practices are essentially similar. For purposes of illustration a composite organization chart is shown and the functions of the several staff departments discussed. The operations of a typical production unit are described in some detail and a few examples of every-day problems and their solution are mentioned. All phases of the work are revised from time to time to take advantage of new methods and materials which may contribute to a better production job at lower cost.
