Plan your movies in advance to add a feeling of continuity. Film your scenes in a story-telling sequence. Make your shortest "takes" at least five seconds.

¥
For near subjects, 4 to 8 feet from camera, keep the ZOOM LEVER set on WIDE. Sharpest full range zooms, from WIDE to TELE are obtained when subject is situated 8 feet from camera or beyond.

¥
Take pictures with the sun behind your back whenever possible. The electric eye can "read" the scene and set the lens more accurately if this rule is followed.

¥
When using a movie light keep subject closer to the background than to the camera to assure even overall lighting.

¥
If you film a scene by "panning" (moving the camera horizontally or vertically while shooting) , keep the movement very slow to avoid blurring and jerkiness in your pro¥jected pictures.
