Test Film For Checking Projector Adjustment
ON PREVIEW CASS. #98722 As the title suggests this is exactly what you'd think it is. There are titles cards, which are listed below, segmenting each excerpt from the next. The excerpts themselves are culled from various films, Hollywood and not. Titles: 1) "These pictures and sound samples are for checking 16mm projector equipment operation and room acoustics." 2) "Set tone control normal and volume control for proper dialogue level. Picture and sound quality should be pleasing and dialogue intelligible. Otherwise equipment or room acoustics require attention." 3) "The following excerpts are variable density recordings." "Sample One": MS of three older men in a dim den discussing politics with a heady helping of raw underhandedness between them. "Sample Two": MS, two shot, of a man and a woman talking about having faith-in-oneself-to-accomlish-what-one-wants-to-do, a familiar speech that ends with the quote, "...with God's help." "Sample Three": CU of a father and his young woman of a daughter talking before saying goodnight. "Sample Four": MS and tight LS of a young couple talkin' about a courtin' one another, a lazy, ill-conceived set behind them. "Sample Five" MS of an old man and another man talking while inspecting a pistol. "Sample Six": MS of a woman singing to an evil looking man, a 19th century Russian setting. She has an annoying soprano. Title: "The following excerpts are variable area recordings." "Piano Music Flutter Test." LS's of a desert plains area, perhaps Nevada or Arizona, certainly the Southwest US. Lots of rock faces of great magnitude, deep recesses. "Sample Seven": MS's of Errol Flynn and his female companion eating a meal under the vocal scrutiny of an old woman. "Sample Eight": MS of John Wayne in naval attire at a formal ball. He sits and talks with a fellow navyman and their love interest. "Sample Nine": MS of a young couple arguing in a living room. He sits in a chair, smoking a cigarette while she hovers above him, leaning on a mantle. Title: "The End"
