This combination of story improvisation and relentless perfectionism — which resulted in days of effort and thousands of feet of film being wasted, all at enormous expense — often proved very taxing for Chaplin, who in frustration would often lash out at his actors and crew, keep them waiting idly for hours or, in extreme cases, shutting down production altogether.

He had dinner with a crew member who had been interviewed about the Evil Dead sequel, and told King that the film was having trouble attracting funding.

Television crew positions are derived from those of film crew.

The ultimate aim of any 1st AD is to ensure the film comes in on schedule while maintaining a working environment in which the Director, principal artists ( Actors ) and crew can be focused on their work.

The effect, needless to say, is almost terrifying, and though at times a bit obscure, the film is certainly a much-needed catharsis for the `` repressed '' movie-goer.

Since the removal force is a function of coating thickness, a differential transformer pickup has been incorporated into the instrument to accurately measure film thickness.

If the force required to remove the coatings is plotted against film thickness, a graph as illustrated schematically in Fig. 5 may characteristically result.

Here, H is the coatings removal force measured parallel to the surface of the substrate and T is the film thickness.

If the cutting force, Af, is plotted against film thickness, a straight line should result passing through the origin and having slope Af.

This signifies that **yc, the rake angle, is no longer a constant to zero film thickness.

The resultant friction force, Af is thus directly proportional to Af and consequently also to film thickness.

The first two forces are directly interrelated and depend upon film thickness, whereas Af is independent of these two and is a constant for a given knife/coating combination.

Of the two, Porter is justly the better known, for he went far beyond the vital finding of fiction for films to take the first step toward fashioning a language of film, toward making the motion picture the intricate, efficient time machine that it has remained since, even in the most inept hands.

In narrative, time is essential, as it is in film.

Almost everything about the movies that is peculiarly of the movies derives from a tension created and maintained between narrative time and film time.

The Great Train Robbery is a one-reel film.

The material of the Porter film is simplicity itself ; ;

The plane of the action in the scene is not parallel with the plane of the film in the camera or on the screen.

The physical film is cut with a knife at the end of one complete sequence, and the cut edge is joined physically, by cement, to the cut edge of the beginning of the next sequence.

The `` chase '' as a standard film device probably dates from The Great Train Robbery, and there is a reason for the continued popularity of the device.

Instead -- and not just to prove my objectivity -- I hasten to report that it's a highly amusing film which probably does a fairly accurate job of reporting on the Easter vacation shenanigans of collegians down in Fort Lauderdale, and that it seems to come to grips quite honestly with the moral problem that most commonly vexes youngsters in this age group -- that is to say, sex.
