A relative newcomer in outdoor signs is Mylar polyester film, now used as a printed overlay for trans-illuminated signs ( see below ).

For example, when the film is only four minutes old, Neitzbohr refers to a small, Victorian piano stool as `` Wilhelmina '', and we are thereupon subjected to a flashback that informs us that this very piano stool was once used by an epileptic governess whose name, of course, was Doris ( the English equivalent, when passed through middle-Gaelic derivations, of Wilhelmina ).

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 a series of fairy tales and fantasies, Melies demonstrated that the film is superbly equipped to tell a straightforward story, with beginning, middle and end, complications, resolutions, climaxes, and conclusions.

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.

In the 1960 film David and Goliath, Abner ( Massimo Serato ) tries to murder David ( Ivica Pajer ) when he returns in triumph after killing Goliath ; however, Abner is slain by King Saul ( Orson Welles ).

In terms of content, enforcement of the Production Code ensured that no film character could literally get away with murder or be seen sharing a bed with anyone but a spouse ; within those bounds, however, many films now identified as noir feature plot elements and dialogue that were very risqué for the time.

As an example, in the film Oliver !, made in Panavision, the criminal Bill Sikes commits a murder.
