OVERLAP (O. L.)

The

technique

of

overlapping

a

scene

by

combining the fade-out and fade-in to have
a

smooth

transition

of

scene

is

known

as

the

"overlap"

For

8mm

movies,

this

tech­

nique is regarded as difficult to master.

First, operate the fade-out.

Next,

rewind

only

the

film

footage

which

has been faded out. (see section on re-wind-

ing)

Then,

fade-in

in

the

next

scene

over

this

section, in other words, double expose. This

procedure

will

first

make

the

scene

darker

and

then

progressively

brighten

the

scene

which follows.

2 0

Be sure to accurately calculate the time

of

fade-in

and

fade-out

and

the

number

of

frames

affected.

Good

effects

cannot

be obtained if the timing is wrong.

It is essential that the lever be moved

evenly and smoothly

• As for the time of the overlap, a period

of

under

five

seconds

is

considered

as

appropriate.
