Single-Frame Filming
You have, no doubt, observed scenes in docu­

mentary

films

in

which

flowers

fully

bloom

in

a very

short time. These

scenes

are

all

taken

with

single-frame

shooting.

This

type

of

shooting

is

performed

mounting

the

camera

on

a

tripod

and

screwing

a

cable

release

Into

the

single-frame

release

socket.

In

single-frame

filming,

for

better

effects

it

is

advisable

to

calculate

the

number

of

frames

to

be

shot

before

shooting

according

to the following expression.

Number

of

frames

per

second

(18

fps]

x

number of seconds > number of frames to
be shot.

For example, if the scene is to be projected
in

1

minute

20

seconds,

it

will

require:

18 frames X 80 seconds= 1,440 frames.
