Overlapping
Overlapping a scene by combining the fade-out and fade-in for a
smooth transition of scene is known as the "overlap”. This techni
que is rather difficult to master and should be performed carefully.
1
Perform the fade-out with the variable shutter control lever.
2
Rewind the film footage which has been faded out. See page 20
on rewinding.
3
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.
■ Be sure to calculate accurately the time of fade-in and fade-out
and the number of frames affected. Good effects can be obtained
only when the timing is correct. It is also essential that the variable
shutter control lever be shifted evenly and smoothly.
■ As for the time of the overlap, a period of under five seconds is
considered as appropriate.
