FADE-OUT AND FADE-IN
V

FADE-OUT (F. O.)
By gently pushing the variable shutter ad­
justing lever continuously, the shutter can
be closed at the CLOSE position. When this
is done, the bright picture gradually darkens
and finally fades out. This is known as
"fade-out”
• If the lever is turned beyond CLOSE, it
is possible (up to the red dot) to run the
film with a totally closed aperture.
FADE-IN (F. I.)
By shooting the film while progressively
returning the totally closed lever, the dark
picture gradually becomes brighter. This is
known as "fade-in.”
• The fading technique is used in movies
when there is a change of scene. Generally
speaking, the fade-in operation is used at
the beginning of a movie and the fade-out
at the end. The technique of fading may
also be used to show the elapse of time
or a sudden change in scene. However, it
should not be used indiscriminately.
• For a quickly changing scene, with the
filming speed at 16, a fade of 1~1.5 sec.
would be adequate, or about 2-~3 sec. in
the case of a slow moving scene.
