Hints for abetter show
ARRANGE EVERYTHIY\'jG BEF()REH.~\I\’D
Your audience will enjoy your home movie shows much more if
you arrange everything before they arrive. Have the projector set
up, with the light beam properly centered on the screen. Have the
lms you are going to show stacked in proper order, conveniently
at hand. Arrange chairs comfortably, being sure that no one’s head
will interrupt the projection beam. Check to be sure everything is
all right... then, on with the show!
SPLICE AS .\I.*\.\§Y l"Ijl;f\I{%‘ POSSIBIJQ ().\?T() ONAFZ RFIEL
Aminimum number of interruptions makes for amore professional
show. If the subject of your movie is acontinuous one on more
than one lm, splice them together. If there are different subjects,
splice atitle or afoot or more of blank leader between the lms.
If you wish, you can then stop the projector between lms to an-
nounce what’s coming up next. By splicing beforehand you save
time in rewinding and keep your audience’s interest at apeak.

After you have nished your rst reel, simply transfer the now
empty feed reel to the take-up spindle and place your 2nd loaded
reel on to the feed spindle. .. thread the projector and continue with
the show. Later, after your audience has left, you can rewind the
entire show at your leisure.
