Queer Language of the Studios
PUZZLING TERMS
The language of a motion picture studio has its own particular far gon, unintelligible to the outalder. but in which every word carries a definite meaning.
For example, there are perhaps A hundred terms referring to vari ous processes in cutting and hand- ing flm Itself-terms used by the cutters and directors and laboratory men exclusively, and which pro quite unknown to three-quarters of the studio personnel.
There are "chemical fades" and "up dissolvea" and a dozen of more varietien of "wipes," and "glass shota," and "mask shots," and "Mirror dissolves," to name just a few terms that are significant en- uugh to a cutter, but to few others. Then there are "master prints," "scratch prints," and "working prints." They stand for vastly different things in a cutting room. There are 20 or more varieties of lights used in filming scenes, from the big sun-arcs down to tiny spot- lights. Each of these has its own slang name--"riften," "broads." "match-boxes," "80-amp. spots," "scoops," and so on. There must be nearly 100 more terms for the various shades, filters, and shields used on these light-terms which would be incomprehensible to the uninitiated.
Similarly, the writers, directorn, ami players, especially on a comedy lot, have a vocabulary all their own which sounds ludicrous to an out- sider, but which compresses a good; den into a few worda,
