Tilting technique
Panning is a photographic technique consisting
in a horizontal movement of the camera. Move­

moving the camera downwards is tilting down,
and upwards is tilting up.
Filming Titles
The Canon 814XL Electronic can perform close-
ups and copy work easily by means of the
macro-cinematography mechanism. Please use it
for filming titles. Pleasant titles can be made by
animation and single frame shooting. If you
project a spliced film, it can make the story
boresome. A title is necessary in order to show
the purpose of filming, and for the sake of the
audience as well as to have a concept un­
derstood. There can be many titles, for example,
a main title to introduce a concept, a credit title
to introduce a director, a title to explain a con­
cept in writing, and an end title to bring every­
thing to a finish. The main title and the end at
least are needed. It is possible to substitute
producer's mark or product initials for credit
titles and print into a main title. Please study
carefully various ideas before making a title.
