Abstract
The French state-owned Société Française de Production et de Créations Audiovisuelles (SFP) has been experimenting in recent years with electronic cinematography, shooting with a single video camera on 1-in tape. Some salient points of their latest experiences are described. They include, at the beginning, adjustments in labor union relations. Equipment planning for video recording is outlined. The shooting procedure was equivalent to a normal production on film, except for the use of an electronic camera. The advantages of this method are enumerated, and some of the director's, the lighting director's, and the camera crew's experiences and opinions are cited. The post-production phase — transfer to working dubs, scene selection, rough cut, final cut, sound effects placing and mix-down, final on-line transfer of the 1-in tape in conformity with the workprint — is illustrated, and working days for each step are given. A brief description of the planning of editing equipment and its use concludes the paper.
