To anyone interested, just today there is a related article on NPR.
Look for: ” For Film Set Decorators, Tiny Details Count.”

Bye thanks!

I’m a bit curious. Can I ask you a question? Are you Iranian? if so, i will be pleased to have your email address.

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for this appetizing article. It makes me want to try my skill on writing something about films.

As I am not an observant person, I don’t notice so much small details in films. I struggle to understand the English and there is no way I try to find out whether Lincoln had his ear pierced.

I am amazed that Dan noticed so much even when he was only a little boy. And Emiliano is an expert in films also.

Kudos to Lucy and all of you who have written above.

There are a lot of new words and new terms from everyone. I seemed to be from another world and I have so much to learn.

Who started the ideas of making films?

Why are people, like Peter and everyone, willing to spend a fortune on watching films?

I will never make any star rich because I had not paid to watch a film for ages.

Keep watching, keep laughing, and keep suspending your disbelief.

Best Regards

Betty

Bye Peter.

Ciao, Giovanni

Never have I found a post of yours uninspiring!!! Usually, I kind of reading before seeing a movie, especially the period ones. Not to find false with, but I sometimes find anachronisms which I don’t take them serious. For some movies I see then come to read, I can sight minor anomalies which I take pleasure in finding them. I love seeing movies, watching series and some shows. It is a nice time with my family.
Making a good film is a hard work. I experienced this when I helped my son gather pieces of information for his thesis “Architecture In Motion Picture Industry.” I learned a lot more both filming and an architect’s works. In my point of view, when any film directors or casting directors are criticized, they will try more to do their best and compete to create acceptable standard we expect to see.

Yes I remember very well the movies you mentioned and here in Spain it was called, “La noche americana” in Engish or
French it was Day for night, also known as nuit américaine (“American night”), and it was the cinematogrphic techinique
used to simulate a night scene when the shoot was made at sun day light.

It was a techique using tungsten-balanced rather than daylight-balanced film stock or with special blue filters and it
also under-exposing the shot (usually in post-production) to create the illusion of darkness or moonlight.

I could see a lot of these movies, but to be sincere I never did like this techique at all.

My best dear Dan.
