A case in point, some friends of mine were involved with restoring an important film, the client insisted that the background of a scene was too dark, "brighten it! "Then the DP (Guiseppe Rotunno) happened to come to America and stopped by the lab. When asked about this scene he said" It's supposed to be dark, there's nothing there! "<BR/> In the case of Death Laid An Egg, I at first thought it must be scope, it seems like all Italian genre movies of that era were shot in Techniscope, a wide screen process that also cut down on costs. But the little research I did all came up with 185:1. A lot of times when a scope film is transferred to 185, the titles are left squeezed so you can read everything, if unsqueezed names get cut off. Also you will notice the pan and scan process where for example two characters are at opposite ends of the frame and the camera seems to move from one to the other.Joe Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313199765284778117noreply@blogger.com
