CURTAIN CUES

Determining your curtain feet:

Determine the exact number of seconds that are required for the curtain to open, basing your timing on a point from which the signal is given until the curtain completely clears the screen masking. Multiply this by 1.5 which will give you the curtain feet for your theatre. (For example, If the curtain time is 15 seconds the curtain feet would be 22.5).

When this has been determined then cue the film as follows:

Opening

There is approximately 3 minutes and 25 seconds at the opening ahead of the picture. The curtain should be fully opened by the time "Samuel Bronston Presents" appears superimposed over the title background. Wind the print down until you see "Samuel Bronston Presents" on the title. Count back from this point the number of curtain feet and put a piece of masking tape on the blank leader at that point.

Approximately 2 and 1/2 minutes after the music starts you should begin to dim your lights and have the lights well dimmed by the time the tape comes through the machine. This is your cue to signal the curtain open and the lights completely out.
