New Film Attempts Documentary of West End

Ivy Films Lends Staff, Support To New Group

Three staffs make up the backbone of the operations. The production staff is the integrating group, handling the personnel, the equipment, the props, and arranging shooting schedules. The direction staff handles the pacing movement of shots, the mood desired, and the length of the shot. Photography staff manipulates the lights and cameras.

Because the director will often call for shooting in the morning, during class hours, the crews have been divided into two sections. Crews almost never go out en masse.

The production and direction staffs decide together what part the crowd wil ltake in the shots. There has been a minimum of trouble, mainly because Cron and Lindauer became friendly with one of the teen-age gangs.

Instead of the usual orchestral background, Cron plans to use noise effects supplemented with a few instruments. The narration will be dubbed in later. Cron and Lindauer are hoping to find an adequate narrator at the University.

The producers hope for an honest portrayal of the bad points of the West End. To emphasize the traffic problem, they have included a sequence of a man being run over by a car.

Cron states that "we are not presenting a solution to the problems of the West End. We hope the audience will provide its own solution." For the time being, Cron and company must provide their solution to a great many problems.
