I Managed to get a copy of a book written by Kris Malkiewicz called "CINEMATOGRAPHY" its 2nd Edition. in this book in pg-5 under a subtopic called "Viewing Systems" i read about the shutters role in viewing system in cameras like arriflex & eclair. i want to know how this works in camera, question-1 Will a person operating camera see the frame completely or inbtwn shutter close and open will be scene? Question-2 He said abt a prism inbtwn lens and shutter and it need compensation, how dis works ? i dint understand this because i dont have a picture in mind about have the mechanism of camera could be. KINDLY HELP ME WITH IT.

@Charles MacDonald Thanks for the idea sir! But in my place hardly there is any theatre where still film projection done. they all are using "U.F.O OR CUBE CINEMA" ill keep searching anyhow :) CHEEERS!!!

@Charles MacDonald Sir,only because i read i came to know that there is something called pitch and 35mm pitch-4.75. Then i got confsed what 16mm pitch size would be. thats why posted here :) BUT I ACCEPT WHAT U SAID I MUST DO EVEN MORE RESEARCH MYSELF :) Thanks for the thought sir ill follow :)

“Because a standard 35mm frame covers 4 perforations or pitches, whereas a 16mm frame only has 1 perforation or pitch.” Sorry i cant undersatnd this answer sir ?? can u explain it clearly ? Bcos,in 16 mm there is 1r & 2r Film stocks . in 2r 16mm film the answer u gave is not applicable ??? do u mean 1r by saying "16MM Frame only has 1 perf" Dats why i cant undersatnd. “Deepak, you're firing off questions left and right.” Sir, i also know there are stuff available in net. But i prefer it hearing from ppl in simple term thats why i relay on u ppl :)and, i get best answers here from genius technicians :)
