Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Link to Scheimpflug principle?

Either in the main body or as a footnote, there ought to be a cross reference to the Scheimpflug principle.

[edit] link to perspective correction lens?

The article Perspective correction lens explains this with images. Link/redirect there? 84.135.208.54 12:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Perspective correction lens and View_camera#View_camera_movements

A far more comprehensive article is in place for the same topic, and camera movements are not restricted to tilt/shift and thus a bad name for this topic. --antilived^{T | C | G} 07:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Text confuses lens tilt and rear standard tilt.

The text on this page also seems to confuse perspective correction (tilt of the rear standard) and control of the focal plane (tilt of the lens). Work needs to be done before it is merged into any other page.

[edit] Dennison Betram

The text doesn't say who Dennison Betram is or why his advice is notable. The Storm Surfer 00:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twenty-first century

"This was popular in the early years of the twenty-first century."

That sounds odd. Last time I checked, we were still in the early years of the twenty-first century... Arnaudf 19:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention the sentence, I wonder if the source even makes the claim. It doesn't look to me like it does, but I don't have time to read it all in detail. Could someone please either provide a quotation or confirm that there isn't one that could be provided and remove the sentence? — The Storm Surfer 00:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Why not just write "it has become popular in recent years" (unless you actually mean the first years of the twentieth century)? Arnaudf 08:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should say whatever the source says. The word popular isn't very meaningful anyway. — The Storm Surfer 00:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replace image

If possible, the example tilt-shift photograph at the start of the article should be replaced with an example of an actual tilt-shift image, not a fake one. --Richmeister_talk 16:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merge from view camera

This article should either be renamed something like “artistic uses of a view camera” or similar and should incorporate and extend the information at View camera#View camera movements, or else this title should be redirected to that section. It's ridiculous to have sub-sections of the view camera article explain this topic better than this article (which ostensibly focuses on just that one aspect) does. --jacobolus (t) 10:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I would argue no merge for the time being for several reasons: first of all, tilt-shift is not exclusive to view cameras, and lenses to accomplish this have been created both for still and movie cameras. Second, it's technically speaking not the view camera article's "job" or "scope" to discuss in detail the principles of tilt-shift - it should refer to it briefly and provide wikilinks to this article. Now it may be that the view camera article does the job better than this article does, but that should be dealt with by moving most of that specific content from view camera to here instead.
