Silent Film Watch List Book Printable | Viewer Log of What You Watched, Which Print, the Score and Where You Saw It (9 Pages)

You have seen it twice and they were not the same film. One was a worn sixteen millimetre print running fast with a piano in the room; the other was a restoration at the right speed with an orchestral score, tinted amber in the places the first one was grey. Which was which, which archive, which night, and which of them was the one worth telling people about — all of it was obvious in the seat and none of it survives a year. SCREENED is 9 pages of plain, ruled paper for exactly that. What you watched and when, which print it was, how it ran, who played the score and where you saw it — written down by the person in the seat, in their own words. THE FOUR PAGES THAT PAY FOR IT What you watched, with the print beside it. Date, title, year as given, director, where you saw it and who you were with. One line each, written the same night. Which print, and how it ran. The restoration as the label gave it, the tinting, the running time as it actually ran and the speed as the venue labelled it. The columns no general watching log has. Who played the score. Live piano, an organ, a band in the aisle, a recorded score or nothing at all. The single thing that most changes what the evening was, and the thing nobody writes down. A watch list that is yours. What you have heard of and want to find, where a copy might be, and who told you about it. No list of films comes printed in the book. WHAT IS INSIDE One — The collection What you watch, and what you can play Two — The watch list What you are looking for, in pencil Three — Watched Two sheets, written the same night Four — Print and music The restoration, the speed, the score Five — Notes Everything else WHY IT IS A BOOK AND NOT A SPREADSHEET Because it is filled in on a fold-down seat in the dark, in a foyer with a programme in one hand, or on a train home at midnight. A phone screen in an auditorium is the thing you are asked not to open, and by the time you are home the print number on the programme has gone in a bin. Paper takes the line while the lights are still up. WHAT YOU GET Four PDFs, one for each print size: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) A4 Half-Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in) A5 9 pages each.

It reproduces no film and no description of any film, it carries no rating, no star and no mark of any kind, and it recommends nothing to anybody.
