...days, more and more of those explorations are being closely monitored. At the Portchester School in Bournemouth, a town with one of the lowest income levels in Britain, 986 boys in uniforms and ties pass nine closed-circuit lenses in the corridors as they move between classes. Three exterior cameras mounted on 5-m poles swivel above the school's parking lot and playing fields. School facilities manager John Floyd watches the screens in his office, guarding against threats from without and within. Since the cameras were installed in 2001, school spending on replacement windows has dropped from...
...small cast and crew were on location in Afghanistan, making September Tapes, a film about another American, grief-stricken ex-soldier Don Larson (George Calil), whose response to the attacks is to get in and document “the truth behind September 11” with a digital camera...
...TIME: Can you give an example from the making of 2046? Wong: We're shooting in a small hotel, everything is very narrow, tight, and I decided to shoot in Cinemascope, which created a huge problem for the lighting and camera man because they don't have a stage or anything to put their light.

One thing that's not mini, however, is the price: $1,200 for the basic GZ-MC100, $1,300 for the GZ-MC200, which has a swiveling grip for extra comfort...
...films. (The Infernal Affairs trilogy will be shown Oct. 10 as part of the New York Film Festival.) But the first is the best, the densest, the most tightly coiled. Sam's drug deal and the cops' tracking of it make for a beautifully orchestrated 20min. set piece. The camera is ever on the prowl, but discreetly, observantly, like a cat burglar casing his victim's digs. Little editing ruses--a second or two of slow motion, say, to catch an actor's anguished face--heighten the intensity...
