A Keeper's short manual

Choose a reel. One scene plays at a time. Tap it again to pause. Returning resumes your place.

Move through the acts. Drag the film edge or tap an act. Higher acts make the music more tense.

Sound the intertitle. Its words tell you the sound pool. Tap again to cut it. Music dips beneath it.

Work the pit. Stack atmosphere, fire a stinger, or hold the telephone to speak. Cut silences everything.
