Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In the motion picture industry a China Girl is an image of a woman accompanied by color bars that appears for a few frames (typically one to four) in the reel leader. A "China Girl" was used by the lab technician for calibration purposes when processing the film. The origin of the term is a matter of some dispute but is usually accepted to be a reference to the models used to create the frames -- either they were actually china (porcelain) mannequins, or the make-up worn by the live models made them appear to be mannequins. Originally the "China Girl" frames were created in-house by laboratories to varying standards, but in the 1970s Kodak developed a standardized "China Girl" system called "LAD". LAD itself has since been supplanted by a digital system. |
