Which failure modes does Chapter XIII (1919) name for scripting what cannot be photographed or staged, and which are the authors' claims versus examples versus quoted voices?
Five script-side failures are named: a scene that will not register; one that is possible but impractical (Sargent's chase with dust and smoke); a demand for a particular background; a demand for an effect whose cost is out of proportion; and a belief that the camera does everything it seems to (trick photography versus careful work). The staging failure of players leaving the frame, and the camera and tripod hazards (Fildew), describe studio and camera problems, not script mistakes. The remedy the authors give is to write difficult scenes as a suggestion. All of this is 1919 trade advice; the voices are separated below. The chapter says nothing about modern generative failure modes.
