UFA-Dabei: Difference between revisions

'''UFA-Wochenschau''' (known from 1968 as '''UFA-Dabei''') was a West German series of black and white newsreels produced by [[Universum Film AG|Universum Film AG]] (UFA) and Deutsche Wochenschau GmbH. 1072 issues were produced from 1956 until 1977, all of which are nowadays owned by Bundesarchiv, the German Federal Archives.

*'''Opening:''' On a black background, we see a rotating globe at the left side. Seconds later, a slightly different UFA wordmark zooms in from Germany while the shadow just fades in. It stays there several seconds until the camera slowly zooms into the globe, then the logo fades out.

'''Variant:''' In issue Nr. 387, after the UFA wordmark appears, the "u" moves to the left corner by a trail making itself 2D and the text "nsere" wiping. Followed by the "f" moving to left by the same trail and the text "rechste" wiping. And finally, the "a" moves to the left bottom by the trail and wiping the text "usgabe". The result is the stacked text "Unsere Frechste Augabe", translated as "Our Cheekiest Issue" (as the letters of the wordmark "move away", the globe gets darker). The text stays there until the logo ends, and the globe zooms in (keeping the UFA shadow).

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' In the end of issue Nr. 304, it used the closing theme.

 

*'''Opening:''' In a zooming-in gradient diamond-shaped tunnel background, the UFA logo zooms in toward the screen. When it covers the screen, it zooms-out as a white rectangle with the black "DABEI" text in a zooming-out gradient rectangle-shaped tunnel background.

*'''Closing:''' A white gradient vertical background wipes away, revealing a black background with a zooming "DABEI" text. Then, the byline "mit Constantin-Film" pops-in and a white gradient horizontal background covers the screen.   

'''Variant:''' In issue Nr. 300, the closing card, as well the final part of the newsreel, is in color.
