Our expert's notes

A clapperboard used in the production of Tony Scott’s cult horror film The Hunger, starring Susan Sarandon and David Bowie.
One of the most iconic and memorable aspects of the movie making industry has to be the clapperboard. For decades this has been a vital piece of equipment that enables not just sound and image to be synchronised, but to also advise the viewer of the raw footage the exact details of the upcoming shot. The simple monochromatic device has become a symbolic image synonymous with films, and is still used to this day.

Well used on the production of the film, this large clapperboard has the title “The Hunger” painted along the top with the name of director Tony Scott and director of photography Stephen Goldblatt painted below. Spaces in the boxes below are present to write in chalk the slate and take, with the numbers “786” and “3” still written on the plate. Tape running across the bottom indicates the date it was last used, marked as 2nd June 1982, for an interior day shot. The clapper stick remains in a loose condition, allowing for a sharp snap when closed.

Displaying plenty of wear from its time on use on set, the clapperboard remains in good production-used condition.
