What are two explanations for how we perceive motion
|
persistence of vision, phi phenomenon
|
|
|
Persistence of visioN/
|
the images move too fast for the eye so the black space isnt seen; has been disproved
|
|
|
Phi phenomenon?
|
closes the shutter between frames, black space, that is cancelled by persistence of vision
|
|
|
What is process during intermittent movement?
|
movement of the camera where the film is pulled down so that each frame is projected; the shutter blocks the screen while the pull-down claw pulls the film down; registration pin holds the film in place as it is exposed to the screen
|
|
|
What does the pull down claw do on the motion pic cam
|
pulls the film down frame by frame
|
|
|
what does the shutter do on the motion pic cam
|
it blocks the projection while the film is pulled down by the pdclaw
|
|
|
What is the role of the registration pin in the motion pic cam
|
holds the film in place as the frame is exposed
|
|
|
what is the exposure time and shutter angle formula?
|
Exposure time (shutterspeed) = (1/shutter speed) * (angle of shutter opening / 360)
SO shutterspeed ^ 2 = angle of shutter opening / 360 |
|
|
What is overcranking?
|
you shoot at 48 fps so when you play back it is in slow motion
|
|
|
What is undercranking? how fast is it shot?
|
you shoot at 12fps so when you play back it is fast motion
|
|
|
What are the calculated lengths for 16mm and 35mm?
|
16 mm is 36 feet per minute
35 mm is 90 feet per minute |
|
|
What are the layers of black and white film?
|
emulsion
base antihalation backing |
|
|
What are the layers of color film?
|
blue emulsion
yellow dye green emulsion magenta dye red emulsion cyan dye antihalation backing base |
|
|
how does the human eye color balance?
|
the human eye adjusts so that the light source looks white
|
|
|
What temperture is tungsten film balanced to? daylight?
|
3200k
5500k |
|
|
What color is an 80a filter? *H
|
blue
|
in poisonwood bible, a-d-a (80a) is sad = blue
|
|
What color is an 85 filter?
|
amber
|
|
|
What color filter do you use if you are shooting tungsten balanced outdoors?
|
amber (85)
|
|
|
What color filter do you use if you are shooting daylight balanced film in a tungsten situation?
|
blue (80a)
|
|
|
What are two ways of keeping track of film?
|
edge numbers/key numbers
key code |
|
|
What are edge numbers/key numbers?
|
they are phtographically imprinted between sproket holes on raw film to keep track of film
|
|
|
What is key code?
|
it is an electronically readable version of edge numbers/key numbers, used to keep track of film; it is like a barcode
|
|
|
How do you read the edge numbers?
|
the first 4 numbers are the date and batch, the rest are sequential numberings
|
|
|
What is analog vid recording?
|
Turning the video wave into an electrical signal
|
|
|
What is digital vid recording
|
Turns the video into 0s and 1s
|
|
|
is analog or digital vid recording superior? why?
|
digital, does not degrade when copied
|
|
|
How does video recording work? what are the possible differences in video cameras?
|
light strikes the ccd (charge coupled device), which is covered with light sensitive pixels that convert the light into a complex electrical signal; 3 chip (rgb) or one chip
|
|
|
What are the 4 video camera controls? H*
|
EECD
exposure (fstops), exposure index (light sensitivity), depth of field, and color balance |
CCD --> EECD
|
|
WHat are the three video standards?
|
NTSC, PAL/SECAM, HDTV
|
|
|
Which video standard is the US interlaced standard?
|
NTSC
|
|
|
Frame rates: how many fps:
NTSC PAL/SECAM HDTV |
NTSC: 29.97 fps
pal/secam: 25 hdtv: many different: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 30p, 50i, 59.94i, 60i |
|
|
Interlaced lines: how many
ntsc pal/secam hdtv |
ntsc: 525
pal/secam: 625 hdtv: 1080 only (720 or 1080 horizontal lines/vertical )pixels |
|
|
What is progressive (with relation to video standards), which video standard uses it?
|
only hdtv, all the slices of the frame are put on sequentially, both 720 and 1080 have this
|
|
|
Which frames for hdtv can use interlaced?
|
only 1080
|
|
|
What is important about resolutiON?
|
the more pixels the better
|
|
|
How many pixels does ntsc have?
|
480
|
|
|
How many pixels does pal/secam have?
|
not mentioned
|
|
|
How many pixles does hdtv have?
|
720 or 1080, 1080 only can be interlaced, both 720 and 1080 can be progressive
|
|
|
What is a new frame rate that is trying to get into hdtv and ntsc?
|
24p
|
|
|
Are variable frame rate cameras expensive?
|
yes sdflkjsdlfjlkjYES
|
|
|
What is the video equivalent of keynumbers/edge numbers
|
timecode
|
|
|
What is timecode? what are the 2 types?
|
how to keep track of frames when videotaping; drop frame timecode and non-drop frame timecode
|
|
|
What is drop frame? is it in video or film?
|
drops an average of 1.8 frame NUMBERS per minute to account for the 29.97ness
|
|
|
What is non-drop frame timecode
|
does not drop the 1.8 frames per minute to account for 29.97ness
|
|
|
how fast does film run?
|
24fps
|
|
|
How do you transfer film to video? why is this difficult?
|
three-two pulldown; becaue film runs at 24 fps and video runs at 30 fps
|
|
|
What is the 3-2 pulldown?
|
every other frame of film you copy to 3 frames of video instead of 2frames, because transfer film->video not the same fps
|
|
|
What complications does the 3-2 pulldown cause
|
trouble with ntsc, you have to slow down the audio because it is not true 30 fps, it is 29.97
|
|
|
How is keycode transferred to video in the 3-2 pulldown?
|
with flex files --> timecode
|
