|
|
Normal Lens
|

|
|
Telephoto lens
|
a lens of long focal length that affects a scene's perspective by enlarging distant planes and making them seem close to the foreground planes.
|
|
Changing Frames per second
|
determines how smoothly an action plays, Conforming can change the synchronization of visual footage that has an audio track, because
|
|
aspect ratio
|
the relationshop of the frames sidth to its height
|
|
deep focus
|
a use of the camera lens and lighting that keeps objects in both close and distant planes in sharp focus
|
|
an iris

|
|
graphic match
|
two successive shots joined so as to create a strong similarity of compositional element(color, shape)
|
|
racking focus
|
shifting the area of sharp focus from one plane to another during a shot: the effect on the screen is called rack-focus
|
|
Rythmic Editing
|
Rhythmic editing manipulates the length of time each shot remains on the screen. When the length of a series of shots (i.e. the pace and rhythm of the editing) is varied, different effects can be achieved or enhanced.
|
|
Parallel editing
|
the ability to make two separate actions happen at the same
time |
|
cross cutting
|
is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case
|
|
flashback
|
an alteration of story order in which the plot moves back to show events that have taken placce earlier and than ones already shown
|
|
flash-forward

an alteration of story order in which the plot presentation moves forward to future events and then returns to the present
|
|
elliptical ediitng

shot transitions that omit parts of an event, causing an ellipses in the plot
|
|
overlapping editing

cuts that repeat part or all of an action, thus expaning its viewing time and plot duration
|
|
180 rule
|
basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
|
|
establishing shot
|
an establishing shot sets up, or "establishes", a scene's setting and/or its participants. Typically it is a shot at the beginning (or, occasionally, end) of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place
|
|

|
|
eyeline match
|
is a popular editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing
|
|
match on action
|
technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.
|
|
montage
|
montage sequences often combined numerous short shots with special optical effects (fades, dissolves, split screens, double and triple exposures) and music.
|
