|
contrast
|
the varying levels of brightness and darkness within a particular scene
|
|
|
color temperature
|
a measurement, expressed in degrees Kelvin, which provides color information about light. Lower color temperatures are reddish, higher temperatures are bluish.
|
|
|
tungsten incandescent bulb
|
3200 degrees kelvin
|
|
|
flourescent bulb
|
4400 degrees kelvin
|
|
|
daytime light
|
5600 degrees kelvin
|
|
|
filters
|
a glass or gelatin that is placed in front of a camera lens or a light source that alters the light characteristics
|
|
|
dichoric gels
|
blue gels or filters that convert tungsten-balanced lamps to daylight balance
|
|
|
3 point lighting
|
a traditional approach to lighting that employs a key light, fill light, and back light
|
|
|
key light
|
the main source of light in a typical lighting setup, usually a spotlight set above the subject and to the front and side
|
|
|
fill light
|
a light that reduces the shadows and high contrast range created by the key light; typically a much softer light with wider spread
|
|
|
back light
|
a spotlight placed above and behind a person or object to make it stand out from a background
|
|
|
hard light
|
light that has a narrow angle of illumination and produces sharp, defined shadows
|
|
|
soft light
|
lighting instruments that produce diffused light
|
|
|
barn doors
|
black metal flaps placed on a lamp housing that blocks part of the light beam
|
|
|
bounce lighting
|
light reflected into a scene from a ceiling, wall, or reflector
|
|
|
directionality
|
a microphone's ability to pick up sound from a variety of locations
|
|
|
omnidirectional
|
a microphone that picks up from all sides
|
|
|
cardioid
|
a microphone that picks up sound from a heart shaped pattern
|
|
|
supercardiod
|
a microphone that picks up sound in an extreme heart shaped pattern
|
|
|
dynamic microphone
|
a microphone that creates an electrical currect based on the motion of a diaphragm attached to a movable coil suspended in a magnetic field. More rugged that a condenser and does not need a power source from either batteries or powered mixer
|
|
|
condenser microphone
|
uses battery or phatom power to charge an electronic back plate that reacts to vibrations of the diaphragm. These mics have greater frequency response but are less rugged than dynamic microphones
|
|
|
lavalier mics
|
a small condenser microphone that is usually attached to a person's clothing
|
|
|
shotgun microphone
|
a microphone with a long,narrow(usually supercardiod) pick-up pattern that is used to gather sound from a distance
|
|
|
xlr
|
a type of cable connector that carries audio only
|
|
|
mic inputs
|
jacks used to connect microphones to other sound sources. Microphones have no means of amplyfying their signal so the audio mixer usually amplifies mic inputs.
|
|
|
line inputs
|
jacks built into equipment for connecting tape recorders, turntables, and other pieces of audio equipment (but not microphones). since signal amplification is amplified in the equipment itself, the mixer does no additional amplification
|
|

leading room head room balance leading lines frame within a frame 30 degree rule |
|
|
rule of thirds
|
splitting the picture into thirds so you can line up your picture
|
|
|
leading room
|

|
lead eyes to subject (pathway to building)
|
|
|
frame within a frame
|
framing subject with a structure
|
|
|
30 degree rule
|
move at least 30degrees from subject to get a variety of shots
|
|
