-single image on a strip of film. When a series of frames are projected onto a screen in quick procession (only 24 fps), an illusion of movement is created
2.the size and shape of the image on screen when projected 3.the compositional unit of film design |
|
Framing is the
6 |
-use of edges on the film to select and to compose what will be visible on film.
|
|
A Close Up involves

-any voice, musical passage, or sound effect presented as originating from a source within the film's world.
|
|
A Non-Diegetic Sound is
9 |
-a sound represented as coming from outside the space of the narrative, such as mood music or a narrator's commentary.
|
|
Camera Angle is the
10 |
-position of the frame in relation to the subject it shows.
-A high angle is when the camera is looking down. -A low angle is when the camera is looking up. |
|
Deep Focus is
11 |
-the use of the camera lens and lighting to keep both the close and distant panes in deep focus.
|
|
Pan is the
12 |
-movement of the camera from left to right or vice versa on a stationary tripod.
|
|
On the screen, a Pan will
13 |
-produce a mobile framing which scans the space horizontally.
-Pan is not to be confused with tracking spot. |
|
Tilt is a
14 |
-camera movement created by swiveling upward or downward on a stationary support.
-It produces a mobile framing that scans the space vertically. |
|
A Shot is
15 |
-one uniterrupted image with a single static or mobile framing.
|
|
A Take is the
16 |
-the SHOT produced by one uniterrupted run of the camera.
-One shot in the final film maybe chosen from among several "takes" of the same action. |
|
A Tracking Shot is
17 |
-a mobile framing that travels through space forward, backward, and laterally.
|
|
Shot/Reverse Shot
18 |
-two or more shots edited togehter that alternate characters, typically in a conversation situation
|
|
Eyeline Match Shot
19 |
-is where the first shot shows a person looking off in one direction and the following shot shows a nearby space containing what he or she sees.
-obeys the axis of action principle |
|
Backlighting
20 |
-lighting cast onto figures from the side opposite of the camera.
-creates a thin outline of light on the figures' edge. |
|
Key Light
21 |
-in the three-point lighting system, the key light is the brightest light in the scene.
|
|
A Fill Light
22 |
-is lighting originating from a source less bright than the key light.
|
|
Fill lighting is often used
23 |
-to soften deep shadows and illuminate areas not covered by the key light.
|
|
Three-Point Lighting is a
24 |
-common arrangement using three directions of light on a scene.
-the three modes of lighting used are the Backlight, Key Light, and Fill Light. |
|
A Zoom Lens is a
25 |
-lens with a focal length that can be changed during the shot.
|
|
Zoom Lens continued:
26 |
-a shift towards the telefoto range enlarges the images and flattens its panes toghether. This gives the impression of moving into the scene's space.
-A shift toward wide angle gives the impression of moving away from a scene's space. |
|
Mise en Scene is the
27 |
-arrangements of visual weights and movements within a given space.
|
|
In Movies, Mise en Scene is
28 |
- is defined by the frame that encloses the image.
-Cinematic Mise en Scene encompasses both the staging of the action and the way it is photographed. |
|
Extreme Close Up is a
29 |
-more extreme version of Close Up. This technique focuses almost entirely on an object or important body part.
|
|
Rack Focusing/Selective Focusing involves the
30 |
-the blurring of focal planes in sequence, forcing the viewer's eye to travel with those areas of an image that remains in sharp focus.
|
|
The Purposes of the Pan camera movement is to
31 |
1. Provide an all encompassing view of the scene
2.Lead the audience to a particular person or place 3.Follow a person or vehicle across a distant scene. 4.Give the audience the visual image and perspective as seen by a character when turning his or her head. |
|
A Dissolve Shot involves
32 |
-the slow fading of out of one shot and the gradual fading in of its succesor.
A superimpostion of images then occurs, usually at the midpoint. |
|
CinemaScope was a
33 |
-widescreen move format used from 1953 to 1967.
They were replaced by anamorphic lenses that had a 2:66:1 aspect ratio, twice that of the CinemaScope (1:33:1). Anamorphic Presentation of films that CinemaScope started continues to this day. |

Anamorphic Presentation of films that
34 |
-CinemaScope started continues to this day.
