1. Color






2. A term for decrease in light intensity






3. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of daylight






4. A format associated with older SD cameras/analog systems where there are two field patterns (odd and even) that make up the whole image (the lines that flip out)






5. A data element containing 8 bits or 256 distinct values






6. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






7. The ________ the focal length - the less light is pulled in and the narrower the image - resulting in a close-up telephoto image






8. Light on the blue-white ends of the spectrum; short wavelengths - high frequency

10. Refers to the number of pixels that make up an image and the number of sensor elements in the sensor






11. Colors produced by mixing two primary colors (COME ON RACHEL YOU GOT DIS) (ORANGE PURPLE GREEN)






12. Creates the illusion of shallow depth and the distance between objects appears diminished






13. A format associated with older SD cameras/analog systems where there are two field patterns (odd and even) that make up the whole image (the lines that flip out)






14. Intensity of light _________ as it moves closer to the light source






15. Light that illuminates the background and often used instead of back light (sounds almost exactly the same...)

18. electromagnetic radiation






19. Aspect ratio of high def






20. Colors produced by mixing primary and secondary colors (red-orange - yellow-green...)






21. Consists of light rays hitting an object from a variety of angles for less contrast and shadows - hazy - (Ingrid Bergman)

33. Frame rate in the U.S.






34. Intensity of color






35. This gathers (or bends) light into its barrel and transports it through several pieces of glass (or elements) to the sensor






36. Average DVD bitrate






37. daylight balanced/outdoor light is this color temperature






38. The _______ the focal length - the more light is pulled in and the wider the image - resulting in a wide-angle image
