7. Combo of colors adjacent to one another on color wheel






8. The weight of a space a person/object is moving into






9. Light on the red-orange end of the spectrum; long wavelengths - low frequency






10. Occurs when objects are placed at the center of the frame or arranged on opposite lines of thirds






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

14. A format associated with newer HD systems where the entire image is scanned in one field






15. The distance from one crest of a wave to the next






16. NTSC stands for...






17. Tesla <33 high voltage transmissions - cycling 60x/second with a sine wave pattern






18. Angle that makes someone seem powerful






19. The ___________ number of bits you have - the greater the number of values you can have.






20. Creates the illusion of increased depth and the distance between objects appears elongated






21. Off-kilter frame that presents objects from a skewed angle AKA DOLL ANGLE!






22. blues - greens - purples






23. Combo of various shades/tints of a particular color (like sepia)






24. A format associated with newer HD systems where the entire image is scanned in one field






25. Creates the illusion of increased depth and the distance between objects appears elongated






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






27. The number of colors available to each individual pixel






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






29. This is achieved when a person's eyes are approximately 1/3 way down the frame






30. In painting - Red - Yellow - and Blue. In film - Red - Green - and Blue.






31. Sound that derives from the world being captured ('Is that a car? I hate you......It's a MOTORBOAT!')






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






33. Gives the impression of wholeness -- the viewer sees all he/she needs to see






34. Tesla <33 high voltage transmissions - cycling 60x/second with a sine wave pattern






35. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of tungsten

44. dimensions of sorta high def






45. A compositional rule that divides the frame horizontally and vertically into thirds






46. Consists of light rays hitting object from single angle - creating hard-edged - well defined shadows (Humphrey Bogart)
