3. Sets up cables - holds second boom when necessary - and wrangles the cables when the boom operator follows a moving shot






4. Primary source of illumination in your scene. Usually it is a motivated light source.






5. Adjusting the optical center away from the focal plane and therefore increasing the magnification power of the lens (telephoto)






6. Clearly shows both subjects in the scene and defines the spatial relationship of the two to each other and the space around them






7. Lighting unit that is position 90






8. Shooting Script - Overheads - and Storyboards

12. The subject of the story - the central character whom the audience will follow as they attempt to achieve their goal






13. Light that separates the subject from the background by positioning a somewhat lower intensity light at a high angle and behind the subject. It traces the edges of the figure and creates depth.

15. A shot in which the subject looks directly at the camera






16. Process of combining the video and audio with the applied effect to create a new media file






17. Sets up cables - holds second boom when necessary - and wrangles the cables when the boom operator follows a moving shot






18. The head of the sound department responsible for recording the best possible quality sound. Chooses the appropriate microphones and mic placement for each and every scene that requires sound. They also monitor and maintain proper recording levels.






19. The strategy of using movie lights to duplicate where light would logically be emanating from

21. Adjusting the optical center back toward the focal plane causing the image to become more wide-angle






22. This type of move breaks the promise of showing something else to the viewer






23. Frequency - Amplitude - Timbre - and Velocity






24. Loud - sudden sound that exceeds 0dB






25. Adjusting the optical center back toward the focal plane causing the image to become more wide-angle






26. Removing extraneous time and territory






27. Separate comfortable waiting space to put the next-in line actor. A place where actors can relax - drink some water - and go over their lines.






28. Organized process by which you schedule and work with a number of potential performers to determine their suitability to your film






29. Lighting unit that is position 90






30. Loud - sudden sound that exceeds 0dB






31. A shot in which the subject looks directly at the camera






32. Sheets for each shooting day; they detail what portion of the script is being shot on a specific day - who needs to be on the set - when they need to be there - and how to get to the set.

36. Soft light that fills in the shadows created by the Key Light






37. Measures the strength of the incoming signal.






38. The strategy of using movie lights to duplicate where light would logically be emanating from






39. This type of move breaks the promise of showing something else to the viewer






40. Deciding where you want to shoot (the look - the access - the logistics - the sound - and securing it)






41. The range of apparent focus along the z-axis






42. Any cutting - arranging - trimming - corrections - or effects you might perform occur only virtually - in a preview mode. Original media files are not altered in any way. (Digital NLE is an example)






43. The person who pulls focus






44. Yields very dark and prominent shadow areas. Occurs when the fill light is considerable lower than the key - allowing areas to be submerged in shadows.

46. Removing extraneous time and territory






47. Responsible for the proper use and actual placement of the microphones for optimal quality






48. To alternate between two or more scenes when editing a sequence






49. Measures the strength of the incoming signal.
