5. Refers to the size of your subject in the frame






6. List of all the shots that make up the film in the order in which they will be shot






7. Refers to the loudness of a signal as it enters the audio recorder which determines the strength of the recorded audio signal






8. Shot - Shot Sequence - Scene - and Dramatic Sequence






9. Reading from the script pages that actors are given minutes before the audition






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






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






12. Works closely with the director on the visual interprataino of the script and the photographic look of the movie (cinematography). This involves lighting - film stocks - video format - expressive camera angles - compositions - exposures - and f






13. Executing more than one move at a time






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






15. Often used as a guide for framing human subjects and for composition in general. The frame is divided into thirds with imaginary lines along the horizontal and vertical axes and then place significant objects - focus points - and elements of intere

21. The person who pulls focus






22. Shooting a scene from various angles






23. Drawings of each scene from a bird's eye perspective. They help figure out important details like the axis of action - camera placement - and blocking.

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






26. Measures the strength of the incoming signal.






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






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






29. The ability of a lens to gather light is determined by the largest possible f-stop of that particular lens (a fast lens can open up to allow more light than a slow lens)






30. Lens that offers a continuous range of focal lengths in one lens housing






31. Controlling the strength of the signal






32. Lens that has one fixed focal length for more precise manipulation of image quality






33. Lighting unit that is position 90






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

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






37. Two-thirds of the depth range along the z-axis is behind the focus point and one-third is in front of the focus point






38. Finessing all of the edits one-by-one






39. 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.






40. Another name for backlight because of the effect it gives the actor






41. Dramatic Structure Matches - Content and Activity Matches - Matched Action Cuts - Graphic Matches - and Sound Bridges
