1. Narrative technique that involves intercutting between two or more separate areas of action in such a way that the viewer assumes the scenes are occurring simulataneously






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






3. Shooting a scene from various angles






4. Adjusted to take into account the amount of light that is lost - dissipated - or absorbed by that particular lens

7. A type of location sound that isn't recorded simultaneously with the picture. Two types are Ambient Sound and Location Sound.

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






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






14. Expresses the director's visual strategy for every scene in the film. It shows you what shots are used to cover a scene and in how they connect together as an edited scene. Camera angles - shot sizes - camera moves - etc. are all marked.

16. Controlling the strength of the signal






17. Shooting Script - Overheads - and Storyboards

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






22. 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.






23. Lighting unit that is position 90






24. The things that our characters actually handle in a scene






25. Drawings of shots - arranged on paper in the order they appear in a sequence






26. Loud - sudden sound that exceeds 0dB






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






28. Removing extraneous time and territory






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

41. Form used in film production to keep track of all the mise-en-sc






42. 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.
