9. Sound that includes both room acoustics and background noise






10. The order of events in your film






11. Ensures visibility in all parts of your scene with overall bright and even illumination. Minimizes shadows - texture and dimensionality.






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






13. Point to the original data without altering the media file






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






15. Frequency - Amplitude - Timbre - and Velocity






16. 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.






17. The measurement of acceptable diameter which creates the appearance of focus






18. Shot - Shot Sequence - Scene - and Dramatic Sequence
