4. Shooting Script - Overheads - and Storyboards






5. Revolve around conflict - and express ideas and cocepts through stories in which a character who needs to accomplish something encounters obastacles and much struggle to get what they need






6. Frequency - Amplitude - Timbre - and Velocity






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






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






9. Shots that don't require any actors to be present like landscapes - location-establishing shots - and shots of objects and cutaways






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






11. Not limited by the linear characteristics of video tape. We can move around in the footage in any direction - instantaneously. All film projects - whether shot on film of DV are edited on NLE. All visual and aural components must be turned into dig






12. 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.






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






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






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






16. 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.






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






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

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






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






23. Recording is too low

26. Character - Goal - and Conflict or Obstacles

28. Executing more than one move at a time






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






30. 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.

33. The recording of sync dialogue in a studio in cases where the production sound is not usable

37. The movement of characters in the space






38. 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.






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






40. Simple but comprehensive prose description of a film's plot






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

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






45. Lighting unit that is position 90

48. Character - Goal - and Conflict or Obstacles






49. Closer shots of the subjects in the scene from and angle that includes a portion of the other person's shoulder or head. This is also called and over-the-shoulder shot.
