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






2. Removing extraneous time and territory






3. 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)






4. 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.






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






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






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






8. Character - Goal - and Conflict or Obstacles






9. First complete version of the narrative in proper screenplay format

10. Sound that includes both room acoustics and background noise






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






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

24. 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.






25. 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






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






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






28. 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






29. The order of events in your film






30. Legal document - signed before cameras roll - simply stating that the performer gives you the right to use his image and voice in your film

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






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






43. Sound that includes both room acoustics and background noise

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






46. 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






47. 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)






48. 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
