42. 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






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






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






45. To alternate between two or more scenes when editing a sequence






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
