1. Clearly shows both subjects in the scene and defines the spatial relationship of the two to each other and the space around them






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






3. 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.






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






5. 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)






6. Character - Goal - and Conflict or Obstacles






7. The subject of the story - the central character whom the audience will follow as they attempt to achieve their goal






8. 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






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






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






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






12. This type of move breaks the promise of showing something else to the viewer

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






22. 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.






23. The order of events in your film






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






25. The person who pulls focus






26. Changing the plane of critical focus during a take while the camera is running






27. Executing more than one move at a time






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






29. Executing more than one move at a time






30. 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.






31. The subject of the story - the central character whom the audience will follow as they attempt to achieve their goal






32. Two-thirds of the depth range along the z-axis is behind the focus point and one-third is in front of the focus point






33. Hands-on lighting person who implements the lighting designs of the Director of Photography. In charge of setup and proper functioning of the lights.






34. 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)






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






36. 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






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






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






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

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

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






49. Removing extraneous time and territory
