3. Character - Goal - and Conflict or Obstacles






4. A shot in which the subject looks directly at the camera






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






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






7. Frequency - Amplitude - Timbre - and Velocity






8. 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






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






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






11. Removing extraneous time and territory






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






13. An interior scene that can be used in case your exterior shoot is cancelled because of bad weather

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






16. 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

27. The order of events in your film






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






29. Any cutting - arranging - trimming - corrections - or effects you might perform occur only virtually - in a preview mode. Original media files are not altered in any way. (Digital NLE is an example)






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






31. Shooting Script - Overheads - and Storyboards






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






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






34. 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.






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






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






37. 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.






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

40. Measures the strength of the incoming signal.






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

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






50. 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
