Video Production

Terms that students need to be familiar with for Video Production

TermDefinition
Preproduction Phase where you do everything you do before actual shooting or filming
Production Phase that covers actual shooting/filming of material that will be in the video program
Postproduction The end of the production phase. Shots should be selected, assembled in order, add music/audio, also known as editing phase.
White Balance Camera setting to adjust for lighting in order to make white objects appear white in photos.
Auto-focus A common feature on consumer cameras that keeps only the center of the picture in focus and makes sure the image is clear.
Rule-of-thirds A composition rule that divides the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically. It is a grid that helps you position your subject in areas of the frame that make it look pleasant to the eye.
Head Room The space from the top of the person's head to the top of the frame.
Lead Room When your subject is in motion, it leaves space in the shot for action.
Look Room The distance between the person's gaze, what they are looking at and the edge of the frame or screen.
Auto-Exposure The camera system that ensures that the subject or image appears clear and sharp.
B-Roll Used as your video fillers, what fills up your video with supplemental or alternate footage in between main shots, also illustrates or shows examples.
Story Board Are graphic organizers in the form of illustrating image displayed in sequence.
Frame Just like a picture frame, it is the square shape in which you position your subject.
Cut-Away-Shot An interruption of a continuous film action by switching a view of something else.
Fade A video technique in which the picture is gradually replaced with background color. It is a transitioning technique that takes one picture off the screen and then to another.
Dissolve A video technique in the picture is dispersed or scattered.
Pre-Roll A video footage that appears before the actual needed footage. It is needed for editing.
Eye-Level Angle Where the camera is placed at the subjects height.
Low Angle Camera angle positioned below the eye line
High Angle Camera angle placed above the eye line.
Pan Moving the camera back and forth (left to right).
Tilt When the camera stays fixed but swivels vertically (up and down).
Zoom Where the camera doesn't move but the zoom button and lens is used. The shot moves in closer to the subject.
Reverse Zoom Single shot, using the zoom button and lens, where the shot is moving away from the subject.
Close-Up This shot shows a smaller part of the subject or scene, great for showing details like an emotional face or something the subject is doing.
Extreme Close-Up Shot even closer than Close-Up, for example just of an eye of the subject or a small ant walking on the ground.
Wide-Shot This shot shows the whole scene, establishing shot, sets the stage or scene. This might show a person from head to toe.
Long-Shot Object shot from far away, framed loosely.
Medium-Shot This shot shows less of the scene, less than the wide shot. The camera seems closer to the subject. In an interview this shot may show the person from the waist up.
Over the shoulder shot Literally shooting the subject over the shoulder of someone else. So if someone is having a conversation, this shot would be taken over the shoulder of one of the subjects.
Waist Shot Just like the Medium Shot, you would film someone from the waist up.
Bust shot Framing of a person from the upper torso to the top of the head.
Full Shot Shot of a person from the feet to the top of the head.
Script A written document that tells what the program is about, who is in it, what is supposed to happen and how the viewer is to see and hear the event.
Sequence A term used in gathering video and editing. It refers to a series of related shots. For example, you would have an establishing shot of the beach, followed by a medium shot of a few people swimming, then a shot of a single person swimming.
