| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who created the beginnings of motion picture? | Eadward Muybridge |
| What animal was in the creation of Muybridge? | A Horse |
| What is Aspect Ratio? | The ratio of width to height of an image |
| What is the aspect ration of standard definition? (Square Tv's) | 1.33:1 (4x3) |
| What is the aspect ration of high definition TV? | 1.78:1 (16x9) |
| What is the aspect ration of widescreen films? | 1.85:1 |
| What is the aspect ration of anamorphic widescreen? | 2.39:1 |
| What is Frame Rate? | Frames per second (FPS) |
| What is the standard frame rate? | 24 FPS |
| What is the fast motion frame rate? | Less than 24 FPS |
| What is the slow motion frame rate? | More than 24 FPS |
| What is the TV equivalent of 24 FPS? | 23.98 FPS |
| What is Focal Length? | The size of the lens in mm |
| What is Focus Distance? | The distance from film plane to critical focus in feet |
| What is F-Stop? | Size of the iris opening that determines the amount of light let in |
| What is the focal length for a normal lens? | 50 mm |
| What is the focal length for a wide lens? | Less than 50 mm |
| What is the focal length for a long lens? | More than 50 mm |
| How do wide angle lenses effect depth of field and space? | Increase depth of field and decompress space |
| What are examples we watched in class of a wide angle lense? | Hot Shots and Citizen Kanes |
| How do telephoto/long angle lenses effect depth of field and space? | Decrease depth of field and compress space |
| What are examples we watched in class of a telephoto/long angle lense? | Graduate and Stand by Me |
| What are the two types of lenses? | Prime and Zoom |
| What is the key difference between a prime and zoom lense? | Prime lenses have fixed focal lengths while Zoom lenses have adjustable |
| What are the four basic shot sizes? | Extreme Close Up (ECU), Close Up (CU), Medium Shot (MS), and Wide Shot (WS) |
| What is Composition? | The placement of objects in a frame to create balance, both visually and narratively |
| What is a high angle shoot? | Shooting from above the subject's eyeline |
| What is a low angle shoot? | Shooting from below the subject's eyeline |
| What is Rule of Thirds? | Breaking the frame into thirds and placing key objects at the intersections |
| What is a Pan? | Moving tripod horizontally |
| What is a Tilt? | Moving tripod vertically |
| What is a Dolly? | Moving the camera on a track or wheeled appartus |
| What is a Tracking? | A type of dolly shot that follows alongside the subject |
| Why are a Zoom and a Dolly not the same thing? | Zoom changes the focal length while a Dolly physically changes the cameras position |
| What does Shutter control? | It controls the amount of time that the film/sensor is exposed to light |
| How is Shutter Speed measured? | In fractions of a second |
| What could motion is seen when you set your shutter to double your FPS? | Smooth/Normal |
| What is the Iris ring and what does it do? | Controls the size of your lens aperture and how much light is coming in |
| What is the size of aperture measured in? | F-Stops |
| What are the common F-Stops? | 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.8, 4.0, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, and 32 |
| What happens when you go up or down the F-Stop chart? | You double or half the amount of light you're letting in |
| What is "Opening Up"? | Moving to the lower end of the F-Stop scale |
| What is "Close Down"? | Moving to the higher end of the F-Stop scale |
| What changes when you change your focus ring? | Focus Distance |
| What is Depth of Field? | The area in a shot in acceptable focus |
| What is the Plane of Critical Focus? | Distance at which an object will be totally in focus |
| What is the One-Third/Two-Thirds Rule? | DOF extends roughly 1/3 in front of critical focus plane and 2/3 beyond |
| What are three things that affect your DOF? | Focal Length, F-Stop, and Focus Distance |
| What is a jump cut? | A jarring edit between two clips that are too similar |
| What are two ways to avoid a jump cut? | Change the image size and/or change the angle 30 degrees or more |
| What is the 180 line? | Imaginary line between subjects that you use to determine/maintain screen direction |
| What are the four ways to cross the 180 line? | Cross the line within the shot with the camera, have a shot on the line in between shots, have subjects cross the line within the shot, and use a cutaway |
| What is the Kuleshov Effect? | Viewers get meaning from the sequence of shots so, the meaning can change depending on the shots before and after |
| What is Pacing? | The rhythm of the film created by the lengths of shots |
| What is Continuity? | Details in a scene stay constant from shot to shot |
| What is the difference between a Dynamic and Condenser mic? | Dynamic don't require power they use magnets while Condensers require power |
| What are the four mic pickup patterns? | Omnidirectional, Cardioid, Hypercardioid, and Shotgun |
| What sound system do we use? | Single System (audio and video are recorded on the same device) |
| What is the difference between hard and soft light? | Hard light creates harsh shadows while soft light creates soft shadows |
| How do you soften light? | By bouncing it or diffusing it |
| What are the lights in three point lighting? | Key light, Fill light, and Back light |
