- ASPECT RATIO for Traditional (N.T.S.C.) TV
-
1.33:1
4 units by 3 units - ASPECT RATIO for H.D.T.V.
-
1.78:1
16 units by 9 units - Letterboxing
- the process of transferring a widescreen image to video in a widescreen ratio
- PAN-AND-SCAN
- crops image to match 1.33:1 ratio
- “Telephoto†Lens
-
Brings objects closer⬦ magnifies
large focal length - “Wide Angle†Lens
-
Allows a wider “field of viewâ€
shorter focal length - Problems with Oral Scripts
-
no fancy writing
no hyphenated words at the end of a line
no full justification
no single spacing
NEVER use A.M. / P.M. - NUMBERS (Cardinal numbers)
-
Up to and including 11 = words
Above 11, up to 999 = digits
Above 999 = combination
345,556,232 = nearly 350-thousand - Amplitude = ?
- Loudness
- Frequency = ?
- Pitch
- Quality/Color = ?
- Timbre
- Time Relationship = ?
- Phase
- TRANSDUCER
- changes acoustic energy to electrical energy
- high impedance mics
- microphone which resists the flow of electrical impulses
- Low impedance mics
-
professional microphones
generate less noise
less susceptible to hum/interference
long cables possible w/out noise - pan - camera shot
- pivots right or left
- tilt - camera shot
- pivots up or down
- dolly - camera shot
- the camera moves on wheels toward or away from a subject
- pedestal - camera shot
- the camera moves up or down through space with the use of the hydraulic column
- crane - camera shot
- move the camera up, down, right, left, in an arc, or diagonal as the camera and operator move through space
- zoom - camera shot
- optical adjustment that changes the viewers vantage point
- cut
- an instantaneous and complete transition from one source to another
- segue
- audio transition that involves a rapid drop of the level of one source (fade out) and a fade in of the next
-
dissolve (video)
crossfade (audio) - one source gradually disappears or becomes softer while another appears or becomes louder
- superimposition
- partially dissolve, appearing as a ghosted images of two different sources, both filling the whole screen
- foley
- creation of sound effects as part of a sound design
- nondiagetic sound
- sound or music that exists otuside the reality of the story of film or video producton, such as background music or a voice-over narration
- headroom
- space above the subject's head that compensates for the magnetisim of the frame
- jump cut
- edit that breaks the continuity of a film or video production
- bandwidth
- range of frequencies required or avaiable for signal transmission that determines the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given time.
- focal length
- distance from optical center of the glass element of the lens to the image plane
- luminance
- brightness information of light
- lookspace
- extra space allowed in the frame in order to balance the subject's gaze
- timecode
- electronic signal that provides a descreet numerical reference for each frame or video
- resolution
- clarity or sharpness of reproduced images
- saturation
- property of a color that references the intensity of its hue
- hue
- property of a color that references where it falls within the color
- beam splitter
- device inside a video or digital still camera that separates the entering light in to three seperate colors to be received by the imaging chops or tubes
- continuity (screen direction)
-
1. cinematic appracoh designed to tell a story in a linear fashion based on a set of conversations widely accepted by audiences
2. style of film and video editing in whihc shots are peiced together to create a realistic linear progression through timethat remains as seamless and invisible as possible - rack focus
- camera techniqute in whihc the focal plane is shifted, changing the focus from ne subject on a plane of action to another on a different plane of action
-
true or false:
the control track is an electronic signal that identifies each frame of video with a unique numerical reference - true
- pitch is...
- the psychological perception of frequency
-
Correct or Inncorrect:
It is 67-degrees and cloudy - incorrect
-
true or false:
VU meters always use needles, whole peak meters use LED's - false
- BLACK AUTO TRANS
- fade entire program to black
- AUTO TRANS or CUT on downstream keyer sections
- fade in chyron character generator
