- Exposure Latitude
- The extent to which a light-sensitive material can be over or underexposed and still achieve an acceptable result.
- Negative/Reversal Film Differences
- Negative images on the camera film are reversed such that light areas become dark, and dark areas become light. reversal film, the camera original can be properly projected.
- Film Speed
- The measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light. Film with lower sensitivity (lower ISO/ASA speed) requires a longer exposure and is thus called a slow film, while stock with higher sensitivity (higher ISO/ASA speed) can shoot the same scene with a shorter exposure and is called a fast film.
- Difference between reflective and incident light meters
- Incidence meter mesures the amount of light falling on a subject. Reflected light meter meters the amount of light being reflected back off the subject
- ASA/EI
- ASA (American Standards Association) photographic exposure system became the basis for the ISO film speed system. Exposure index, or EI, refers to speed rating assigned to a particular film and shooting situation, and used in the exposure meter or equation, to compensate for equipment calibration inaccuracies or process variables, or to achieve certain effects.
- Tripod, Dolly, Matte Box
- Tripod a device used to position, support, and stabilize a camera. Dolly is a specialized piece of film equipment designed to create smooth camera movements. MB blocks light preventing lens flares.
- 3 point lighting
- The key light serves as its principal illuminator. Fill light balances the key by illuminating shaded surfaces and removes shadow cast by a person's nose. The back (hair) light serving to separate the subject from the background.
- High/Low Key Lighting
- Low one key light, lots of shadows. High key lighting (sitcoms) free of dark shadows.
- The 180° rule
- a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other... Reverse Shot
- Edge Numbers/Latents
- letters, numbers and symbols placed at regular intervals along the edge of 35 mm and 16 mm film to allow for frame-by-frame specific identification
- Daylight/Tungsten Balanced Film
- Daylight-Outdoor film, Tungsten-Indoor, better overall
- Specular/Diffuse Light
- Specular-Hard light, like direct sunlight, hard shadows. Diffuse-soft light, goes many directions, gentler shadows
- Steps of a Print
- 1. Assembly 2. Rough Cut 3. Fine Cut 4. Picture Lock 5. A+B Roll Splicing 6. Effects added at lab 7. Release Print
