tonal control:contrast

A

ratio of dark to light in an image
high cntrast (big difference)
low constast(small differences)
used sometimes : tense,scary

used sometimes to demostrate : washed out,dreaming,vintage

Q

why is contrast important?

A

Contrasts in the image help filmmakers to guide the viewer’s eye to
important parts of the frame and to give the shot an emotionally expressive
quality—somber, cheerful, or whatever.

Q

we control tonality with exposure

A

exposure: Exposure regulates how much light passes through the camera lens.

too dark (unexpose)
too light(overexposed)

Q

The speed of the motion presented onscreen depends on two factors:

A

1.the rate at which the film was shot

  1. the rate of projection

If the movement is to look accurate on the screen, the rate of shooting should correspond to the rate of projection.

Q

perspective

A

The lens of a photographic camera does roughly what your eye does.
Located at a specific point, it gathers light from the scene and transmits that
light onto the flat surface of the film or video chip to form an image that
represents size, depth, and other dimensions of the scene.

Q

the focal length

A

the distance from the center of
the lens to the point where light rays converge to a point of focus on the film

(this changes sizes,proportion and depths )

Q

We can distinguish three general sorts of lenses, based on their focal lengths
and the ways they present perspective.

A

1.The short-focal-length (wide-angle) lens

2.The middle-focal-length (normal) lens

Q

The short-focal-length (wide-angle) lens

A

-less then 35mm

-It’s called that because it takes in
a relatively wide field of view.

-lens exaggerates depth, making figures in the foreground seem unnaturally large and those in the distance seem quite far away

22
Q
  1. The middle-focal-length (normal) lens
A

50mm

This lens seeks to avoid
noticeable perspective distortion.

Foreground
and background should seem neither stretched apart (as with the wideangle lens) nor squashed together (as with the telephoto lens)

23
Q
  1. The long-focal-length (telephoto) lens
A

Long lenses take in a narrower angle of
vision than wide-angle or normal lenses do. As you’d expect, the effect
of movement with a long lens is the opposite of what happens with the
wide angle. A person moving toward the camera takes more time to
cover what seems to be a small distance.

100mm

24
Q

zoom lenghth

A

to enlarge
some part of a shot.

combines:wide-angle, medium, and telephoto options

25
Q

depth of field: a range of distances within which
objects can be photographed in sharp focus, given a certain exposure setting.(focus)

A

selective/shallow focus(just some or one subject)

deep focus(everything is focus)

26
Q

racking focus

A

change focus while filming

27
Q

special effect

A

the most unrealistic is superimposition

28
Q

real projection

A

project footage of a setting onto a screen, then
film actors in front of it.(like of a view)

29
Q

matte work

A

A matte is
a portion of the setting photographed on a strip of film, usually with a part of
the frame empty. Through laboratory printing, the matte is joined with another
strip of film containing the actors. It was common to have expert artists paint
an image of the setting, and the painting was then filmed, leaving a blank
space in the frame. The footage was combined with footage of action, filmed
to fit the blank area

30
Q

aspect ratios

A

The ratio of frame width to frame height

31
Q

academic ratio

A

aspecto ratio -1.37:1

32
Q

now

A

aspecto ratio 1.85:1

33
Q

masks

A

The rectangular frame hasn’t prevented
some filmmakers from embedding other image shapes in it.

over either the camera’s or the printer’s lens to
block the passage of light.

A moving circular mask that opens to reveal or closes to conceal a scene is called an iris.

34
Q

camera angles

A

straigh on angle

high angle

low angle

35
Q

level

A

a camera can be more or less parallel to the hairazon

if the camera is tipped to one side it is Canted

36
Q

distance between thye camera and the subjects

A
37
Q

extreme long shot

A

human figure is tiny ,bird eye view

38
Q

long shot

A

character standing up right take most of the frame

displayes whole body

39
Q

medium long shot

A

from the knee up

40
Q

medium shot

A

is from the waist up

41
Q

medium close up

A

from the chest up

42
Q

close up

A

the subject ocuppays most of the frame

43
Q

extreme close up

A

anything closer then a close up

44
Q

camera moviment

A

frame to be mobile/be able to change

45
Q

pam

A

the camera as a whole dosnt move

but the camera moves left or right

46
Q

tilt

A

the cameras’s body dosnt move

but it pivets up and down

47
Q

tracking shots

A

the whole cameras move side to side or diagnoly or in and out

48
Q

crane shot

A

the body of the camera move up and down

49
Q

dolly

A

heavy cart where u put your camera, is very have and uses tracks

50
Q

handheld camera

A

someone is holding the camera - pretty unstable

can give a pov sensation
or anxiety

51
Q

mobile framing

A

gives us more information about this world

52
Q

reframing

A

If a
character moves in relation to another character, often the frame will slightly
pan or tilt to adjust to the movement

53
Q

rythim of camera movment

A

By choosing the duration and speed of camera movements, the
filmmaker can pace our understanding of the plot action.
