Q

What are the parts of the Analog Wave?

A

1.) the electronic replication of sound. The analog wave is an analogous representation of the electrical components of an audio wave.
2.) amplitude is the measurement of polarity. Wavelength is the measurement of the distance to complete one cycle
3.)the frequency is the number of cycles completed per unit of time
1 cycle/1 second = 1 Hertz (Hz)

*Attached
••Affixed to an object. Helps in perception of shape form and texture
*Cast
••Independent of the object, tells where the object is, might tell when events take place, can evoke mood.
*Contrast
••difference between light and dark. Described as fall off. The speed at which light areas become dark.
—-fast fall off has more relative contrast; shows textures

Q

Types of Lighting Instruments

A

Spotlight–directional. Faster fall off.
Fresnel. (Lighthouse). Lowell omni light is portable.

Floodlights–non-directional. Slow fall off
Scoop: lamp with curved reflector.
Soft light: tubes reflected off curved surface.
Fluorescent bank: series of tubes
LED lights
Accessories: umbrella/soft box/balloon

Specialty: Ellipsoidal-for special effects.
