Week 2 PowerPoint
Persistence of vision - correct answer-a sparkler's trail, a waved pencil looking rubbery
Beta movement - correct answer-A perceptual illusion in which the human eye responds to
apparent movement as if it were real. think they see moving figures on a film or television
screen when, in fact, there is no true movement.
Predecessors of cinema - correct answer-A flip book. Or....Bird&Cage thaumatrope
celluloid base - correct answer-flexible strip, made of various plastics
gauge - correct answer-width in millimeters of a film strip
sprocket holes - correct answer-runs along the edges so it could pass through a projector
When sound film came in, soundtracks could be encoded how? - correct answer-optically or
magnetically in a thin line down the strip.
frames - correct answer-Small squares on the base coated with a light-sensitive emulsion of
different grains, made from silver halide crystals
Pixel - correct answer-"picture element". Each of these contains some visual information.
When thousands of these appear onscreen, they constitute the image. Arranged in scan
lines
Scan Lines - correct answer-arrangement of pixels
CGI - correct answer-computer generated imagery
video assist digital camera - correct answer-lets filmmakers on the set see how things are
looking immediately
Analog editing involved what? - correct answer-cutting & pasting pieces of plastic filmstrips
Digital editing involves what? - correct answer-computers
Shot scale - correct answer-how close "the dominant" is to the camera. Determined by the
human figure, i.e. how much of a person's body is visible in the frame.
Can change DURING a shot if the subject moves closer to the camera or if the camera
moves closer to the subject.
Extreme Close-Up (ECU) - correct answer-A shot taken on a large scale to highlight one
relatively small object or a part of the human face.
