Film 300 Intro Exam # 1
A style of filmmaking that attempts to duplicate the look of objective reality as it's commonly
perceived, with emphasis on authentic locations and details, long shots, lengthy takes and a
minimum of distorting techniques. - ANS-Realism
Those images that are recorded continuously from the time the camera starts until the time it
stops. That is, an unedited strip of film: - ANS-shot
The style of filmmaking in which aesthetic forms take precedence over the subject matter as
content: - ANS-Formalistic
A shot that usually contains two figures, one with his or her back to the camera, the other facing
the camera: - ANS-over the shoulder shot
The artist or technician responsible for the lighting of a shot and the quality of the photography: -
ANS-cinematographer
A variation of a specific shot: - ANS-take
A ground or molded piece of glass, plastic, or other transparent material through which light rays
are refracted so they converge or diverge to form the photographic image within the camera: -
ANS-lens
The positioning of the camera and lights for a specific shot. - ANS-set up
An elaborate machine used to create special effects in movies: - ANS-optical printer
A technique whereby a portion of the movie image is blocked out, thus temporarily altering the
dimensions of the screen's aspect ratio: - ANS-masking
The spatial relationships among characters within the mise en scene, and the apparent distance
of the camera from the subject photographed: - ANS-proxemic patterns
The slow fading out of one shot and the gradual fading in of its successor, with a
superimposition of images, usually at the midpoint: - ANS-dissolve
A shot photographed by a tilted camera: - ANS-oblique shot
Transparent plastic sheets that are superimposed in layers by animators to give the illusion of
depth and volume to their drawings: - ANS-cel
, A detailed view of a person or object, usually without much context provided: - ANS-close-up
shot
The camera's angle of a view relative to the subjects being photographed. - ANS-angle
The main source of illumination for a shot: - ANS-key light
The blurring of focal planes in sequence, forcing the viewer's eyes to travel with those areas of
an image that remain in sharp focus: - ANS-rack focusing
The arrangement of visual weights and movements within a given space which encompasses
both the staging of the action and the way that its photographed: - ANS-mise en scene
Short for panorama, this is a revolving horizontal movement of the camera from left to right or
vice versa: - ANS-pan
Used primarily by realist filmmakers, these techniques are likely to be unobtrusive, with an
emphasis on informal compositions and apparently haphazard designs: - ANS-open form
A shot taken from a moving vehicle: - ANS-dolly shot
A lens of variable focal length that permits the cinematographer to change from wide-angle to
telephoto shots in one continuous movement, often plunging the viewer in or out of a scene
rapidly: - ANS-zoom
A lens that acts as a telescope, magnifying the size of objects at a great distance: -
ANS-telephoto
Usually in close shots. The mise en scene is so carefully balanced and harmonized that the
people photographed have little or no freedom of movement: - ANS-tight framing
A pre-visualization technique in which shots are sketched in advance and in sequence: -
ANS-storyboarding
A recognizable type of movie, characterized by certain pre-established conventions: -
ANS-genre
Usually in longer shots. The mise en scene is so spaciously distributed within the confines of the
framed image that the people photographed have considerable freedom of movement: -
ANS-loose framing
A style of lighting that emphasizes diffused shadows and atmospheric pools of light: - ANS-low
