soft lighting - Correct Answer-illumination that avoids harsh shadows
canted framing - Correct Answer-a view where the frame is not level
pan - Correct Answer-a type of mobile framing, the camera turns left or right on its
horizontal axis
fill light - Correct Answer-illumination from a source less bright than the key light, used

key light - Correct Answer-the brightest source of illumination from a position near the

high key lighting - Correct Answer-creates little contrast, shadows are fairly transparent
and brightened by a fill light
style - Correct Answer-the repeated and salient use of film techniques characteristic of a

technique - Correct Answer-any aspect of the film medium which can be chosen and

spatial relations - Correct Answer-situates the audience within a particular environment
