Principles of AV 2nd 9-weeks Review

a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a movie or television production.

• script
• screenplay
• storyboard
• montage

the process or technique of selecting, editing, and piecing together separate sections of film to form a continuous whole.  This is usually used to show time passing quickly and change happening.

• 3 point lighting
• storyboard
• forced perspective
• montage

a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

• montage
• forced perspective
• 3 point lighting
• polar pattern

the standard lighting technique used in video. The goal is to create the illusion of a three-dimensional subject in a two-dimensional image.

• 2 point lighting
•  3 point lighting
• 2D lighting
• 3D lighting

(also known as the moving-coil microphone) works via electromagnetic induction. They are robust, relatively inexpensive and resistant to moisture.  Ideal for stage use and for loud and close by sounds.

• dynamic mic
• condenser mic
• key light
• fill light

Uses a capacitor to convert acoustical energy into electrical energy. These mics require power from a battery or external source. The resulting audio signal is a stronger signal.

• key light
• fill light
• dynamic mic
• condenser mic

a highly directional microphone with an elongated barrel that can be directed from a distance at a localized sound source.

• lavalier mic
• dynamic mic
• shotgun mic
• omnidirectional mic

a pole with a microphone attached to the end, their aim being to hold the microphone as close to the actors or action as possible without allowing the microphone or boom pole to enter the camera’s frame.

• dynamic mic
• boom mic
• lavalier mic
• bang mic

(also known as a lav, lapel mic) is a small microphone used for television, theatre, and public speaking applications in order to allow for hands-free operation.

• bang mic
• boom mic
• shotgun mic
• lavalier mic

the sensitivity to sound relative to the direction or angle from which the sound arrives, or easier worded how well the microphone “hears“ sound from different directions. The most common types of directionality are: Omnidirectional, Cardioid and Supercardioid.

• polar pattern
• soundwave
• feedback
• soundbed
