Foley correct answers The creation of sound effects by live performance in a sound recording studio. Foley artists perform sound effects in sync with a scene's action.
Establishing Shot correct answers A type of long shot used to establish the setting or location of a scene. In classical continuity editing, establishing shots occur at the beginning of a scene and help contextualize subsequent close-ups and other partial views of the action.
Continuity Editing correct answers As its name implies, continuity editing maximizes principles of continuity from shot to shot so that the action seems to flow smoothly across shot and scene transitions. Continuity editing facilitates narrative comprehension by the viewer.
Green Screen correct answers Filming of live actors against a blank and colored (green) screen for subsequent compositing with digital elements.
Auteur correct answers A director who's work is characterized by a distinctive audiovisual design and recurring set of thematic issues.
Pan correct answers A type of camera movement in which the camera pivots from side to side on
a fixed tripod base. Pans produce lateral optical movement on-screen and are often used to follow the actions of a scene or to anticipate the movement of performers.
Tilt correct answers A type of camera movement in which the camera pivots up and down on a fixed tripod base. Tilts produce vertical movement on screen and are often used to follow action and reveal detail.
Long Shot correct answers One of the basic camera positions in which a camera is set up at some
distance from the subject of the shot. Film makers usually use the long shot to stress environment
or setting.
Close up correct answers One of the basic camera positions. The camera is set up in close proximity to an actor's face or other significant dramatic object that fills the frame. Close ups tend to isolate objects or faces from their immediate surroundings.
Extreme Close up correct answers Close up shot, really close up.
Medium Shot correct answers One of the basic camera positions in which the camera is set up to record from full to half-figure shots of the performer.
Canted Angle correct answers A camera angle in which the camera leans toward screen left or right producing an imbalanced, off center look to the image. Film makers often use canted angles
to capture a character's subjective feelings of stress or disorientation. Crane shot correct answers A type of moving camera shot in which the camera moves up or down through space. Also known as a crane shot, it takes its name from the apparatus - boom or crane - on which the camera is mounted.
Tracking Shot correct answers A camera movement in which the camera physically moves along
the ground to follow action or to reveal significant narrative information. Tracking shots can be executed by pushing the camera along tracks, by attaching the camera to a moving vehicle such as a car, or by using a handheld Steadicam mount, in which case the camera operator runs or walks alongside the action. Also called dolly shots.
Dolly correct answers A type of movable platform on which the camera is placed to execute a tracking shot. Tracking shots are sometimes called called dollies or dolly shots.
Mise en Scene correct answers A film's overall visual design, created by all of the elements that are placed before the camera. These include lights, color, costumes, sets and actors.
Matte correct answers A painted landscape or location that is composited with the live action components of a shot. Mattes were traditionally done as paintings on glass, but many contemporary films use digital mattes created on a computer. Matte can also refer to a mat that is
used to block or hide a portion of the frame, as when producing a widescreen image in a theatrical production.
Miniatures correct answers A small-scale model representing a portion of a much larger location or building.
Tromp I'Oeil correct answers Optical illusions created by painting or other visual media. Matte paintings in cinema routinely employ tromp I'Oeil techniques to achieve the effects of perspective, scale, depth and distance.
Montage correct answers Used loosely, montage simply means "editing". In a strict sense, however, montage designates scenes whose emotional impact and visual design are achieved primarily through the editing of many brief shots (e.g. Psycho shower scene).
Soundtrack correct answers the sound portion of a film; a recording of this, esp. of the music, on disc, tape, etc.
Ambient sound correct answers The background sound characteristics of an environment or location (e.g. birds, leaves rustling)
Leitmotif correct answers A recurring musical passage used to characterize a scene, character, or situation in a film narrative.
Sound bridge correct answers Sound used to connect, or bridge, two or more shots. Sound bridges establish continuity of place, action or time.
