Quiz 3 Review

STUDY ALL HANDWRITTEN NOTES, YOUR “COMPOSING GOOD PICTURES” SLIP AND YOUR NOTES THAT YOU GLUED INTO YOUR COMPOSITION BOOK.

What rule?

photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. Important compositional elements and leading lines are placed on or near the imaginary lines and where the lines intersect.

from the theory that the human eye naturally gravitates to intersection points that occur when an image is split into thirds

What is wrong with these pictures?

What rule? The rule of line-crossing (or reverse shot) is sometimes called this rule. This refers to keeping the camera position within a field of 180° or a line.

What term?

When filming a close up shot, which rule needs to be applied?

___________ is an individual photo or frame taken by a camera while shooting footage

What is this shot?

What do these pictures represent?

Which is the best interview profile shot?

Depth of Field (DOF):Shallow, Selective or Great/Large?

Depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

What is ‘depth of field’? A camera can only focus its lens at a single point, but there will be an area that stretches in front of and behind this focus point that still appears sharp.

This zone is known as the depth of field. It’s not a fixed distance, it changes in size and can be described as either ‘shallow’ (where only a narrow zone appears sharp) or deep (where more of the picture appears sharp).

How your aperture, focal length and focusing work together to affect depth of field

and control what appears sharp in your photos

The greater the shooting distance, the deeper the depth of field

The Aperture

The aperture is the factor that most influences depth of field. The wider the aperture is, the shallower depth of field will be.

Focal Length

Next to the aperture, the second factor that most affects depth of field is focal length. The longer the lens, the shallower depth of field is. A wide angle lens (a short lens), for instance, would render an image with more depth of field than one with a telephoto lens (a long lens).

Focus DistanceThe closer the focus distance is to the camera, the less depth of field you have. You probably have noticed this. On close-ups of actors or objects, part of the frame is usually blurrier than on wide shots of landscapes.

Depth of Field (DOF):Shallow or Great/Large?

A typical example of a photo with shallow depth of field control – background and foreground blurry

Depth of Field (DOF):Shallow, Selective or Great/Large?

Selective focus is simply using DOF to isolate a subject.

Depth of Field (DOF):Shallow, Selective or Great/Large/Deep?

Deep/Large/Great DOF:

The foreground and background are in focus. Ideal for landscapes.

Making a camera capture appear sharp before shooting is to ___________ the lens.

Jobs of a Camera Lens – Which 3 are the correct jobs?

1- control light coming into a camera 2 - magnify an image 3 – rotate an image 4 - focus on an image

What is an ENG?

What is an ENG? It wasn't until electronic news gathering (ENG) developed in the 1970s and '80s that TV news crews could quickly set up live video signals to send back to the studio and into people's homes, drastically changing the face of television news.

ENG refers to the electronic technologies that allow news crews to report from remote locations outside a studio. Before ENG came about, TV news footage shot outside of the studio was recorded on film, which had to be brought back to the studio for time-consuming processing and editing before it was ready to air. Editing for instance, involved manual cutting and spicing of the film by a trained employee. Often, an anchor reporting a late-breaking story on the 6 o'clock news would have to end a story by promising the audience "film at 11.”

Which part of the camera allows the camera operator

to see/compose a shot?

In photography, a viewfinder is what the photographer looks through to compose, and in many cases to focus, the picture.

Electronic Viewfinders

Viewfinder

Which part of the camera converts the light sent through the lens into an image sent by a cable to a control room?

Which part of the camera converts the light sent through the lens into an image sent by a cable to a control room?

The Body

What are the three primary colors of a camera?

Parts of a Tripod (Quick Release/Wedge Mount)

A _______________ is a portable camera (used typically for ENG).

A ________________ camera is typically fixed in position on a pedestal in a studio.

What piece of equipment is a display device that prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech or script?

Which of the following are not one of the three steps to focusing a studio camera lens?

a) zooming in on your subjectb) using the data display

c) using the focus ringd) using the tripode) zooming out and composing your shot

What shot is this?

A film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen),and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

After you’ve shot an over-the-shoulder shot and have finished an interview, you may want to shoot this shot of the reporter to go with it.
