Study Guide: DC274 Midterm SP16 What is the Camera Obscura Intermittent Motion Gearing Why was 24fps adopted as standard frame rate in N. America? First feature film to use sync sound? First Technicolor short? First Features? Know some of the key players and what they did (always good for extra credit) Semiotics Connotation vs Denotation Importance of semiotics to cinematographers/photographers Why is reading direction of audience important to know as an image maker? Emotive vs Informative Objects - meaning from context, creating new meaning by combining/juxtaposing Kuleshov Effect How does motion help distinguish depth 2 functional reasons behind motion detection (and creating motion illusions) Persistence of vision 2 theories that have replaced Persistence of vision 2 ways perceptual system determines size and distance relationships Perspective Vanishing point Color Associations (and culture they’re from) Additive Subtractive Trichromatic vision Tertiary colors – how to make them Hue Value/Brightness Chroma/Saturation Complementary colors Analagous colors Color interaction – what’s it mean? Examples? Achromatic Warm vs Cool colors What is exposure? What is a Stop (EV)? 3 Main components of the Characteristic Curve in film (what they represent) What can be determined from the straight-line of the Curve? What is Dynamic Range (basic idea) What information does the grey card relate? What’s a waveform monitor do as an in-camera tool?
Exposure Triangle: ISO Shutter Speed (still and cinematographic) Aperture Know how each effects the image when changed and how each relates to the others Shutter angle – how it effects image Overcranking vs Undercranking Figuring exposure compensation from shooting at higher or lower frame rates Time lapse Time stretching vs. Overcranking Sample word problems: You take two similarly composed photos of a rollerblader doing tricks at a skate park. The settings for proper exposure are: ISO 200, f-8 at 1/125 shutter speed. You want to shoot a photo at 1/2000 shutter speed, but keep the same f-stop. To compensate for the difference in light, what will you set your ISO in order to keep proper exposure? How will the two pictures look different? Your subject is a herd of wild horses running through a dried up river bed. You take a properly exposed photo at these settings: ISO - 400, Shutter spped - 1/30, fstop - 4. You don't have a tripod, so you want to shoot at a faster shutter to avoid camera shake (blur). You choose 1/500 as your new speed. How will you compensate for the difference in exposure, and why (i.e. how will your new image look in comparison to the first one?)
