Terminology

Camerawork:


  • An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. 
  • Image result for All of the camera angles
  • Image result for camera movements tracks, steadicam or crane shots
  • Hand-held camera or hand-held shooting is a filmmaking and video production technique in which a camera is held in the camera operator's hands as opposed to being mounted on a tripod or other base.

  • A point of view shot (also known as POV shot, first-person shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera).

  • The Focus Pull. The focus pull (AKA rack focus) is a creative camera technique in which you change focus during a shot.

Editing 

  • Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is 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.


  • Juxtaposition is a place or deal with close together for contrasting effect.

  • Cross-cutting (also called split-screen) is a drama technique borrowed from the world of film editing, where two scenes are intercut to establish continuity. In drama and theatre the term is used to describe two or more scenes which are performed on stage at the same time.

  • Fast cutting is a film editing technique which refers to several consecutive shots of a brief duration (e.g. 3 seconds or less). It can be used to convey a lot of information very quickly, or to imply either energy or chaos.

  • A wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape. ... The following are some specific styles of wipes: An iris slow is a wipe that takes the shape of a growing or shrinking circle.

  • The definition of a fade-in is the gradual appearance of the picture or sound in movies, television and radio. An example of a fade in is a movie shot that starts as a black screen but eventually shows an image. An example of a fade in is a song quietly played in the background, which eventually becomes louder.

  •  The post-production process of film editing and video editing, a dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. The terms fade-out (also called fade to black) and fade-in are used to describe a transition to and from a blank image. This is in contrast to a cut where there is no such transition.

  • In a traditional movie production, this means it's ready for the sound and visual effects editing teams. However, if you're creating your own video, you're likely to change things after adding music and voice over, especially when syncing the two. 


Soundtrack 


  • Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

  • Diegetic sound. Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film: voices of characters. sounds made by objects in the story. music represented as coming from instruments in the story space ( = source music).

  • Non-diegetic sounds are often used to add drama to moments that would be silent without it.
