Cinematography
- It is from the Greek word 'Kinema' which means 'Movement'.
- It mainly is to do with the camera and lighting departments. Also the person operating the camera is the cinematographer. They would work closely with the director, gaffer and grips.
Lighting
Key light is the brightest light on the subject.
Filler light softens the harsh key light and eliminates harsh shadows.
Back light counters the key light, helping to add depth of field and makes the subject look more 'rounded'. It is also when the light source is behind the subject creating silhouettes.
Under light which is the main source of light and come from below the subject. This is mainly used in horror films.
Top lighting is when the main source of light comes from above the subject, highlighting features to create a glamorous and flattering look in a star.
Low key lighting is using only the key and back lights. It creates a sharp contrast of light and dark which creates framing deep shadows.
High key lighting means more filler lights are used in order to create a brighter day and light effects.
Denotation is what you see. It refers to the literal meaning of a word, which is the dictionary definition.
Connotation is what you think of. It refers to the associations that are connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word.
Graphic match is when one image 'cross-fades' into another.
