The rule states that the camera should be kept on one side of an imaginary axis between two characters, so that the first character is always frame right of the second character. Moving the camera over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.
If a focal-plane shutter camera is left with sunlight falling on the lens (and the mirror up for an SLR), it is possible to burn a hole in the closed curtain of a non-metal shutter. Camera shake due to the impact of the larger curtains starting and stopping rapidly. Camera designers have learned to overcome SLR mirror-slap by including a mirror ...
one-shot film. Also one-shot cinema, one-take film, single-take film, continuous-shot film, or oner. A feature-length motion picture filmed in one long, uninterrupted take by a single camera, or edited in such a way as to give the impression that it was. opening credits (for a film) opening shot (for a scene) over cranking over the shoulder ...
One net result of this is that a roll of film can typically contain twice the number of exposures as in a full frame 35mm camera (that is, a roll that is nominally 36 exposures allows 72 in the half-frame format). These cameras are called "half-frame" as they expose frames half the width of typical 35mm still cameras. The resulting frame is ...
The 30-degree rule is a basic film editing guideline that states the camera should move at least 30 degrees relative to the subject between successive shots of the same subject. If the camera moves less than 30 degrees, the transition between shots can look like a jump cut—which could jar the audience and take them out of the story. The ...
Overview from above, looking down on the camera panning left and right of the subject Example of a panning technique photo (shutter speed: 1/80) In cinematography and photography, panning means swivelling a still or video camera horizontally from a fixed position. This motion is similar to the motion of a person when they turn their head on ...
A series of drawings and captions (sometimes resembling a comic strip) that shows the planned shot divisions and camera movements of the film. Tilt A shot in which the camera is made to pivot vertically up or down (about its horizontal transverse axis) while filming. Tracking shot/traveling shot A shot in which the camera moves alongside or ...
The ability of the photographer to take images without noticeable blurring by camera movement is an important parameter in the choice of the slowest possible shutter speed for a handheld camera. The rough guide used by most 35 mm photographers is that the slowest shutter speed that can be used easily without much blur due to camera shake is the ...
