CAMERA MOVEMENTS:

• Tilt- Tilts refer to the up or down movement of the camera while the camera itself does not move. Tilts are often employed to reveal vertical objects like a building or a person.

 

• Pan- During a pan, the camera is aimed sideways along a straight line. Note that the camera itself is not moving. It is often fixed on tripod, with the operator turning it either left or right. Panning is commonly utilized to capture images of moving objects like cars speeding or people walking or to show sweeping vistas like an ocean or a cliff.

• Zoom- Zooms happen at the push of a button. Zoom in refers to seemingly approaching the subject, thus making it look bigger in the frame. Zoom out refers to seemingly distancing the subject, thus making it look smaller.

• Dolly- When the entire camera is moved forward or backward, this move is called dolly.

 

LIGHTS

• Key-The key light is the first and usually most important light that a photographer, cinematographer, lighting cameraman, or other scene composer will use in a lighting setup. The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject. The key light is not a rigid requirement; omitting the key light can result in a silhouette effect. Many key lights may be placed in a scene to illuminate a moving subject at opportune moments.

 

• Fill-The fill light is often softer and, by definition, less intense than the key light. The ratio between light and shadow depends on the desired effect.

• Back-The back light shines on the subject from behind, often but, not necessarily to one side or the other. It gives the subject a rim of light, serving to separate the subject from the background and highlighting contours.

MICROPHONES:

• Unidirectional-Unidirectional Microphones are microphones that only pick up sound with high gain from a specific side or direction of the microphone.

• Omnidirectional-Omnidirectional microphones can pick up sound from virtually any direction.

• Cardiod-A cardioid microphone is a unidirectional microphone that picks up minimal ambient noise.

• Lav/Lapel Microphone- A small electret or dynamic microphone used for television, theatre, and public speaking applications, in order to allow hands free operation.

• Boom Microphone - A boom microphone is a directional microphone attached to a pole or arm.
