Document Summary
General terminology: building a lm (frames, shots, scenes, sequences) A frame (a technical measurement) is an individual still photograph on a piece of exposed lm stock; it is a movie"s smallest compositional elements. Films generally project at 24 fps with each frame repeated once - so 48 individual frames - to create the illusion of movement. Motion picture is a myth, no such thing as a moving picture. 2 correlating images together, looks like motion. Rate of images (frames per second fps) is slower. 24 fps: standard rate at which lms are presented to us. If it is slower, it seems jerky (1920s ex. ) Frame rate determines the speed of a lm: slow motion to super speed. A shot (a technical measurement) is an edited series of frames that comprise one uninterrupted action of the camera; shots are generally de ned by the camera"s distance from its subject. Peter jackson: 48 fps (hobbit). it was more crisp, and sharp.
