Video Production Test3

In linear editing, adding shots on videotape in consectutive order without first recording a control track on the edit master tape

Moving video and audio from the recording media to the hard drive of a computer with a nonlinear editing program. Analog videotape signals must be converted to digital before they can be imported by the computer

Necessary step with analog source material whereby the analog signals are converted to digital signals prior to capture

A machine that assists in various linear editing functions, such as marking edit-in and edit-out points, rolling source and record VTRs and integrating effects. It can be a desktop computer with editing software

Consists of edit-in and edit-out points expressed in time code numbers and the nature of transitions between shots

The videotape or disk that contains the final version of an edited program. Subsequent copies are struck from the edit master

Produces highly stable edits for linear editing. Requires the prior laying of a continuous control track by recording black on the edit master tape.

Uses videotape as the editing medium. It does not allow random access of shots

Allows random access of shots. The video and audio information is stored in digital form on computer disks. Usually has two external monitors, small loudspeakers, and an audio mixer

In linear editing it produces the final high quality edit master for broadcast or program duplication. In nonlinear editing the shots listed on the edit decision list are recaptured at a higher resolution

An address code that counts the control track pulses and translates that count into time and frame numbers. It is not frame-accurate.

A preliminary edit

A specific address code that marks each video fram with a specific number (Hour, minute, second, and frame)

a record of each take on the source media. Also called editing log. When the recording media is videotape, the shot record is also called VTR log

A dub of the source tapes to a lower-quality tape format with the address code keyed into each frame

Building an intensified screen event from carefully selected and juxtaposed shots. Does not have to adhere to the continuity principles.

Graphic vectors that extend each other or index and motion vectors that point and move in the same direction

Preserving vidual continuity from shot to shot

Index and motion vectors that point toward each other

A shot of an object or event that is periphically connected with the overall event and that is relatively static.

Index and Motion Vectors that point away from each other

Frame by Frame advancement of a recorded shot sequence, resulting in a jerking motion

An image that jumps slightly from one screen position to another during a cut. Also any gross visual discontinuity from shot to shot

Tells us where things are or are supposed to be in on and off screen space

An imaginary line created by extending convergening vectors or the direction of a motion vector

production outside the studio: sporting events, parades, political gatherings, and trails or government hearings

video production done outside the studio that is usually shot for postproduction (not live)

the use of portable camcorders, lights, and sound equipment for the production of mostly unschedules dails news events. Used in live transmissions and immediate postproduction

Production Activities that can take place away from the studio

An inspection of the remote location by key production and enginering personnel so that they can plan for the setup and the use of production equipment

The vehicle that carries the control room, audio control, video-recording section, video control section, and transmission equipment

Electronically generated settings either through chroma key or computer

The vehicle that sends video and audio signals to a satellite

Computer-simulated environment with which the user can interact

central theme of story

carefully worked out positioning, movement and actions by the talent and for all mobile video equipment used in a scene

Full rehearsal with cameras and other pieces of production equipment. Often identical to the dress rehearsal

Wo equipment

script format that lists the items to be shown on camera and their main features

simultaneous coordination of two or more cameras for instantaneous editing (switching)

Fully scripted tect with video information on page left and news copy on page right

desired effect

smallest convenient operational unit in video and film, usually the interval between two transitions. In cinmena it may refer to a specific camera set-up

list of every shot that camera has to get

Directing a single camera (usually a camcorder) in the studio or field for takes that are recorded seperately for postproduction

Traditional script format for television plays

A shot during filming

a breakdown of time blocks for various activites on the actual production day, such as crew call, setup, and camera rehearsal

Recording additional footage before and after major shots

Traditional script format with video information on page left and audio info on page right

The mental image of a shot

A combination of an orientation session for talent and crew and a follow-up rehearsal with full equipment.
