Z-film: refers to a very low-budgeted,
independently-made, non-union movie
White balance: refers to electronically setting or '
color-correcting' a camera's white balance
Walk-on: minor role consisting of a single, brief
appearance on the screen
Celluloid: transparent flammable plastic made in sheets from camphor and nitrocellulose, formerly used for cinematographic film
stroboscopic: visual phenomenon caused by aliasing that occurs when continuous rotational or other cyclic motion is represented by a series of short or instantaneous samples at a sampling rate close to the period of the motion.
Emulsion: light-sensitive coating for photographic films and plates, containing crystals of a silver compound dispersed in a medium such as gelatin.
Zoptic: revolutionary special effects, 3-D process
invented by cameraman Zorian Perisic, incorporating a
camera system and a projector with synchronized
zoom lenses, to create the illusion of movement in
depth
U-matic: refers to 3/4 inch magnetic tape, originally a
professional cassette tape format now being supplanted by new digital formats; a competing tape format was
the inferior 1/2" VHS or beta
Abby Singer: nickname for the second-to-last
production shot of the day; the name was attributed
to famed American production manager and assistant
film director Abby Singer between the 1950s-1980s
Geneva drive: gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation movement into intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel is usually equipped with a pin that reaches into a slot located in the other wheel that advances it by one step at a time
buyout: amount of money they give an actor to buy out the rights for them to be in that film or that commercial for that length of time that they want it
BEAUTY SHOT (screen): The last shot on a TV show, which is then used to run the credits
Squib: firework consisting of a tube filled with powder
(as a broken
firecracker)
that burns
with a fizzing
noise
Undercranking:
slowing down of the frame rate of a camera, by shooting at less
than the standard 24 fps, so that the captured image, when normally projected, will appear to be in
fast motion; often
used to produce a comic effect
Change-over cue: small dot,
oval
or mark on the top-right
corner of a film frame that
signaled to the projectionist
to
change over from one
projector
(Or film reel) to another (about every 15-20 minutes).
zoetrope: 19th-century optical toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of continuous motion
praxinoscope: animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. It was invented in France in 1877 by Charles-Émile Reynaud. Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder.
