20. Analog vs. Digital Recording

21. Analog Recording Standard analog video signals are designed to be broadcast and displayed on a television screen. To accomplish this, a scheme specifies how the incoming video signal gets converted to the individual pixel values of the display. Analog is the measurement/time it takes to complete of a full wave length. The level of an analog video signal varies continuously (changing from instant to instant) to record the image or sound

22. Digital Recording A recording method that repeatedly samples the original continuous signal and records the numerical values of the samples, instead of the signal itself.

23. Frames per second (fps)

24. The number of individual frames (pictures) displayed on video in a second. The NTSC and high definition standard is 30. Film is shown at 24 frames per second.

25. High Definition

26. New digital TV broadcast with at least 720 scan lines with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

27. Aspect Ratio

28. The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. The ratio of the width of a TV screen to the height. NTSC video is 4:3 (4 units wide to 3 units high) High definition TV is 16:9.

29. Linear editing

30. Reel to reel editing - uses video tape as the editing medium.

31. Non-linear editing

32. The video and audio information are stored in a computer hard disk. Allows random access to shots

33. NTSC - National Television System Committee (used in the U.S. and Japan)

34. Refers to composite TV signal used from 1941 to the present - 525 scan lines displayed. Being replaced with the better high definition standard.

35. Sound track

36. The audio portion of a video recording. In editing, it is shows as the audio portion of the project on the timeline. In the film industry it refers strictly to the musical score.

37. Special effects

38. Buttons and controls on a video switcher that control effects such as Wipe patterns, chroma key, joystick positioner, etc

39. Time code

40. Specially generated address code that marks each video frame with a number.

41. Timeline

42. In non-linear editing, shows where individual clips of video can be placed in order.

43. Progressive scan is displaying

44. lines consecutively from the top to the bottom of the screen

45. Crossing the line: refers to?

46. filming an action shot from two different sides of the street, field, or court

47. Basic film editing is done _____________

48. in the video camera while creating the film

49. News Package

50. News Package – A Roll

51. Video that contains a set of shots (such as long and medium shots) with related audio. A sound bite will often be taken from this video. A sound bite is a brief portion of someone's on-camera statement.

52. News Package – B Roll

53. Video that contains different but related scenes. These shots may be cutaways or close-ups of the same scene.

54. News Package – Cut-a-ways

55. A shot that is thermatically connected with the overall event. When inserted between the jump producing shots, will camouflage the position shift. A cut-away is used to facilitate continuity.

56. News Package – Logging

57. A listing of all shots on a tape, labeling those that are good (OK) and those that are no good (NG). These takes should be listed with an in and out points on the time code.
