The Viewfinder
The Film Chamber
The Motor
The Film gate and claw
The Shutter

6. Exposure
Exposure is determined by intensity of light that pass through the lens and the time each frame is exposed to the light.
Exposure = Intensity X Time
It is controlled by aperture(T-stop) and (camera speed)Frame-rate
Other factures that play a role in determining exposure are:
Film speed, Lighting, Filter, Shutter Angle

7. Aperture
The intensity of the light is controlled by aperture. The aperture of the camera is like the iris of the eye.

8. Film Speed
A fast stock or high film speed refers to a film’s sensitivity to light. The higher the film speed, the more sensitive it is to light. ASA number
Typical film speed:
50D -100T and below: Slow
200T-320T: Medium
500T-800T: Fast

9. Camera Speed of Film Rate
Standard Speed: 24fps
Slow motion: speed faster than 24fps
Fast motion:
Undercranking: speed slower than 24fps
Time-lapse: With significantly slower speeds, time is proportionally sped up.
Animation.

10. The Variable Shutter Narrowing the angle reduces the exposure time.
Exposure time (shutter speed):
1/50second in 180˚shutter angle.
For achieving the selected f-stops or depth of field
In-camera fades and dissolves

11. Motion Picture Film Characteristics
Film Size:
65mm: Optimum image quality and effects works
35mm: Theatrical release and broadcast television
16mm: Transfer to video for broadcast television and student filmmaking
8mm: Student filmmaking and special looks

12. Aspect Ratio 1.33 :1- academy or standard (4:3)
1.66:1- European widescreen
1.85:1- American widescreen (16:9)
2.35:1- Anamorphic projected image (Super 35mm)

13. Light Measurements
Incident light meters measure the intensity of illumination coming from the lamp and express the reading in f-stops, based on the film speed and camera speed or shutter speed input.
Reflected light meters measure the light reflected from the subject and yield a reading in lumens per square foot
