Term
What do they do?
Definition
LIGHT BALANCE, COLOR CORRECTION
Term
What are our 2 strategies to prevent overexposure in
HDV?
Definition

Term
How do we soften our HDV image during close-ups?
Definition
DIFFUSION AS CLOSE TO TALENT
DIFFUSION/FILTER ON CAM
IN CAMERA SETTINGS
Term
What filter did we use in this class to soften the face but
hopefully leave some sparkle in the eye?

Term
What does a filter factor of 2 mean?

PAST THE “BOX”
Term
If the same f5.6 incident light illuminates a black card,
an18% gray card, and a white card, what would the spot
reading of each of the cards be like and why?
Definition
F5.6 FOR 18% GRAY
F2.8 FOR BLACK
F11 FOR WHITE
Term
What are some of the things an 18% gray card represents?
Definition
ZONE 5
IRIS SETTING
AVG OF LIGHT BOUNCE
(½ LIGHT/DARK)
Term
If your film or digital camera has a latitude of 6 stops evenly
divided, what would be the range of that latitude if your iris
setting is at an f5.6?
Definition
F2 – F16
Term
What type of meter readings do you take if you’re using
the Zone System?
Definition
SPOT READING
Term
If you paint a big Zone System scale on a wall and light each
Zone evenly, what are 2 ways to find the iris setting for the
perfect photo of it?
Definition
FIND ZONE 5
Term
In that photo the iris setting represents which zone?
Definition
ZONE 5
Term
How can we prove this?
Definition
SPOT READING ON ZONE 5
Term
If we took a spot meter reading of an object, and we got
an f11 reading, where would we place the f11 on our Zone
System “slide rule” if we wanted the object to come back
looking like Zone 5 gray?
Definition
ABOVE ZONE 5
Term
Where would we place that f11 if we wanted the object to
look like Zone 8 white?
Definition
ABOVE ZONE 8
Term
What would we shoot our photo at in both examples?
Definition
F11 & F4 (RESPECTIVELY)
Term
When we are using our spot meter to find a “reflectance
reference” in our set, we are looking for an f-stop that will
be 3 things. What are those 3 things, and how do they help
us in cinematography?
Definition
ZONE 5 OBJECT, IRIS SETTING, LATITUDE DIVIDE LINE
Term
What does “placement and fall” mean?
Definition
PLACE ON TOP OF ZONE & LATITUDE ACCORDINGLY
Term
If you are unable to match f-stops between a wide shot and
a close-up, what can you match so that the lighting in your
wide shot will edit nicely with the lighting in your close-up?
Definition
CONTRAST RATIOS
KEY+FILL / FILL = CONTRAST RATIO
Term
If you are “racing the sun” during an afternoon exterior
scene, what do you do with your talent’s light as the sky gets
darker so that the brightness ratios will match for all the
shots in your entire scene?
Definition
SCRIM DOWN & OPEN IRIS
Term
Can this same strategy be applied to a day interior with
a large window if the sky is in the shot?
Definition
YES… SCRIM DOWN & OPEN IRIS

Definition
HIGH & ¾ BEHIND (CREATES “KICKER”)

Definition
3’ IN FRONT OF LIGHT
Term
What 2 ways can we lower the intensity of our Xenon?

Term
There will be 3 questions about some of the movies we
