Small changes in position, recorded frame by frame, create the illusion of movement.Īspect ratio: The relationship of the frame’s width to its height. Also called camera angle.Īnimation: any process whereby artificial movement is created by photographing a series of drawings (see also cel animation), objects, or computer images one by one. The camera lens takes in a wide field of view and squeezes it onto the frame, and a similar projector lens un-squeezes the image onto a wide theater screen.Īngle of framing: The position of the frame in relation to the subject it shows: above it, looking down ( a high angle) horizontal, on the same level ( a straight-on-angle) below it, looking up (a low angle). In the original ratio, the frame was 1 1/3 times as wide as it was high (1.33:1) later the width was normalized at 1.85 times the height (1.85:1).Īerial perspective: A cue for suggesting depth in the image by presenting objects in the distance less distinctly than those in the foreground.Īnamorphic lens: A lens for making widescreen films using regular Academy ratio frame size.

Abstract Form: A type of filmic organization in which the parts relate to one another through repetition and variation of such visual qualities as shape, color, rhythm, and direction of movement.Īcademy ratio: The standardization shape of the film frame established by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
