Photography
This early photographic device used a pinhole to project an image upside-down.
What is a camera obscura?
This style of animation requires taking many still photographs while making incremental changes to objects between those captures.
What is stop motion?
This is the amount of time that an image is exposed to light.
What is shutter speed?
This angle of shot will make a subject look more powerful.
What is a low angle?
A horizontal camera rotation.
What is a pan?
The first recorded photograph features unnatural shadows due to the camera's extended _________.
What is shutter speed?
This early animation device utilized painted glass slides to project images onto a screen.
What is a magic lantern?

What is aperture?
This shot size reveals the entire body of a subject, head to toe, with them filling the height of the frame.
What is a full shot?
What is dollying?
This light sensitive layer of film is composed of grains of silver nitrate.
What is emulsion?
This early animation device used a sequence of 12 looping images spinning within a drum of mirrors?
What is a praxinoscope?
The amount of your image that is in focus is referred to as ____________.
What is depth of field?
This compositional trick divides the frame into 9 even boxes, and asks you to place subjects at the intersections of those boxes.
What is the rule of thirds?
Changing the focus in the middle of a shot.
What is a rack focus?
This type of camera is abbreviated to DSLR?

What is lead room?

This optical illusion allows for the brain to retain an image for a split-second longer than an eye perceives it.
What is persistence of vision?
List two different ways that you can create a shallower focus in your image.
Increase focal length. Open up Aperture. Move closer to your subject.
This compositional technique draws a creative comparison between objects of different sizes.
What is forced perspective?
A camera movement toward or away from a subject while changing the focal length to keep the subject the same size.
