Natural Transitions

What is a natural transition? What are the three different techniques that this video mentions? The wipe transition was the main topic of this video. A wipe transition is a technique used in post-production editing in which one shot replaces another by moving or "wiping" from one side of the frame to another. The wipe transition generally achieves two goals 1 a change of location, 2 a passage of time. Common objects you can use to indicate a change of location are cars, doors, people, trees, or bushes, For a passage of time it would be shadows, sunrises/sunsets, sky or clouds. Objects with the same shape can be used as natural transition. The swish pan transition is a camera move movement that literally whips the camera  back and fourth on it's x-axis to create a disorienting motion blur effect.

Dolly vs Zoom

What is the difference between zooming and dollying? What do dollying and trucking add to the shot? While zoom is created through a static camera change in focal length. A dolly is created by moving the actual camera closer or farther. (Usually on a set of tracks) a dolly can be created using a prime lens, that's because the lens doesn't need to do anything. While a zoom shot only adjusts the camera's focal length a dolly zoom moves the entire camera toward a subject.

The History of Frame Rates Pt. 2

60 hertz = 60 fields per second. It is created in a 60th of a second resulting in a full 30 frames per second. It was chosen over the air broadcasting because flashing the same frame on screen was not an option that was technologically feasible. Engineers were also more concerned about bandwidth, something they were trying to conserve with over the air broadcast. Another reason to conserve bandwidth and avoid flickering each frame would be interlaced. The introduction to color factored in 1948, the FCC (Federal Communication Communion) put a moratorium on new television broadcast licenses as it tried to figure out what to do with the newly available UHF spectrum. TV sets access died off while they tried figuring out what to do.

Horror Lighting Tutorial

They talk about their setups in this video and the main one that caught my attention was the staircase scene they created. They put up two lights the first and 150 watt then they do a light with the projector attachment inside and they put an M size steel gobo that replicates the look of a four panel window thus giving the audience the idea this is coming from somewhere natural its originating from within the scene. The second light they use is the softbox on top of it so its not barefaced and they stick the egg crate on top of it to provide some directionality in the living room we put their third and fourth case of which in this case mul richarchardson they use as much as the same in the  projector attachment to illuminate a back wall.
