 A montage is a series of images or videos are that are put together to create and showcase a continuous sequence or even a story. Montages allow directors to communicate a large amount of information to an audience in a shorter amount of time (like the growth of a character) or a complex message in a much more simplified manner (the tennis player and the baby).  Directors are able to create montages by juxtaposing different shots, and/or intertwining multiple stories in a single narrative. Montages are often used to provoke an emotional response from the audience and heightens the theme and response of either a particular scene or the entire film.  Montage Example ( Parasite):

Progressive scans are photos or videos that are listed with the letter "p". These would be videos with the resolution of 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Progressive scans display both the even and odd scan lines at the same time.  Interlace scans are photos or videos that are listed with the letter "i". These would be videos with the resolution of 480i or 1080i. Interlaced scans display the even and odd scan lines separately. First the even lines are drawn on screen, and then the odd lines. The two fields combined make up the frame.    Progressive scanning is important because the output much more smoother and realistic than interlaced scanning. Quality is much more clearer because there is no intentional blurring needed in order to cover up the odd and even lines. Progressive scans offer clearer and faster results for higher resolution frames.  Interlaced scanning is important because it provides a video signal with twice the display refresh rate for a line count. The higher...

 

 The focal length of a lens is the optical distance from the point where the light meets inside the lens to the camera's sensor.  The lower the focal length number the wider angle (zoomed out) view one can attain. The higher the mm number of the lens, them more narrow (zoomed in) the picture/subject is going to be.  One needs to use a lower mm focal length if they are trying to get everything into the picture, like a landscape, where you need to capture everything instead of just the river or just a rock. A higher mm focal lens is used when there is only one subject in the picture that needs to be focused on, like a portrait, or an athlete playing a sport.  Low and High focal lengths (DSLR pictures): Frames per second or FPS is a rate at which back to back images called frames appear in a display and form moving imagery.  Capturing images at a higher frame ensures a higher level of detail and clarity for the amount of motion captured. A higher frame rate also pr...

 White balance helps the camera "balance its colors" because it cannot automatically compensate for different color temperature like a human being does.   Color temperature is measured in kelvins (K). Color temperatures over 5000 K appear in a bluish tone and are called cool colors, whereas color temperatures between 2700 - 3000 K are called warm colors and appear in a yellow tone.  A photographer should know how to change the white balance of their camera because understanding it is pivotal to producing images with colors that are the closest to real life. White balance can enhance photos in a significant way and having the right color temperature can make sure you get a good photograph.  DSLR examples (personal pictures):

 ISO (international organization for standardization) is a setting that controls the amount of light the camera lets in. The ISO controls how dark or how light a picture is going to be.  A lower ISO yields a darker, but sharper picture, whereas a picture with a higher ISO value, is much brighter, but it also has a lot of noise and grain which can affect the quality of the picture.  It is better to use a low ISO when there is ample lighting in the room, or if you are outside in order to get a clear picture with little to no noise. A higher ISO can be used when it is dark or if the lighting is low and there is no possibility to have a long exposure.   ISO (personal pictures):  100 ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 ISO 3200 ISO 6400 ISO 12800 ISO In these picture examples above, we can see that as the ISO increases, the more darker and grainy the picture gets.    Just like how digital cameras use ISO, video cameras use gain to amplify the intensity an...

 An aperture is a hole in the front of the camera through which light enters. Like the pupil of the human eye, aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera.   A larger aperture lets in more light, which makes a picture brighter. In the same way, a smaller aperture lets in less light, which makes the picture darker.  Aperture also affects the depth of field of a picture or video. A smaller aperture or f-stop, puts focus only on the foreground or background, blurring everything else. The larger the aperture gets, the more focus that is put on the entire picture instead of isolating just the foreground or background.  The right aperture depends upon what type of a photograph one is trying to take. If the picture involves a portrait or and an object that needs to be focused upon and the rest of background can be ignored, a smaller aperture is useful. And if the image is a landscape where every single detail needs to be clearly seen and identified, a ...
