Across
  1. 2. scene is flooded with light (creates bright and open-looking scene)
  2. 6. visuals or sound that the filmmaker did not create by his or herself--old movie clips, news broadcasts, home movies, newspaper headlines, etc. These can be moving or still images.
  3. 7. the narrator's comments written out and flashed on the screen for the audience to read
  4. 9. documentaries in which the filmmaker tries to minimize his or her presence as much as possible, acting as a "fly on the wall." The filmmaker does not make commentary and lets reality unfold.
  5. 10. a shot of a person looking, then a cut to what s/he saw, followed by a cut back for a reaction
  6. 11. either third-person narration delivered by someone who does not reveal his/herself by name or by appearance or first-person narration ("I") by someone who identifies his/herself (often the filmmaker)
  7. 13. an image fades into another (can create connection between two images)
  8. 16. contains all the original footage (audio and visual) captured by the filmmaker (video and still images)
  9. 17. written information that appears on screen, added by the filmmaker in post-production, ex. subtitles, intertitles, identifications/lower thirds, charts, infographics, and graphs.
  10. 20. photographs are panned/zoomed to create movement on still photography
Down
  1. 1. true story, with real people, produced to inform an audience about an issue or topic
  2. 3. any sound (music, voices, sound effects) that could not logically be heard at the time of recording and has been added by the filmmaker afterward (soundtrack, voiceovers, SFX, etc.)
  3. 4. video that enhances or tells the story. Commonly used to add dimension to a story, ex. if a person is talking about a new school, the B-roll would be video of the new school. Action video used to illustrate what's being said in the audio track of a video story.
  4. 5. editing together several different types of shots, each of short duration, for a particular effect; typically will include visuals and music
  5. 8. a synopsis detailing the overall topic of your film. Outlines the main topic (including sub-topics) and describes your vision for the structuring of the film and telling your story.
  6. 12. documentaries in which the filmmaker involves herself in the on-screen action, often through interviews and narration. The filmmaker is interacting with the subjects of the film often in interviews. There is a careful framing of reality in front of the camera. Nobody acts "normal" while being filmed.
  7. 14. documentaries that are intended to inform and/or persuade the audience about an issue. The filmmaker presents the film as truth. There is a superficial inclusion of the other side to reinforce the filmmaker's own view.
  8. 15. scene is flooded with shadows and darkness (creates suspense/suspicion)
  9. 18. any sound (music, dialogue) that could be logically heard by someone within the film, at the time of recording
  10. 19. movement into action that has happened previously; often signified by a change in music, voiceover narration or a dissolve
