I just wanted to check in and let you know I am still here. It's just been a slow couple of days and the class schedules have been screwy so I haven't had a chance to blog. Yesterday we went to the library to find some alternative sources for our topics. Unfortuanatly the library is like a giant maze and I couldn't seem to find books on my topic. Hopefully I'll have more luck checking some online databases!. I'll keep you guys posted on any new info hopefully tomorrow.
So Stay Tuned!

Key Terms
- Practical Site- The use of a real world set such as a house, office building, street etc. rather than a set built expressly for the film. While faster to get up and running a practical set imposes many constraints on the production company such as increased difficulty in blocking and lighting a scene.
- Shot- A single continuous take, filmed in a single session from one camera setup. The basic grammatical unit of the language of film, a shot may range from a single frame taken from a fixed position to a setup involving complex camera movement.
- Sequence- A number of scenes linked together by time, location, or narrative continuity to form a unified episode in a motion picture. It is often likened to a chapter in a book, the scene being the equivalent of a paragraph and the shot the equivalent of a sentence. Traditionally, but not necessarily, a sequence begins with a fade-in and ends with a fade-out or some other optical transitional device.
- Rushes- print or video tape that is reviewed on the set to see how the scene is progressing and how it was blocked and lit
- Cast-select participants for performance: to choose somebody for a particular role in a drama, dance, or other performance, or choose people for all the roles in a production
- Editing-cut material: to remove material from something such as a publication, broadcast item, recording, or movie, e.g. because it is lengthy or offensive
- Writer-the person who wrote a specific text or document
- Producer- an organizer and administrator of the making of a movie, broadcast, or recording, or the staging of a play
- Director-a supervisor of the actual making of a movie or television program
- Scene- a short section of a play, movie, opera, or work of literature that presents a single event
- Screenplay- film script: scenario for a film to follow
- Post-Production-final production stage: the final stage in the making of a recording, film, or television program that includes editing, sound dubbing, and adding special effects
- Preproduction- the plans and activities, e.g. those relating to finance, equipment, and personnel, that precede the production phase of a project, especially in the entertainment and manufacturing industries
