ABSTRACT

In order to keep things simple, we are, for the most part, going to try and use generic terms for discussion and explanation. For instance, the term “ motion picture ” will be used to represent any work, show, project, or program that is made up of individual images that, when displayed to our eyes very rapidly, appear to move. The term camera will refer to any device that can record these moving images — whether it is emulsion fi lm, video tape, or direct to hard drive. The terms camera person or camera operator will refer to anyone, man or woman, who operates the camera that is recording the moving images.
