180-degree rule - ANSWER✔✔-Principle wherein the camera is kept on one side of an imaginary 180-

know who is looking at whom in a scene.


actor - ANSWER✔✔-A person who plays a character in a film or play, interpreting a character that a

writer has created, under the guidance of a director.


allegory - ANSWER✔✔-A metaphoric, symbolic story or passage in a story that tries to teach the

audience a lesson by association, such as a parable, fable, or fairy tale, often with physical things

representing abstract ideas. In films, this often means that something in the plot stands for something

else in the real world.


antagonist - ANSWER✔✔-A character who works against the protagonist in a story.


archetype - ANSWER✔✔-A recognizable type of character, motif, or plot formula that expresses aspects

of human nature considered universal and timeless, and that has been used by storytellers over many

revivals of classics, and non-mainstream movies. Art house movies are typically made on small budgets

and tend to be serious, thoughtful fare.

aspect ratio - ANSWER✔✔-The ratio of a picture's width to its height, determining the shape of the

rectangular screen; the most common aspect ratios for movies are 1.33 (4:3) for standard-definition

television and pre-1953 films, 1.85 for post-1953 non-anamorphic widescreen films, and 2.35 to 2.4 for

anamorphic CinemaScope widescreen films. A few other aspect ratios that have had significant usage by

theatrical films at various times include 1.18, 1.66, 1.75, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.55. High-definition television

uses a 1.78 (16:9) aspect ratio.


audition - ANSWER✔✔-The process of an actor "trying out" for a role, performing short scenes to let a

director or casting director see how well he or she can do; an audition can be accomplished either by

submitting tapes or by trying out in person.


auteur theory - ANSWER✔✔-A theory of film criticism, popularized in France during the 1950s, that

treats the director of a film as its primary author. In certain cases, a particularly influential producer or

screenwriter may also be considered an auteur filmmaker.


auteurist approach - ANSWER✔✔-Analysis that looks at a film as part of its director's overall body of

work instead of as a single entity.


automated dialogue replacement (ADR) - ANSWER✔✔-Computer-based post-production process for re-

recording dialogue that for some reason is unsatisfactory.


backstory - ANSWER✔✔-Elements of a film's story that do not appear in the plot. Actors often try to

imagine what happened to their characters before the plot began, creating an elaborate backstory

(which may or may not be based on the writer's original ideas), and may research similar real-life people

to help them understand a character's motivations.
