Dolly zoom, depth of field, leading lines, golden hour — the names of camera and staging. — 20 entries
Shallow depth of field얕은 심도
Opening the aperture wider (a smaller f-number) blurs everything outside the focal plane faster — the subject stays sharp while the background melts away.
How bokeh forms보케의 원리
Points of light outside the focal plane spread into round (or polygon-shaped) discs that trace the aperture's shape — the farther from focus, the bigger the disc.
Leading lines리딩 라인
Arranging lines in the frame — a road, a railing, a shadow — so they converge on one point, pulling the eye straight to the subject.
Golden hour골든 아워
The short window around sunrise and sunset when the sun sits low on the horizon, casting soft, warm orange-gold light.
Dolly zoom돌리 줌
Dollying the camera back while narrowing the field of view keeps the subject the same size on screen, but stretches the background around it. Named for its debut in Hitchcock's Vertigo.
Rack focus랙 포커스
Shifting focus from one subject to another mid-shot to deliberately redirect the viewer's attention.
Dutch angle더치 앵글
Deliberately tilting the camera off the horizontal to put unease and tension into a frame — despite the name, it has nothing to do with the Netherlands.
Shot sizes샷 사이즈
The standard framing steps that decide how much of the subject fills the frame — from extreme close-up to wide shot.
The 180-degree rule180도 법칙
Keep the camera on one side of the imaginary axis between two subjects across every cut, so their left/right positions never flip and confuse the viewer.
Tracking shot트래킹 샷
The camera physically moves alongside the subject, so the subject stays steady in frame while the background streams past.
Low-key lighting로우키 조명
Lighting dominated by shadow rather than fill — a single strong source with almost no fill light, producing dramatic, high-contrast shading.
High-key lighting하이키 조명
Multiple soft lights filling the scene evenly, leaving almost no visible shadow — bright and low in contrast.
Three-point lighting삼점 조명
The classic three-light rig — key, fill, and back — that models a subject in three dimensions and separates it from the background.
Long exposure장노출
Leaving the shutter open for an extended time so moving light accumulates into a streaking trail within a single frame.
Tilt-shift틸트-시프트
Blurring the top and bottom of the frame while a thin horizontal band stays sharp — making a real scene read as a toy miniature.
Color grading컬러 그레이딩
Reshaping a shot's color and tone in post to set the scene's mood. The signature look: shadows pushed toward teal, highlights pushed toward orange.
Film aspect ratios영화 화면비
The frame's width-to-height ratio. Standards differ by era and genre — 1.33 (Academy), 1.85 (flat), 2.39 (scope).
Lens flare렌즈 플레어
An optical artifact from a strong light source bouncing between the lens's internal glass elements — now often added on purpose as a stylistic flourish.
Motion parallax모션 패럴랙스
As the viewpoint shifts sideways, near objects sweep past fast and distant ones barely move — a depth cue the brain reads even with one eye closed.
Symmetry framing대칭 프레이밍
Composing the frame as a left-right (or top-bottom) mirror image for a sense of order and formal balance — a subject placed right on the axis naturally holds the eye.
