1st test BASIC SOUND and LIGHTING 1)

  1. PRODUCTION HEADSETS
    Headsets that connect technicians so that they can communicate.
  2. ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICE
    Hearing aide that amplifies the sound so that they can hear it better.
  3. AMPLITUDE
    *Measured in decibels *The volume or intensity of a sound * The height of a sound wave
  4. FREQUENCY
    *The rate at which a sound vibrates *The length of a wave
  5. REVERBERATION-
    The way the sound reflects off an object.(reflection)
  6. 2 DIFFERENT KINDS OF WAVES:
    • ANALOG - Grooves that are read (vibration)
    • DIGITAL REPRODUCTION - 000's and 111's (numbers being read)
  7. HERTZ-
    A unit of measurement used to identify the frequency of a sound.
  8. DECIBEL -
    A measurement of sound intensity (amplitude or loudness of a sound)
  9. DYNAMIC RANGE -
    The difference, measured in decibels, between the quietest and loudest portion of a segment of sound.
  10. ACOUSTICS -
    The effect of a sound as produced in an enclosed space. (How the space responds to the sound according to how the place is built)
  11. REINFORCEMENT-
    The electronic amplification of actors or musical instruments on stage. (Mics and speakers)
  12. FOLDBACK SYSTEM -
    A separate set of amplifiers and speakersplaced to direct their sound to the actors/singers so they can hear the sound themselves. (also known as monitors)
  13. PRODUCTION HEADSETS -
    PRODUCTION HEADSETS - Headsets that connect technicians so that they can communicate.
  14. ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICE -
    Hearing aide that amplifies the sound so that they can hear it better.
  15. MOTIVATED SOUND -
    Has a source (like a piano being playedon stage, or a hollow radio box with the illusion that it works)
  16. UNMOTIVATED SOUND -
    Has no apparent source (a pianobeing played somewhere off stage; music being played with no apparent source)
  17. OPTICAL REPRODUCTION
    - A CD or DVD burner. It is called“optical” because it’s a laser that it burning it (light).
  18. EFFECTS -
    Music or sounds that are prerecorded and played backduring the scene.
  19. DAW -
    Digital Audio workstations (your sound board; your computer)
  20. 3 FUNCTIONS OF SOUND-
    • *Evoking(setting) atmosphere or mood
    • *Reinforcing the action
    • *Commenting on the action
