1.  What is the Gestalt Theory? The Gestalt Theory proposes that the human brain is naturally inclined to group items and to see and describe them as single objects. Emergence- when the human forms an object from a pattern Reification - happens when our brain creates shape from negative space Multistability- occurs when the interpretation of an ambiguous image jumps back and forth, as it does with the Rubin's vase image Invariance- the ability of the human brain to recognize an object, even when viewed in different conditions 2.  What is the Golden Ratio?   The Golden Ratio is also referred to as the Divine Proportion. It is calculated based upon a sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence. The Golden Ratio enables people to work out the divine proportions that occur both in nature and in art. 

Crane : is similar to tilt, but it affords greater range of movement. Dolly/Truck : a camera on wheels; a Steadicam may be used to achieve similar shots, such as camera in, pull back to reveal, truck with, or push in. Pan : a steady horizontal movement across a scene. Steadicam : a piece of equipment used for steadying a handheld camera, which is attached to a shock-absorbing arm supported by a harness worn by the camera operator. Tilt : a steady vertical movement across a scene. Zoom : a stationary camera that uses a zoom lens to enlarge or diminish the image within the frame. Tracking or Follow Shot : camera movement call that is an indication for the camera to follow the action; tracks are laid on uneven terrain to make the shot possible.

B-roll : disguises the elimination of unwanted content, such as stammering, uncomfortable pauses, or unintentional movement by the principles or background performers Cutaway : used as a buffer between shots in order to add interest or information or to help with the editing process Keyframe : captures the main actions of a movement which is usually the beginning, middle, and end Pick-up : minor shots that are recorded after the fact to supplement previously shot footage Reshoot : the resulting footage when an entire scene has been redone Reverse shot : a transposition of a camera move, which provides a point of view that is 180 degrees apart from the original shot Stock : consists of previously recorded and often archived shots of common events used to add interest or information or used to disguise elimination of unwanted content 'tweener : "in-betweener"; the tireless animator who draws the transitional frames "in between" the key frames
