8mm Cinematography Terminology

We are compiling a dictionary of audiovisual industry terms (called
Hollywords) and are looking for individuals interested in contributing
to the dictionary project (fact checking existing entries, submitting
new entries, acting as subject-matter editors, etc.).

The goal of the Hollywords dictionary is to provide a single,
authoritative resource for industry professionals and enthusiasts who
encounter terms from outside their normal area of expertise. In this
case, terms related to cinematography (camera, lighting, film,
aesthetics, etc.) -- terms of general cinematography and those unique
to the 8mm format. Our focus is on those cinematography terms that the
non-cinematographer might encounter/should really know. In other
words, cinematography for a director, producer, actor, accountant,
etc. Looking at it from the other direction, we'll also provide
directing, producing, and other terms for use by cinematographers. In
the end, our humble goal is to foster free, open, and accurate
communication across the various specializations that make up the
audiovisual industry as a whole. (More information about the
Hollywords project can be found at www.hollyword.org, or you can write
us at info.DeleteThis@hollyword.org.)

If you're passionate about cinematography and want to share your
expertise with others, then we would love to hear from you. In
addition to providing a positive contribution to the audiovisual
industry, contributors will also be acknowledged in the print
publication and will earn a share of the publishing royalties.

Thank you for your time. We hope to hear from you soon.
