R

roll

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)

the rotation of camera around the axis that runs from the lens to the subject. This is not common because its effect usually disorients the viewer.


rotoscope

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)
a machine that projects live-action motion picture film frames one by one onto a drawing pad so that an animator can trace the figures in each frame. The aim is to achieve more realistic movement in an animated cartoon.

rushes

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)
prints of takes that are made immediately after a day's shooting so that they can be examined before the next day's shooting begins.

S

scene

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)
a segment in a narrative film that takes place in one time and space (or that uses crosscutting to show two or more simultaneous actions).

screen direction

(Last edited: Tuesday, 30 July 2013, 5:41 PM)

the right-left relationship in a scene, set up in an establishing shot and determined by the position of characters and objects in the frame, by the directions of movement, and by the character's eyelines. Continuity editing will attempt to keep screen direction consistent between shots. See axis of action, eyeline match, 180-degree system.
