#'''Group 1:''' What is depth of field?
#*Factors:
#**Camera-to-object distance
#**fstop (amount of light)
#**focal length
#*Define these terms and provides examples of when these techniques might be used:
#**Shallow focus
#**Deep focus
#**Pulling focus (What's another name for it?)
#'''Group 2:''' What is aspect ratio?
#*Define these terms
#**Academy Ratio: 1.33 : 1 or 4 : 3
#**Widescreen
#***Anamorphic 2.35 or 2.4 : 1
#***Masked 1.85 : 1
#***TV widescreen: 16 : 9 or 1.78 : 1
#*What are the aspect ratios of ''Day for Night'', ''Shakespeare in Love'' and ''Monster's Ball''?
#'''Group 3:''' What is aspect ratio? How does the aspect ratio of films shown in theaters differ from films presented on video? [Moved to chapter 1.] Explain these two processes for converting films to video:
#*Letterboxing
#*Pan-and-scan
#'''Group 4:''' What is focal length?
#*Define these focal-length terms and provides examples of when these techniques might be used:
#**Wide angle
#**Telephoto
#**''Variable'' focal length lens (what's another, more common name for it?)

==Cinematography and narrative==
In the ''Monster's Ball'' scene we viewed, what narrative functions does the cinematography serve? Be sure to consider deep/shallow focus, focus shifts and framing in the third shot.
