BLOCKS [Film Technology]

BLOCKS

[Film Technology] 

(Risers, Step-blocks, apple boxes).In studio small raised areas may be produced by placing a series of block units side by side. They are hollow wooden shells and come in many handy sizes from around 6in x 1ft x 1ft to a 2ft cube.

BLOCKING OUT REHEARSAL [Film Technology]

BLOCKING OUT REHEARSAL 

[Film Technology]

(stopping run through rehearsal also). The first camera rehearsal. For some production directors this rehearsal is conducted from the studio floor, watching mobile picture monitors. Each scene is `blocked and run’ in turn, first going through the action slowly, and correcting the accuracies as they arise, then a run-through confirming co-ordination and timing.

BLOCK AND TACKLE [Film Technology]

BLOCK AND TACKLE 

[Film Technology]

A scenery stabilizing device. Stability requirements range from simply ensuring that- the construction will not fall over to permitting people to lean or walk on them. Hoists have generally supplemented earlier block and tackle facilities. They provide safety suspension for heavy or unbalanced scenic pieces, including high walls, ceiling, roofs, trees and columns. They can be used, too, to hang light weight scenic dressing and scenic equipment (e.g. Drapes, chandeliers, branches, shadow gobos)

BLEACH [Film Technology]

BLEACH

[Film Technology] 

Rolls of exposed film staples together and attached to the end of the film already on the processing machine. Film then travels over guide rollers through numerous tanks for the pre-bath, backing removal, developer, stop bath, bleach, fixing and stabilizer, interspersed with washes to avoid chemical transferring from one bath to the next. See processing and   processing machine. In the final stages the film may be chemically hardened, before passing through drying cabinets and spooled into each customer’s rolls. The bleach solution contains bromide, together with an oxidizing agent ferric cyanide or persulphate whose function is to reconvert the developed silver back to silver bromide.  Persulphate is less damaging ecologically, but requires an additional bleach acceleration in order to work effectively. In the bleaching process, ferric canide is reduced to ferrocyanide.

BLACK LEVEL [Film Technology]

BLACK LEVEL 

[Film Technology]

(set-up, sit) Adjusting camera channel black level moves the picture tones down or up the tonal scale,  the effect being most noticeable in darker tones. Sat down (batting down), all dark tones clipped to black, light tones down scaled (unless compensated for by video gain increase). No longer subject tones become visible. Normalist, sat up. No dark greys or black in the pictures; lightest tones may be merged. Cut off by the white clipper limit. No lower subject tones become visible through sit up.  Technical term for the part of the video wave from representing black in the picture. Considering the video monochrome signal. To make the scanning pattern into a picture the strength of the beam must be varied (modulated) by a picture signal. At a minimum video strength(its black level) the beam is cut-off, and the screen appears black.

BLACK AND WHITE FILM SEPARATION [Film Technology]

BLACK AND WHITE FILM SEPARATION 

[Film Technology]

Black and white stock used to make separate blue duplicate positive, green duplicate positive and red duplicate positives from which colour duplicate negatives may be made on colour intermediate stock or to make black and white master positive from a colour negative, from which in turn black and white duplicate negative may be made for black and white printing.

BLACK AND WHITE REVERSAL FILM DEVELOPING [Film Technology]

BLACK AND WHITE REVERSAL FILM DEVELOPING 

[Film Technology]

The film first passes through a normal black and white developer.  This results in a developed  silver image in the exposed areas of the film, while unexposed areas remain as silver bromide.  After a stop bath the film passes into a bleach solution, which contains oxidizing agent to reconvert the silver into the ionized form and dissolve it.  A cleaning bath removes residual deposit of oxidized bleach, after which the  film is left with a  residue  of silver halide in inverse proportion to the original negative image.  After exposing on fogging the film with white light, the film passes into a second developer which converts all the silver halide into metallic silver.  After fixing and wash, there remains a silver image in the originally-unexposed areas, so that darken areas of the film correspond to shadows, with increasing exposure resulting in lighter areas of the image; a direct copy of the original.
