PICK OF THE WEEK

Bellflower (2011)- Two drinking, smoking college pals build muscle cars & modified weapons hoping that Armageddon happens. Their goal? To rule the roads just like in their all-time favorite film "Mad Max". That's enough for me...I'm in.

Film Slang

Spritzer- No... it is not a carbonated wine cocktail on set. A spritzer is a pump/spray bottle of water used for misting an actor's skin to make it appear wet or sweaty. It is a way of controlling the "wet look" for continuity of shots.

Film Terms


Ambience or Room Tone- pertains to the pervading atmosphere of a place. (Often more of a psychological, rather than technical description)  Ambience is widely used as a synonym for ambient sound. Ambient sound consists of noises present in the environment.   In film and video sound production term Ambience usually means the background sound accompanying a scene.   Ambience is used for background sounds.  Sound recorded without dialogue on the location or set to be used to bridge gaps in the soundtrack. Each location has a distinctive ambient sound that can sometimes be difficult to match in the postproduction studio.
