2. Describe the relationship between the camera and reflected light patterns. Choose the correct shutter speed for the different frames per second options. Create an exemplification of the persistence of vision concept. © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley 2

4. Imperfect Imitation • A camera is an imperfect imitation of the human eye. • A camera sees by means of a lens which gathers reflected light. © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley 4

6. Film • The camera lens directs the pattern of light into a number of sensitive surfaces. • Still photography recorded light patterns on light-sensitive film. © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley 6

11. Movie Camera • Take images at a faster speed and more often. • When the number of frames recorded per second are projected at the same rate it gives the illusion of continuous movement. • The brain fills in the gaps between the frames. • Persistence of vision. 11 © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley

13. Sensor • In digital cameras image sensor are either charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). 13 © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley

15. Viewfinder to TV • The process is then reversed to recreate the original image. • Persistence of vision causes the viewer to perceive the frames as continuous movement. 15 © 2021 Copyright Troy Tarpley
