Practice question · Match the pairs
Match each term to what it names.
- Enquadrament
- Fora de camp
- Aspect ratio
- Viewfinder coverage
- Space beyond the edges that the picture nonetheless implies
- The proportion of the frame's width to its height
- The share of the recorded image the photographer actually saw
- The decision about where the four edges fall
Hints
- Two terms are about the boundary itself, two about what it contains or omits.
- One of the four is a percentage rather than a place.
Show the answer
- Enquadrament → The decision about where the four edges fall
- Fora de camp → Space beyond the edges that the picture nonetheless implies
- Aspect ratio → The proportion of the frame's width to its height
- Viewfinder coverage → The share of the recorded image the photographer actually saw
Why
Keeping these four apart prevents most of the confusion in this part of the syllabus. Framing is a decision, off-frame space is a consequence of it, aspect ratio is a constraint on it that the format imposes, and coverage is the gap between the decision and the result.
