Record 1 2005-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cinematography
DEF

A positive print made from a negative or internegative on special film stock.

CONT

The positive is produced from the negative and accurately represents dark and light. The fine grain master positive(also known as the interpositive) is a positive version of the camera negative made for duplication purposes. It is an intermediate element and has a very low overall contrast between blacks and whites. Because prints increase in contrast with each duplication, the negatives made from this positive will contain the true blacks and whites from the original camera negative. It is used to create duplicate negatives. These duplicate negatives will then be used to make projection prints. These projection prints, or release prints, are the final prints used for screening and distribution.

DEF

Chambre photographique utilisée dans le procédé image par image.

CONT

[...] au moins quatre ou cinq masques sont nécessaires pour réaliser un circuit intégré ... Il est donc difficilement concevable de réaliser directement, avec cet appareil, un masque d'un diamètre classique de deux pouces avec la précision maximale. Mieux vaut ne réaliser qu'un motif élémentaire qui ne fait en général que quelques millimètres carrés, puis faire un masque complet sur lequel les motifs élémentaires sont juxtaposés par photo à l'aide d'un photorépéteur.
