Matte shots can also be done as Opticals. Matte Shot – A double exposure that does not meld two images on top of each other, but masks off part of the frame for one exposure and the opposite area for another exposure. A matte box often has filter holders for square glass filters. Matte Box – A square shade that goes in front of the lens, usually supported by a pair of rods that attach to the camera.

Mark – 1.: The clapping of the clapstick to create a Sync Mark (1.) for the shot. For editing, all the sound, location sound and additional sound, is transferred to mag stock, where it is run on an editing machine in tandem with picture, one frame of picture equaling one frame of sound. Basically, it is sound recording tape that is the same size as film, complete with perforations. Mag Stock, Mag Track or Magnetic Film – Mag track is a piece of film that is coated with an emulsion of magnetic oxide instead of silver halides.
One camera will typically have two or three magazines which can be loaded ahead of time. Magazine – An attachment to a camera with one or two light-proof chambers that hold 400 or 1,000 feet of film. When in macro the distances on the focusing ring no longer apply.
