    Study Notes

    Computer Hardware Components

    • CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the most important component of a computer
    • RAM (Random Access Memory) stores data
    • HDD (Hard Disk Drive) stores data, such as photos
    • Motherboard acts as a home for all other components
    • Video and sound cards help the user interact with the computer
    • Network Adapter improves the user experience
    • SDD (Solid State Drive) is more reliable than HDD

    Computer Concepts

    • Input devices receive signals or data, examples include mouse, keyboard
    • Output devices send signals or data, examples include monitor, printer, speaker
    • A computer performs four main functions: input, store information, process, output

    Film and Video Production

    • Cut: when two pieces of film are spliced together to cut from one image to another
    • Dissolve: when one image slowly replaces another
    • ADR (Addition Dialogue Recording)
    • Cross-cutting: cuts between actions happening simultaneously
    • Eye-Line match: cuts to an object then a person

    Computer Programming

    • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) converts binary into text
    • Programming language: a set of instructions written by a programmer to deliver instructions to the computer
    • Javascript is used for website and mobile app development
    • Arduino is a microcontroller platform

    Miscellaneous
