HA4 - Task 1

Persistence Of Vision

Persistence of vision is where their are multiple images and they make the mind believe they are all one image combined to make a moving image, a example of this would be a flip book, because if you look at a flip book their is just loads of different images and when you turn all of the pages really quick your mind will then see a moving image.

Beta Movement

Beta movement is a optical illusion, first described by Max Wertheimer in 1912, where a series of static images create a smooth going scene. This occurs when the frame rate is greater the 10 to 12. The static images do not physically change but because they move rapidly it makes the mind believe that it is a on going scene.

Frame rate

Frame rate, also known as frame frequency, is the frequency rate which images (frames) are displayed. This term is used in many different media products such as film and video cameras, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is usually expressed as frames per seconds (FPS).

Suspension of disbelief

Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action, comedy, fantasy, and horror genres. Suspension of disbelief is often an essential element for a magic show or a circus side show. For example an audience is not expected to actually believe that a woman/man is cut in half or transformed into a animal.
