About
With reference to the Minutes of the Third Meeting of the AUNILO Working Committee on 18-21 September 2006 in Brunei Darussalam, the Meeting agreed that the Portal should be enhanced by developing a glossary of terms for library and information science in English. Member participants will have to translate the terms into their own language. The University of the Philippines, will support the University of Malaya in this endeavor.
Terms
8mm film
English
A gauge of motion picture film that is 8 millimeters wide from edge to edge. Introduced for the home market by Kodak in 1932, "Cine Kodak Eight" utilized a special 16mm film that had double the number of perforations along both edges, enabling the filmmaker to run the film through the camera in one direction, then reload and expose the other half of the film, similar to the way an audiocassette is used. After development, the film was slit lengthwise down the center and spliced end to end in the laboratory, fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of film. Regular 8mm has 80 frames per foot and the same size sprocket holes as 16mm film. In 1965, Kodak introduced cartridge-loading Super 8mm that eliminated the need to flip and rethread the film. Super 8 have 74 frames per foot and smaller sprocket holes, leaving more area for the image. It is used by both amateurs and professionals and has developed a following among experimental filmmakers. Many well-known cinematographers and directors began their careers using Super 8. Source: http://lu.com/odlis/index.cfm
