1 answer:

4 0

Gutenberg’s genius invention was to create a set of letters that could be pressed into “matrix” material, which was then filled with a lead alloy to make type. You got one of each letter in a font of type. If you needed 100 of the letter E, you molded what you needed. If a letter was starting to wear out, you threw it back in the pot and made a new one. Gutenberg's printing press spread literature to the masses for the first time in an efficient, durable way, shoving Europe headlong into the original information age. Being able to print in quantity meant more people could gain access to learning, and more people could create new ideas.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Mulvey relates this feature of cinematography (specifically, depth of field) to the expression of the active male's expansive power through screen space. Mulvey relates to Depth of field.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Depth of field is very important in photography, it enhances our photos. It is that part that represents sharpness that we can easily focus. It varies from one photo to another.

In some photos, the part where we can focus on is very shallow but in other photos, this part is very deep. Depth of field depends upon aperture and focal length of the lens.

Large aperture gives a shallow depth of field but on the other hand, a small aperture gives a deep depth of field.
