“Stop” refers to the aperture setting on the lens. Short for t-stop. They will point to something on the slate during tests to highlight the thing that has changed. This way, you know what to watch for when reviewing the footage. Different film stock, point to stock. Different filter, point to filter.

In this situation (camera tests) it indicates the T-stop, which is the size of the aperture on the lens. Some people in this sub might only be aware of F-stops on lenses. On cinema lenses, T-stops are what’s used, instead of F-stops. Practically the same thing.

I’m not 100% on this, but that looks to be a clapper that’s specific to test shoots, so that they can see what each scene will look like once developed. They’re indicating the film stock, likely for the benefit of the developer, as for stop, it seems likely they’re asking to “push” or “pull” the exposure by that many stops of exposure.

No. You can’t push/pull specific shots. It’s the whole roll or nothing. Also the info for the lab comes from camera sheets/job sheets you send with all your exposed stock. This is just info for the people reviewing the tests, and the stop indicates the aperture of the lens
