Film Production Exam

Subjects : performing-arts, film
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Color temperature is measured in this






2. AKA 'binary digit.' Represented by a 1 or 0.






3. Light that comes from the physical setting - like a window






4. electromagnetic radiation






5. A compositional rule that divides the frame horizontally and vertically into thirds






6. Light on the blue-white ends of the spectrum; short wavelengths - high frequency






7. pickup pattern that is more sensitive to sounds in front of the mic than on either side or behind the mic






8. This gathers (or bends) light into its barrel and transports it through several pieces of glass (or elements) to the sensor






9. A format associated with older SD cameras/analog systems where there are two field patterns (odd and even) that make up the whole image (the lines that flip out)






10. A compositional rule that divides the frame horizontally and vertically into thirds






11. dimensions of high definition






12. primary source of light - roughly 45 degrees off of camera/subject axis






13. Colors produced by mixing primary and secondary colors (red-orange - yellow-green...)






14. NTSC stands for...






15. Combo of colors directly opposite one another on color wheel (christmas)






16. Another name for the sound wave






17. DSLR camera






18. A format associated with newer HD systems where the entire image is scanned in one field






19. Sounds with long waves have this






20. This is achieved when a person's eyes are approximately 1/3 way down the frame






21. The weight of the gaze of a person/object






22. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






23. dimensions of high definition






24. Angle that makes someone seem powerless






25. Off-kilter frame that presents objects from a skewed angle AKA DOLL ANGLE!






26. Video frame rates are dictated by this






27. The distance from one crest of a wave to the next






28. Combo of three colors equidistant on color wheel (like red - yellow - blue)






29. Gives the impression of a lack of closure -- the viewer is left wanting/needing to see more






30. Creates the illusion of shallow depth and the distance between objects appears diminished






31. Angle that makes someone seem powerful






32. This is achieved when a person's eyes are approximately 1/3 way down the frame

38. The variety of patterns that microphones pick up sound in






39. Sound that derives from the world being captured ('Is that a car? I hate you......It's a MOTORBOAT!')






40. The amount of light that the lens pulls into the barrel is determined by this






41. Light that is created for mood






42. Tesla <33 high voltage transmissions - cycling 60x/second with a sine wave pattern






43. Occurs when an object in the foreground is balanced by an object in the background






44. Consists of light rays hitting object from single angle - creating hard-edged - well defined shadows (Humphrey Bogart)
