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






2. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of tungsten






3. The number of colors available to each individual pixel






4. pickup pattern that has a really narrow range AKA 'shotgun mic'






5. Light that illuminates the background and often used instead of back light (sounds almost exactly the same...)






6. Angle that makes someone seem powerless






7. Sounds that come from outside the world ('oooooo weeeeeee ooooooo.... doooooo weee ooooo ooooo'~)






8. Video frame rates are dictated by this






9. Angle that makes someone seem powerful






10. pickup pattern that picks up sounds equally from all directions around the microphone (360 degrees)






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






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






13. pickup pattern that can be cardiod or hyper-cardiod and have narrow pickup patterns






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






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






16. Another name for the sound wave






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






18. Light on the red-orange end of the spectrum; long wavelengths - low frequency






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






20. dimensions of standard definition






21. The number of wave cycles that pass in a given time






22. Illuminates shadows created by the key light






23. DVD that has 8.54 GB (approx. 5 hours of SD video)

26. Lighter version of color (Pink)






27. In painting - Red - Yellow - and Blue. In film - Red - Green - and Blue.






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






29. In Europe - AC power with a frequency of ___Hz dictates that 50 interlaced PAL video fields will be produced per second--or 25 frames






30. Consists of light rays hitting an object from a variety of angles for less contrast and shadows - hazy - (Ingrid Bergman)






31. 1 million pixels






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






33. Softens light






34. DVD that has 8.54 GB (approx. 5 hours of SD video)






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






36. 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)






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






38. DVD that has 4.7 GB of space (approx. 2.5 hours of SD video)






39. Illuminates shadows created by the key light






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






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






42. Combo of colors adjacent to one another on color wheel






43. Creates the illusion of increased depth and the distance between objects appears elongated






44. blues - greens - purples






45. The ___________ number of bits you have - the greater the number of values you can have.
