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






2. Reproduce reality with a minimum of image distortion - recreating reality largely as it appears to the human eye






3. Intensity of color






4. The height of a wave






5. The ________ the focal length - the less light is pulled in and the narrower the image - resulting in a close-up telephoto image






6. Refers to the number of pixels that make up an image and the number of sensor elements in the sensor






7. DSLR camera






8. Cuts down the intensity of light without changing the color temperature






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






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






11. blues - greens - purples






12. Sounds with long waves have this






13. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of daylight






14. Creates outline of light around subject; aka rim light or hair light






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






16. Intensity of light _________ as it moves closer to the light source






17. Occurs when objects are placed at the center of the frame or arranged on opposite lines of thirds






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






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






20. Light that is created for mood






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






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






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






24. Frame rate in Europe






25. A disturbance in the air; vibrations in the form of waves






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






27. Storage capacity of a single layer blu-ray






28. A data element containing 8 bits or 256 distinct values






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

31. Softens light






32. darker version of color (maroon)






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






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






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






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






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






38. Combo of various shades/tints of a particular color (like sepia)






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






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






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

43. dimensions of standard definition






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






45. A disturbance in the air; vibrations in the form of waves
