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






2. Frame rate in Europe






3. Lighter version of color (Pink)






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






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






6. In U.S. - AC power with a frequency of ___Hz dictates that 60 interlaced NTSC video fields will be produced per second--or 30 frames (2 fields/frame)






7. Average blu-ray bitrate






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






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. Aspect ratio of high def






11. Color






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






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






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






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






16. Tungsten balanced/indoor lights are this color temperature






17. The height of a wave






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






19. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






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






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






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






23. Gives the impression of wholeness -- the viewer sees all he/she needs to see






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






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






26. Aspect ratio of high def






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






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






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






30. Tungsten balanced/indoor lights are this color temperature






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






32. Storage capacity of a single layer blu-ray






33. electromagnetic radiation






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






35. Intensity of color






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






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






38. dimensions of standard definition






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






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






41. Light that is created for mood






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






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






44. 1 million pixels






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






46. 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)






47. Intensity of color






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






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






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