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.

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






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






7. darker version of color (maroon)






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






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






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

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






15. The _______ the focal length - the more light is pulled in and the wider the image - resulting in a wide-angle image






16. The height of a wave






17. 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)

23. Tungsten balanced/indoor lights are this color temperature






24. 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)






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






26. darker version of color (maroon)






27. 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)
