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. PAL stands for...






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






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

6. daylight balanced/outdoor light is this color temperature






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






8. Intensity of color






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. Light that is created for mood






11. Storage capacity of a single layer blu-ray






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






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

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






16. Frame rate in the U.S.






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






18. 1 million pixels






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






20. A term for decrease in light intensity






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






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






23. Illuminates shadows created by the key light






24. The greater the ____________ - the greater the quality of the image.






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






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






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






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






29. dimensions of sorta high def






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. Video frame rates are dictated by this






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






39. The height of a wave






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






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






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






43. The weight of a space a person/object is moving into






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






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






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






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






48. Sounds with short waves have this






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






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