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. PAL and SECAM use ____ horizontal lines per image and display images at a rate of exactly __ fps






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. NTSC uses ___ horizontal lines per image and displays images at a rate of almost 30 fps (or _____ fps)






12. Frame rate in the U.S.






13. Sounds with long waves have this






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






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






16. 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)






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






18. Softens light






19. Color temperature is measured in this






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






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






22. Average blu-ray bitrate






23. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






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






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






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






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






28. Edison T^T low-voltage applications and flows in a straight line






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






30. Frame rate in the U.S.






31. Angle that makes someone seem powerful






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