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. Lens that has one fixed focal length for more precise manipulation of image quality






2. Measures the strength of the incoming signal.






3. Light that separates the subject from the background by positioning a somewhat lower intensity light at a high angle and behind the subject. It traces the edges of the figure and creates depth.






4. Changing the plane of critical focus during a take while the camera is running






5. Changing the plane of critical focus during a take while the camera is running






6. Not limited by the linear characteristics of video tape. We can move around in the footage in any direction - instantaneously. All film projects - whether shot on film of DV are edited on NLE. All visual and aural components must be turned into dig






7. Organized process by which you schedule and work with a number of potential performers to determine their suitability to your film






8. Lens that offers a continuous range of focal lengths in one lens housing






9. An interior scene that can be used in case your exterior shoot is cancelled because of bad weather






10. Primary source of illumination in your scene. Usually it is a motivated light source.






11. Lighting unit that is 45






12. Frequency - Amplitude - Timbre - and Velocity






13. Executing more than one move at a time






14. Process of combining the video and audio with the applied effect to create a new media file






15. The things that our characters actually handle in a scene






16. The movement of characters in the space






17. Separate comfortable waiting space to put the next-in line actor. A place where actors can relax - drink some water - and go over their lines.






18. The order of events in your film






19. The recording of sync dialogue in a studio in cases where the production sound is not usable






20. Revolve around conflict - and express ideas and cocepts through stories in which a character who needs to accomplish something encounters obastacles and much struggle to get what they need






21. The head of the sound department responsible for recording the best possible quality sound. Chooses the appropriate microphones and mic placement for each and every scene that requires sound. They also monitor and maintain proper recording levels.






22. Camera and lens expert. They are responsible for the proper functioning of the camera - which includes setting it up - cleaning the gate - checking and pulling focus - and selecting filters and lenses. They know precise details about what various






23. Shooting a scene from various angles






24. Two-thirds of the depth range along the z-axis is behind the focus point and one-third is in front of the focus point






25. Reading from the script pages that actors are given minutes before the audition






26. An interior scene that can be used in case your exterior shoot is cancelled because of bad weather






27. Transforming what is vague and internal into a series of viewable and audible actions and events






28. Adjusting the optical center away from the focal plane and therefore increasing the magnification power of the lens (telephoto)






29. The physical placement of the camera on the set necessary to get each shot in your shooting script






30. Dramatic Structure Matches - Content and Activity Matches - Matched Action Cuts - Graphic Matches - and Sound Bridges






31. Expresses the director's visual strategy for every scene in the film. It shows you what shots are used to cover a scene and in how they connect together as an edited scene. Camera angles - shot sizes - camera moves - etc. are all marked.






32. The recording of sync dialogue in a studio in cases where the production sound is not usable






33. Ensures visibility in all parts of your scene with overall bright and even illumination. Minimizes shadows - texture and dimensionality.






34. Two-thirds of the depth range along the z-axis is behind the focus point and one-third is in front of the focus point






35. First complete version of the narrative in proper screenplay format

36. Closely scrutinizing the location for its technical and aesthetic capabilities






37. List of all the shots that make up the film in the order in which they will be shot






38. Clearly shows both subjects in the scene and defines the spatial relationship of the two to each other and the space around them






39. Lens that has one fixed focal length for more precise manipulation of image quality






40. Adjusting the optical center away from the focal plane and therefore increasing the magnification power of the lens (telephoto)






41. The ability of a lens to gather light is determined by the largest possible f-stop of that particular lens (a fast lens can open up to allow more light than a slow lens)






42. Organized process by which you schedule and work with a number of potential performers to determine their suitability to your film






43. Works closely with the director on the visual interprataino of the script and the photographic look of the movie (cinematography). This involves lighting - film stocks - video format - expressive camera angles - compositions - exposures - and f






44. The head of the sound department responsible for recording the best possible quality sound. Chooses the appropriate microphones and mic placement for each and every scene that requires sound. They also monitor and maintain proper recording levels.






45. Works closely with the director on the visual interprataino of the script and the photographic look of the movie (cinematography). This involves lighting - film stocks - video format - expressive camera angles - compositions - exposures - and f






46. Shooting Script - Overheads - and Storyboards






47. Loud - sudden sound that exceeds 0dB






48. Deciding where you want to shoot (the look - the access - the logistics - the sound - and securing it)






49. Any cutting - arranging - trimming - corrections - or effects you might perform occur only virtually - in a preview mode. Original media files are not altered in any way. (Digital NLE is an example)






50. Recording is too low
