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.

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. Big image - short focal length






2. Aids in the composition process - Gives Time Code numbers for places where music is to be heard - Tells the length of time the music is to run - Gives a description of What is happening in the scene






3. The distance through with objects will appear in sharp focus in front of and behind the point at which the camera is actually focused






4. A cut in which the character's movement and position are perfectly aligned in time and space from one shot to the next






5. Place were sounds are stored that allows them to be accessed and worked on from various places






6. Middle point of the haystack






7. Notes will become a muddy jumble and the frequencies will not come out of the equipment with the same clarity with which they went in - Analog equipment






8. An obvious jarring break in continuity from one shot to the next






9. Middle point of the haystack






10. Make the volume of every scene - every person - and every sound effect more or less the same - One way to achieve balance






11. Picking up mainly from one side in a heart shaped pattern






12. The sound made by the differing frequencies






13. Actors should look the same from one shot to another






14. tinted blue - 5500 degrees Kelvin - outside lighting






15. A recording of the general ambience of the place where the dialogue is being recorded






16. Higher pitch and frequency






17. An obvious jarring break in continuity from one shot to the next






18. The editor can try an entire group of shots in one position - move it to another - and then return it to it's original position






19. Source microphones go into - Has up to 4 channels






20. Involves keeping the audience from getting lost - If you cut from a wide shot of a building to a medium shot - the medium shot should be of something that is recognizable in the wide shot






21. The height of the sound wave. As the this increases - the sound wave gets louder






22. When you hear a bounce off a very close wall - quicker response than an echo






23. Uses a diaphragm - Robust - NO power required - Not so efficient






24. When sounds are mixed live - each mic feeds into a different input of one or more audio mixers






25. The more light reaches film






26. Shot of something that did not appear in the previous shot






27. Isolates a particular character or action






28. An actors performance should be consistent from shot to shot






29. 800 mph or 1000ft per second or 1 foot per millisecond






30. Has three prongs and an outer covering - Has a guide pin and lock so that it remains firmly in place - Profession standard






31. The opening in the lens that allows light to pass






32. Musical Instrument Digital Interface - A technical standard that allows electronic instruments to interact with each other






33. The degree to which the aperture opens






34. Source microphones go into - Has up to 4 channels






35. Focal length divided by aperture






36. Decibels (dB)






37. Record all the music in a control room






38. Notes will become a muddy jumble and the frequencies will not come out of the equipment with the same clarity with which they went in - Analog equipment






39. Charged Coupled Device






40. Pre-production






41. If there is a background noise in one shot - there should be the same background noise in the next - if they are in the same time and place






42. The more light reaches film






43. Has a diaphragm plus and electronic component called a capacitor - Delicate - Power supply needed - Efficient






44. Big image - short focal length






45. Recording picture on one machine and sound on another






46. Directional (Cardiod) - Omnidirectional - Bidirectional






47. Lighting instrument that has a lens on the front






48. Automatic Gain Control - Prevents the signal from being recorded at too low or too high a level






49. Refers to making the audio sound better - You may fix sound of some dialogue by bringing in the sound from another shot that wasn't used in the film or replacing a word through ADR






50. The picture should look the same from shot to shot if the assumption is that the shots are in the same time and space
