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.

25. AKA 'binary digit.' Represented by a 1 or 0.






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






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






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






29. The variety of patterns that microphones pick up sound in






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






31. Refers to the number of pixels that make up an image and the number of sensor elements in the sensor






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