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. electromagnetic radiation






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






3. Frame rate in the U.S.






4. Sound that derives from the world being captured ('Is that a car? I hate you......It's a MOTORBOAT!')






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






6. Average blu-ray bitrate






7. Aspect ratio of high def






8. 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)






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






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






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






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