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






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






3. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of tungsten






4. The height of a wave






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






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






7. DVD that has 8.54 GB (approx. 5 hours of SD video)






8. In painting - Red - Yellow - and Blue. In film - Red - Green - and Blue.






9. dimensions of standard definition






10. The height of a wave






11. Frame rate in Europe






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






13. Sounds with long waves have this






14. Combo of various shades/tints of a particular color (like sepia)






15. pickup pattern that can be cardiod or hyper-cardiod and have narrow pickup patterns






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






17. Average blu-ray bitrate






18. Light that illuminates the background and often used instead of back light (sounds almost exactly the same...)






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






20. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






21. daylight balanced/outdoor light is this color temperature






22. DVD that has 8.54 GB (approx. 5 hours of SD video)






23. The number of colors available to each individual pixel






24. Gives the impression of wholeness -- the viewer sees all he/she needs to see






25. 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)






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






27. Sounds that come from outside the world ('oooooo weeeeeee ooooooo.... doooooo weee ooooo ooooo'~)






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






29. Consists of light rays hitting object from single angle - creating hard-edged - well defined shadows (Humphrey Bogart)






30. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray






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






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






33. The weight of a space a person/object is moving into






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






35. Cuts down the intensity of light without changing the color temperature






36. pickup pattern that picks up sounds equally from all directions around the microphone (360 degrees)






37. PAL stands for...






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






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






40. Tungsten balanced/indoor lights are this color temperature






41. Light that illuminates the background and often used instead of back light (sounds almost exactly the same...)






42. pickup pattern that has a really narrow range AKA 'shotgun mic'






43. electromagnetic radiation






44. pickup pattern that picks up sounds equally from all directions around the microphone (360 degrees)






45. Reproduce reality with a minimum of image distortion - recreating reality largely as it appears to the human eye






46. 1 million pixels






47. Combo of colors adjacent to one another on color wheel






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






49. Softens light






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