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. Aspect ratio of standard def






3. Angle that makes someone seem powerful






4. Softens light






5. Sounds with long waves have this






6. Color temperature is measured in this






7. NTSC stands for...






8. blues - greens - purples






9. Amplitude is measured in _________






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






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






12. Creates the illusion of shallow depth and the distance between objects appears diminished






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






14. Combo of colors directly opposite one another on color wheel (christmas)






15. Average DVD bitrate






16. daylight balanced/outdoor light is this color temperature






17. Creates outline of light around subject; aka rim light or hair light






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






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






20. In U.S. - AC power with a frequency of ___Hz dictates that 60 interlaced NTSC video fields will be produced per second--or 30 frames (2 fields/frame)






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






22. A data element containing 8 bits or 256 distinct values






23. Aspect ratio of high def






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






25. Red - oranges - yellow






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






27. Tesla <33 high voltage transmissions - cycling 60x/second with a sine wave pattern






28. This is achieved when a person's eyes are approximately 1/3 way down the frame

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






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






33. Intensity of color






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






35. Light that is created for mood

42. The distance from one crest of a wave to the next






43. 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)






44. A data element containing 8 bits or 256 distinct values






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