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






2. Video frame rates are dictated by this






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

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






6. Another name for the sound wave






7. 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)






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






9. primary source of light - roughly 45 degrees off of camera/subject axis






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






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






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






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