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. NTSC stands for...






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

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






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






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






12. blues - greens - purples






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






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






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






16. NTSC uses ___ horizontal lines per image and displays images at a rate of almost 30 fps (or _____ fps)






17. Intensity of color






18. Lighter version of color (Pink)






19. A format associated with newer HD systems where the entire image is scanned in one field






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






21. 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)






22. Light that is created for mood






23. Illuminates shadows created by the key light






24. Intensity of color






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






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






27. pickup pattern that is more sensitive to sounds in front of the mic than on either side or behind the mic






28. darker version of color (maroon)






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






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






31. Sounds with long waves have this






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






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






34. A disturbance in the air; vibrations in the form of waves






35. Video frame rates are dictated by this






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






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






38. Combo of three colors equidistant on color wheel (like red - yellow - blue)






39. Color temperature is measured in this






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






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






42. 1 million pixels






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






44. 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)






45. PAL stands for...






46. Occurs when an object in the foreground is balanced by an object in the background






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






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






49. DSLR camera






50. Storage capacity of a dual layer blue-ray
