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






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






3. 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)






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






5. darker version of color (maroon)






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






7. Light that is created for mood






8. 1 million pixels






9. The number of colors available to each individual pixel






10. DSLR camera

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






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






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






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






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






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






18. 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)






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






20. The ___________ number of bits you have - the greater the number of values you can have.






21. Illuminates shadows created by the key light

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






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

29. electromagnetic radiation






30. dimensions of high definition






31. Softens light






32. Amplitude is measured in _________






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






34. Sounds with long waves have this






35. 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)






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






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






38. Changes the color temperature of a light to that of daylight






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






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

48. Average blu-ray bitrate






49. PAL stands for...






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