    Using the shots below, which is an Extreme Wide Shot:    - ProProfs

    Using the shots below, which is an Extreme Wide Shot:   

    • Far left

    • Second from the left

    • Third from the left

    • Far right

    Correct Answer
    A. Far left
    Explanation
    An extreme wide shot is a type of shot that shows the subject from a very far distance, capturing a large area or landscape. In this case, the far left shot is the correct answer because it shows a wide view of the scene, capturing a large portion of the surroundings. The other shots are closer and do not show as much of the scene, making them less likely to be extreme wide shots.

    Which of the following shots is a close-up: - ProProfs

    Which of the following shots is a close-up:

    • Far left

    • Middle

    • All of them

    • None of them

    Correct Answer
    A. All of them
    Explanation
    A close-up shot is a type of shot that focuses on a specific subject or object, typically showing it in great detail and filling the frame. In this case, the question does not provide any context or specific subjects to consider. Therefore, it can be assumed that all of the shots mentioned (far left, middle, and none of them) could potentially be close-up shots depending on the context in which they are used.

    A “point of view shot” is a specific form of which type of story element:

    • Establish shot

    • Reaction shot

    • Perspective shot

    • Rule of Thirds

    Correct Answer
    A. Perspective shot
    Explanation
    A "point of view shot" is a specific form of a perspective shot. In this type of shot, the camera is positioned to show the audience what a character is seeing from their point of view. It allows the audience to experience the scene through the character's eyes, creating a sense of immersion and empathy. This technique is often used to convey a character's emotions, thoughts, and subjective experiences.

  • 5. 

    On any type of film or video production, storyboards, pre-visualization, and location inspections are important activities completed during which stage of the project:

    • Pre-production

    • Production

    • Post-production

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Pre-production
    Explanation
    During the pre-production stage of a film or video production, various important activities are completed, including storyboarding, pre-visualization, and location inspections. These activities are crucial in planning and organizing the project before the actual production begins. Storyboarding helps in visualizing and organizing the sequence of shots, pre-visualization allows for a virtual representation of the final product, and location inspections ensure that suitable filming locations are chosen. Therefore, the correct answer is Pre-production.

    Which of the following shots is an “over-the-shoulder” shot:

    • Left

    • Middle

    • Left and Right

    • Left and Middle

    Correct Answer
    A. Left and Right
    Explanation
    An "over-the-shoulder" shot is a camera angle where the camera is positioned behind one character's shoulder, showing both the character and what they are looking at. In the given options, the only choice that fits this description is "Left and Right" because it suggests that the camera is positioned behind the shoulders of two characters, showing both of them and what they are looking at.

    Camera part #1 controls which function? - ProProfs

    Camera part #1 controls which function?

    • Allows you to change focal lengths

    • Changes the aperture size (F-stop)

    • Releases and activates the built-in flash

    • Allows manual change to focus

    Correct Answer
    A. Allows manual change to focus
    Explanation
    Camera part #1 allows manual change to focus. This means that it allows the user to adjust the focus of the camera manually, rather than relying on the autofocus feature. By turning or adjusting this part, the user can control the sharpness and clarity of the image they are capturing.

    Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic stages of video production:

    • Pre-production planning

    • The shoot

    • Post-production

    • The rough cut

    Correct Answer
    A. The rough cut
    Explanation
    The rough cut is not one of the three basic stages of video production. The three basic stages include pre-production planning, the shoot, and post-production. Pre-production planning involves the initial planning and preparation for the video project, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, and casting. The shoot is the actual filming of the video, where the scenes are recorded with the actors and crew. Post-production is the stage where the recorded footage is edited, sound is added, and any special effects or graphics are incorporated. The rough cut refers to an early version of the edited video, which is not considered a separate stage in the production process.

    Which of the following is an important concept for effective “framing” of your shots:

    • Panning

    • Headroom

    • Cutting on the action

    • Manual focus

    Correct Answer
    A. Headroom
    Explanation
    Headroom is an important concept for effective framing of shots because it refers to the space between the top of a subject's head and the top of the frame. Proper headroom ensures that the subject is not cut off and allows for a balanced composition. Too much headroom can make the shot feel empty, while too little headroom can make the subject feel cramped. By considering headroom, filmmakers can create visually appealing and well-composed shots.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Any editing activity that takes place after the original footage is shot is called:

    • Mixing

    • Rendering

    • Effects

    • Post-production

    Correct Answer
    A. Post-production
    Explanation
    Post-production refers to any editing activity that occurs after the original footage is shot. This includes tasks such as editing, color correction, sound design, adding special effects, and finalizing the project for distribution. It is the stage where all the elements of the video or film are brought together and polished to create the final product. Mixing, rendering, and effects are specific activities that can be part of the post-production process, but post-production encompasses all of these tasks and more.

    The following helps us analyze any shot to insure that it is well-framed and balanced (though not necessarily symmetrical):

    • Establishing shot

    • Reaction shot

    • Perspective shot

    • Rule of Thirds

    Correct Answer
    A. Rule of Thirds
    Explanation
    The Rule of Thirds is a compositional guideline that divides an image into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines. The points where these lines intersect are considered to be the most visually appealing areas to place key elements of the shot. By following this rule, photographers and filmmakers can create a balanced and visually pleasing composition. While the other options listed may also be important in analyzing shots, the Rule of Thirds specifically addresses framing and balance.

    • Far left

    • Second from the left

    • Third from the left

    • Far right

    Correct Answer
    A. Far right
    Explanation
    The far right shot is a medium shot because it shows the subject from the waist up, allowing the viewer to see the subject's body language and facial expressions. It provides a closer view compared to the other shots, which show the subject from further away.

    A perspective shot is any shot where the camera has been placed in an unusual angle or location.  Which of the following camera positions is least likely to be a good choice for a perspective shot?

    • Ceiling level wide shot

    • Floor level wide shot

    • Extreme close-up

    • Eye-level medium

    Correct Answer
    A. Eye-level medium
    Explanation
    An eye-level medium shot is least likely to be a good choice for a perspective shot because it is a common and standard camera position that represents the scene from the perspective of an average person's eye level. It does not offer any unusual or unique angles or locations that would create a distinct perspective.
