- A.
  
  Pre-production planning
- B.
  
  The shoot
- C.
  
  Post-production
- D.
  
  The rough cut
Correct Answer
D. The rough cut

Explanation
The rough cut is not one of the three basic stages of video production. The three basic stages are pre-production planning, the shoot, and post-production. Pre-production planning involves all the preparations and arrangements before the actual filming, such as scriptwriting, casting, and location scouting. The shoot is the stage where the actual filming takes place, capturing the footage according to the plan. Post-production is the final stage where the footage is edited, sound is added, and any necessary visual effects are incorporated to create the final product. The rough cut refers to an early version of the edited footage, which is not considered one of the three basic stages.

- A.
  
  Mixing
- B.

  Effects
- D.
  
  Post-production
Correct Answer
D. 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, adding visual effects, sound design, and finalizing the video or film. It is the stage where all the elements of the production come together to create the final product. Mixing refers to the process of combining and balancing audio elements, rendering is the process of generating the final output, and effects refer to the visual enhancements added to the footage. Therefore, post-production is the correct answer as it encompasses all these activities.

- D.
  
  Aggressiveness
Correct Answer
B. Dominance

Explanation
A camera placed above eye-level (looking down at the subject) provides the viewer with a sense of dominance. This is because the camera angle creates a perspective where the subject appears smaller and more vulnerable, while the viewer is positioned in a position of power. This angle is often used in photography and film to convey a sense of authority or control over the subject.

Correct Answer
D. Being a distant observer... not really involved.

Explanation
A birds-eye camera placement in film or photography captures the scene from a high angle, giving the viewer a perspective as if they are looking down from above. This vantage point creates a sense of detachment and distance, making the viewer feel like a distant observer who is not actively involved in the scene. It allows the viewer to observe the events from a removed position, without feeling any personal connection or involvement.
