By doing so, American films often create a sense of admiration and sympathy towards these characters, making them relatable and appealing to audiences. This romanticization can be seen in various genres such as sports films, crime dramas, and coming-of-age stories, where protagonists who are underdogs, rebels, or outlaws are often portrayed as heroes or anti-heroes.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that actor stars are less likely to have strong ideological beliefs compared to personality stars. This implies that actors tend to be more neutral or open-minded when it comes to political or social ideologies, while personality stars may have stronger biases or affiliations. This could be because actors are trained to portray different characters and perspectives, while personality stars are often known for their personal opinions and beliefs.

    Explanation
    The statement is true because auteurists believe that the best films are those that showcase a dialectical relationship between the genre conventions and the filmmaker's personal artistic vision. This means that the filmmaker's unique style and personality should be evident in the film, while also respecting and challenging the established conventions of the genre. This approach creates a dynamic tension between tradition and innovation, resulting in films that are both familiar and fresh, and ultimately considered to be of higher artistic quality.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Formalists, who are photographers that adhere to the formalist approach, often use extreme angles and high contrast lighting in their photography. This technique helps to create dramatic and visually striking images. By using extreme angles, they can add a sense of dynamism and uniqueness to their compositions. High contrast lighting, on the other hand, emphasizes the stark differences between light and shadow, enhancing the overall visual impact of the photograph. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is true.

    Explanation
    When a character moves towards the viewer, it creates a sense of proximity and directness, which can be interpreted as more aggressive.

    Deep focus photography offers realist directors an alternative to editing in some scenes 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Deep focus photography refers to a technique in which all elements in a scene, both near and far, are in sharp focus. This allows the audience to see the entire scene with clarity and detail, without the need for editing or cutting between different shots. Realist directors, who aim to depict reality as accurately as possible, can use deep focus photography to create a sense of immersion and authenticity in their films. By capturing the entire scene in focus, they can convey a more realistic and naturalistic portrayal of the story and characters. Therefore, it is true that deep focus photography offers realist directors an alternative to editing in some scenes.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    British acting traditions place a strong emphasis on mastering external elements such as diction, movement, makeup, and body control. This means that British actors often focus on perfecting their pronunciation, physicality, and overall appearance in order to effectively portray a character.

    Slow motion is achieved by photographing events are more frames per second 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Slow motion is achieved by photographing events at more frames per second. This means that when the footage is played back at the normal frame rate, it appears to be in slow motion. By capturing more frames per second, more detail and motion can be captured, allowing for a smoother and slower playback.

    WHen photographed in slow motion, a violent scene can seem paradoxically beautiful, graceful, dreamy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a violent scene is captured in slow motion, the fast and chaotic movements are slowed down, creating a mesmerizing effect. The slowed pace allows the viewer to observe the scene in detail, noticing the intricate movements and patterns that may not be visible in real-time. This can give the impression of beauty, grace, and a dream-like quality, despite the violent nature of the scene. Therefore, it is true that a violent scene can appear paradoxically beautiful, graceful, and dreamy when photographed in slow motion.

    Editing for dramatic intensity, emotional emphasis is achieved by classical cutting

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In film editing, classical cutting refers to the traditional style of editing that follows a logical and seamless sequence of shots. By editing for dramatic intensity and emotional emphasis, the editor can manipulate the timing, pace, and order of shots to create a more impactful and engaging experience for the audience. This can be achieved through techniques such as quick cuts, jump cuts, cross-cutting, or montage, which heighten the emotional impact of the scenes. Therefore, it is true that classical cutting can enhance dramatic intensity and emotional emphasis in editing.

    Rate this question:

    Cross-cutting alternates between scenes, suggesting that the action is taking place at teh same time 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that cross-cutting is a technique used in filmmaking where different scenes or actions are shown in a rapid sequence, implying that they are happening simultaneously. This technique is commonly used to build tension, create a sense of parallelism, or show the connection between different storylines or characters. Therefore, if the question states that cross-cutting alternates between scenes, it suggests that the action is indeed taking place at the same time.

    Nudity is more common in movies than in live theater because movies are only pictures

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Nudity is more common in movies than in live theater because movies are only pictures. This statement is true because movies have the advantage of being able to edit and manipulate scenes, allowing for more explicit content to be shown. In live theater, actors are physically present on stage, making it more challenging to portray nudity without causing discomfort or distraction to the audience. Additionally, movies can reach a broader audience through various platforms, while live theater is limited to those who can attend the performances in person.

    Interior monologue is a narrative technique that allows readers to access a character's thoughts and feelings directly, without any external filter or interpretation. By using interior monologue, authors can provide a deeper understanding of a character's motivations, desires, and inner conflicts. It gives readers a glimpse into the character's mind and allows them to empathize and connect with the character on a more intimate level. Therefore, it is true that interior monologue can reveal a character's thoughts.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    The age difference between an actor and his character is far more important on screen than on stage

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    On screen, the age difference between an actor and their character is more important because the camera can capture and emphasize physical appearances and details. Close-ups and other camera techniques can highlight age differences, making them more noticeable to the audience. On stage, however, the distance between the actors and the audience may make it harder to discern age differences. The focus on stage is often more on the actor's performance and the character they are portraying, rather than their physical attributes. Therefore, the age difference is more significant on screen than on stage.

    Film historians scoff at the naive notion that there is "A" film history

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Film historians scoff at the naive notion that there is "A" film history because the history of film is complex and multifaceted. It is not a singular narrative, but rather a collection of diverse and interconnected stories, perspectives, and movements. Film history encompasses different genres, styles, national cinemas, and cultural contexts, making it impossible to reduce it to a single, unified history. Film historians recognize the need to acknowledge and explore the various histories and contributions that have shaped the medium, rather than simplifying it into one overarching narrative.

    Correct Answer
    A. Synchronous sound
    Explanation
    Synchronous sound refers to the technique used in filmmaking where the lip movements of the actors match perfectly with the sounds that appear to come from their mouths. This technique is employed by directors to create a more realistic and immersive experience for the viewers. By synchronizing the sound with the actors' lip movements, the dialogue and actions on screen appear more natural and believable.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    The function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Sound effects are used in various forms of media, such as movies, television shows, and video games, to create a specific atmosphere or mood. They help to immerse the audience in the story by providing auditory cues that enhance the overall experience. Sound effects can include ambient noises, such as rain or wind, or more dramatic effects like explosions or footsteps. These sounds add depth and realism to the scene, making it easier for the audience to connect with the story being told. Therefore, it can be concluded that the primary function of sound effects is to create an atmospheric environment.

    What device tends to increase the importance of a subject?

    • Low angle shot

    • High camera shot

    • Bright colors

    • Slow motion

    Correct Answer
    A. Low angle shot
    Explanation
    A low angle shot tends to increase the importance of a subject because it is taken from a lower position, looking up at the subject. This angle creates a sense of power, dominance, and importance for the subject, making it appear larger and more significant compared to the surroundings. It can evoke feelings of admiration, respect, and awe towards the subject, enhancing its importance in the viewer's perception.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    When the camera scans a scene horizontally from a stationary axis point, the shot is called a/an

    • Pan

    • Dolly shot

    • Tilt shot

    • Process shot

    Correct Answer
    A. Pan
    Explanation
    When the camera scans a scene horizontally from a stationary axis point, it is referred to as a pan. A pan shot involves moving the camera from left to right or right to left, capturing a wider view of the scene. This technique is commonly used to follow a subject or show the relationship between different elements within the frame. Unlike a dolly shot, which involves physically moving the camera towards or away from the subject, a pan shot keeps the camera in a fixed position while only changing the direction of the view. A tilt shot, on the other hand, involves moving the camera vertically. A process shot refers to a technique where live action footage is combined with pre-recorded or computer-generated elements.

    • Non-synchronous sound

    • The "moses supposes his toeses are roses effect"

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Non-synchronous sound
    Explanation
    Non-synchronous sound refers to sound and image that are not recorded simultaneously or when sound is detached from its source in the screen image. This means that the sound does not match the actions or events happening on the screen. It can be intentionally used in films for creative purposes or due to technical limitations. This term encompasses both situations where sound is intentionally detached from the image and situations where it is unintentionally out of sync.

    • Director

    • Screen writer

    • Cinematographer

    • Personality star

    Correct Answer
    A. Director
    Explanation
    The auteur theory posits that the director is the true "author" of a film. This theory suggests that the director's creative vision and personal style are the driving forces behind a film's artistic and thematic elements. The director is responsible for making key decisions regarding the script, visual aesthetics, and overall direction of the film, thus exerting the most significant influence on its final outcome. While other individuals, such as screenwriters and cinematographers, contribute to the filmmaking process, the auteur theory asserts that the director's role is paramount in shaping the film's artistic identity.

    • Temper formalism with realistic sets and acting styles

    • Replace nonsynchronous sound with synchronous sound

    Correct Answer

German Expressionism sought to move away from realistic depictions of the world and instead focus on expressing inner emotions and subjective experiences. By eliminating nature and embracing abstraction, they aimed to create a more intense and emotionally charged form of art that would reflect the anxieties and turmoil of the post-war period.

    • Mass popularity

    • Technical skill

    • Professional training

    • Studio whim

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass popularity
    Explanation
    The distinction between professional actors and stars is based on mass popularity. This means that stars are individuals who have gained a significant amount of fame and recognition from the general public, often due to their appearances in popular films, TV shows, or other forms of media. On the other hand, professional actors are individuals who have received formal training and possess technical skills in acting. While technical skill and professional training are important factors in being a professional actor, the distinction between actors and stars ultimately lies in the level of mass popularity they have achieved.
