FILMP 160 FALL 2019 Quiz One Study Guide
Quiz One will cover the contents of lectures 2, 3, and 4. The slides from the lectures should be reviewed alongside your notes from the lecture. In each case, you should also be sure to reference the reading for that week to get more in depth discussion of the particular issue you are looking at. The quiz will be about 15 questions, mainly short answer, with a few multiple choice questions, and a few situations where you will mark a diagram or image.
Reading for Week 2: Voice & Vision Chap 8 pp.183-187 “The Digital Video System” thru “Broadcast Standards.”; and pp. 231 – 249 “The Camera Lens” thru DOF (Depth of Field)
Reading for Week 3: Voice & Vision Chap 3 Visual Language & Aesthetics pp. 50 - 63, “The Frame and Composition” thru “Dynamic Moves”; Chap 11 - Camera Support, pp. 255-256 “The Handheld Camera.”
Reading for Week 4: Voice & Vision Chap 8 The Digital Video System: p. 186 “The Broadcast System” thru p.193 “HD Resolution” and Chap 20 Digital Editing Fundamentals, p. 467 “The Software Interface thru p. 475 “Back It Up!”.
NOTE FOR WEEK 4: The material from Chapter 20 on Digital Editing will NOT be part of the quiz, as we didn't cover it during the Sept 18 lecture.

Perspective & compression
LECTURE 3
Basic concept of the picture plane vs.
the illusion of spacial depth and dimensionality in the frame
Concepts of illusion of depth created by overlapping and by use of perspective Composition – concept of balanced and unbalanced (symetrical vs. asymetrical) compositions in terms of masses, lines, colors, shapes, etc.
Rule of thirds
Using z – axis to create feeling of depth
Using foreground/midground/background composition to create feeling of depth
Vocabulary
shot/sequence/scene
screen left/ screen right
Offscreen
Aspect ratio (what are a couple of common ones?)
Deep frame
Flat frame
Open frame (referencing offscreen space)
Closed frame
proxemics (How close does the shot make me feel? vs. How much info am I getting?) shot types from ELS to ECU
2 shot
Low angle and high angle shots
LECTURE 4
Electromagnetic spectrum
Idea of visible light as part of that spectrum
Idea of radio waves as part of that spectrum
concept of analog media
Concept of turning a picture into a stream of information by scanning and breaking image into lines
Role of CRT (cathode ray tube) in television
Interlaced scanning
Video 30 frames per second / 60 fields per second
videotape as a way of recording electronic images from TV (versus using 16mm film)
CCD – charge coupled device (idea that this is the first 'chip' that replaces the CRT in camera.
Sampling, idea that analog signal info is replaced with a set of numbers, and the series of lines of video replaced with individual pixels, each with a number.
Image resolution
Progressive scanning
Image size in pixels (Original MAC 640px by 480px.; HD video 1920px x 1080px.)
