Filmmaking Techniques Quiz

What is the 180-degree rule in filmmaking primarily concerned with?

• Lighting setup

• Camera placement

• Sound design

• Editing techniques

In the context of the 180-degree rule, what is the "axis of action"?

• The line that separates the actors from the background

• The imaginary line that connects two characters or elements in a scene

• The line that determines the lighting direction

• The line that separates the camera from the actors

Which of the following is NOT a component of the exposure triangle?

• ISO

• Shutter speed

• Aperture

• White balance

In the exposure triangle, what does ISO primarily control?

• The depth of field

• The sensitivity of the camera sensor to light

• The motion blur in the image

• The color temperature

What is the effect of increasing the aperture size (lower f-stop number) in the exposure triangle?

• Decreases depth of field

• Increases depth of field

• Increases motion blur

• Decreases motion blur

• Split lighting

• Rembrandt lighting

• Butterfly lighting

• Loop lighting

What is the primary characteristic of split lighting?

• It illuminates both sides of the face equally

• The duration the camera sensor is exposed to light

• The sensitivity of the camera sensor

• The color balance of the image

Which of the following is a potential consequence of breaking the 180-degree rule?

• Increased depth of field

• Continuity errors

• Enhanced color saturation

• Improved sound quality

What is the typical effect of using a high ISO setting in video?

• Increased noise or grain

• Decreased depth of field

• Increased motion blur
