Question 1

The chain of command on a production team in order of hierarchy includes:&#10;A) director, graphic designer, producer.&#10;B) executive director, producer, project manager.&#10;C) associate producer, graphic designer, director of photography.&#10;D) none of the above.

Accepted Answer

The executive director is typically at the top of the hierarchy on a production team, followed by the producer and then the project manager who oversees the day-to-day operations. While other roles such as graphic designer and director of photography may be important, they typically fall below these three positions in the chain of command. Therefore, option B is the best choice.

Question 2

What is hidden in television studios in order that video and microphone output can be sent to a separate control room?&#10;A) Cabling&#10;B) Outlets&#10;C) Lighting instruments&#10;D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Specific cables are run from the cameras and microphones in the studio to a separate control room so that the video and audio can be transmitted for editing and broadcasting. Outlets and lighting instruments may also be present in the studio, but they are not directly related to the transmission of the output.

Question 3

Working in a studio has its advantages and its disadvantages. What technology helps overcome &#34;the lack of reality&#34; that is a result of this?&#10;A) Having a separate control room&#10;B) Iso production&#10;C) Green screen&#10;D) None of the above&#10;

Accepted Answer

Green screen technology helps overcome "the lack of reality" that is a result of working in a studio. This technology allows for the addition of different backgrounds, effects, and elements that can make the scene more realistic or fit the desired aesthetic.

Question 4

Minimal postproduction can include:&#10;A) adding music, a laugh track, or close-up shots.&#10;B) adding sound recorded in a controlled environment.&#10;C) combining shots from multiple source cameras.&#10;D) changing the format.

Accepted Answer

Minimal postproduction can include adding music, a laugh track, or close-up shots, as these are basic enhancements that do not involve extensive editing or alterations to the original footage.

Question 5

Which media types are typically filmed using the multisource production?&#10;A) Fiction films&#10;B) Major sporting events&#10;C) Nightly news&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Multisource production is typically used for filming major sporting events, as it involves capturing footage from multiple cameras and angles to provide a more comprehensive viewing experience for the audience. While it could be used for fictional films or nightly news, it is not typically the preferred method for these types of media. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.

Question 6

For a soundstage, extraneous background noise is easily excluded with the use of high-tech microphones.

Accepted Answer

While high-tech microphones can improve sound quality, they cannot completely exclude all extraneous background noise in a soundstage. Additional measures such as sound insulation and post-production editing may also be necessary.

Question 7

Having control is the major advantage of single-source production (for camera or microphone).

Accepted Answer

Single-source production allows for control over the quality and consistency of the audio or video being produced, as there is only one source being used. This can result in a more polished and professional final product.

Question 8

A major disadvantage of multicamera production is that there are too many angles to get lighting correct for each camera resulting in compromise.

Accepted Answer

With multiple cameras, it can be difficult to adjust and maintain lighting for each one, leading to a compromise in the overall lighting of the production.

Question 9

Multisource production can include as many as 50 cameras for a live event.

Accepted Answer

Multisource production involves using multiple cameras to cover a live event from different angles and perspectives. The number of cameras used can vary, but it is possible to have as many as 50 cameras for a large-scale event such as a major sports game or concert.

Question 10

Single source film shooting is iso by default because one camera is isolated.

Accepted Answer

Single source film shooting refers to using one camera or one angle at a time, not to ISO settings, which are related to the camera's sensitivity to light.
