Accepted Answer

The director is responsible for overseeing the creative aspects of a film, including how the mise-en-scène, or the visual theme and elements present within a scene, are captured on camera. This involves making decisions on how to translate the three-dimensional space of the set and actors into the two-dimensional space of the film frame, ensuring that the visual storytelling aligns with the narrative and artistic goals of the project.

Question 8

A technique of editing that breaks the continuity of time by moving forward from one part of the action to another.&#10;A) jump cut&#10;B) montage&#10;C) synthesize&#10;D) viewpoint

Accepted Answer

A jump cut is a technique of editing where the continuity of time is broken by abruptly moving from one part of the action to another. It creates a sense of discontinuity that can be used to create a feeling of tension or to emphasize a particular moment in the story. Montage, synthesize, and viewpoint are all different techniques of editing that do not involve breaking the continuity of time in the same way as a jump cut.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

The theory that whoever controls the mise-en-scene (which includes visual elements such as set design, costume design, lighting, and camera angles) is the true author of the film is known as the auteur theory. This theory emphasizes the role of the director as the primary creative force behind a film, rather than other contributors like the screenwriter or producer.

Question 10

In filmmaking,a form of optical transition in which an invisible line moves across the screen,eliminating one shot and revealing the next.&#10;A) wipe&#10;B) lap dissolve&#10;C) fade&#10;D) jump cut

Accepted Answer

A wipe is the transition in which a line moves across the screen, replacing one shot with the next. It is often used to indicate a change in time or location, and can be executed in various shapes and directions, such as a diagonal wipe or a circular wipe.

B) Lap dissolve and C) Fade are not the correct choices as they are different types of transitions. Lap dissolve involves merging two shots together gradually by overlapping the images, while Fade involves gradually darkening the screen until it is completely black, or vice versa.

D) Jump cut is also not the correct choice as it is a jarring transition where the shot changes abruptly, without any visible transition. It is used for stylistic purposes and can create a sense of discontinuity or unease in the viewer.
