  1. has more reddish-yellow light
  2. has more blue light
  3. has a higher color temperature
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

 

 

3   Sunlight contains more red light during sunrises and sunsets because

 

  1. the air through which the light passes is, itself, redder in the mornings and evenings
  2. the sun is closer to the earth in the morning and evening
  3. sunlight must travel through more of the earth's atmosphere at these times
  4. as the sun revolves around the earth it picks up red light

 

4   Instead of a relatively smooth mix of colors from infrared to ultraviolet this light source typically has sharp bands or spikes of color, primarily in the blue-green area

 

  1. standard fluorescent light
  2. incandescent light
  3. HMI lights
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

 

5   Another name for light quality is

 

  1. intensity
  2. chroma
  3. character
  4. coherence
  5. brightness

 

 

6   In video-related computer programs rendering is the process of

 

  1. making a hand drawing of a TV graphic
  2. computer-based "fleshing out" of video illustrations and effects from basic data
  3. making the final edited master of a production
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

 

 

7   If you wanted to bring out maximum surface detail in a subject you should use a

 

  1. Fresnel light
  2. diffused light
  3. hard light
  4. lighting tent

 

 

8   A soft light effect can be created with

 

  1. flat lighting
  2. an umbrella reflector
  3. a diffuser
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

 

 

9   For decades the primary type of lighting instrument used in studios has been the

 

  1. Fresnel light
  2. beam-spot projector
  3. HMI light
  4. softlight
  5. neon light

 

 

10   Reflected light meters

 

  1. can be fooled by windows, lights, and bright backgrounds
  2. assume average subject matter
  3. can be used at the camera position
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

 

 

11   The best type of light meter for setting up and balancing the intensities of various studio lights would be a(n)

 

  1. reflected light meter
  2. spectral meter
  3. incident mater
  4. incandescent meter
  5. luminescent meter

 

 

12   You can vary light intensity on a subject by moving lights closer and farther away. If you wanted to cut the intensity of a light to one-fourth of its original intensity you would

 

  1. move the light closer to the subject
  2. move the light 1/4 the distance away
  3. move the light twice as far away
  4. move the light to a point four times the original distance

 

 

13   The problem with using dimmers as they relate to color temperature is that they

 

  1. raise color temperature
  2. create blue-green spikes in the color spectrum
  3. dramatically change the quality or coherence of the light
  4. lower color temperature
  5. increase the brightness of lights

 

 

14   The tungsten-halogen lamps used in TV production are commonly called

 

  1. quartz lights
  2. xeon lights
  3. PAL lamps
  4. neon lamps
  5. HMI lights

 

 

15   In using quartz lamps you must

 

  1. remember to replace them using a cloth to make sure you don't get fingerprints on the lamp
  2. not subject them to severe jolts while they are on
  3. respect the fact that they get very hot
  4. All of the above are correct.
  5. None of the answers is correct.

  1. Fresnel
  2. scoop
  3. softlight
  4. florescent light
  5. ellipsoidal spot

  1. barn doors
  2. diffuser
  3. a cookie
  4. an ellipse

  3. are dedicated exclusively to lower-third titles
  4. Two of the above are correct
  5. None of the answers is correct.
