GFA LIGHTING & ELECTRIC QUIZZES | TEST 6
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
- THE QUALITY OF LIGHT
The smaller the source, the harder the light - Answers - True
if you place a 4x4 piece of diffusion in front of a light, does that make
it a soft light? - Answers - not necessarily
what will produce the hardest light? - Answers - the sun
in general, what is the best way to make the light softer? - Answers - make the source
bigger
the main function of the key light is - Answers - to reveal the shape of the subject
What two main factors determine the hardness/softness(specular quality) of the source.
- Answers - the size of the source relative to the size of the subject, the distance from
the source to the subject
Which of the following is true? - Answers - A & B, A. the bigger the source, relative to
the size of the subject, the softer the light, B. the smaller the source, relative to the size
of the subject, the harder the light
The closer the subject creating the shadow is to the surface receivingthe shadow, the
_____________ the resulting shadow will be. - Answers - harder
Of the following, which one would produce the softest light? - Answers - a very overcast
sky
Which produces a sharper shadow, full spot or full flood? - Answers - full flood
In regard to apparent softness, which of the following holds true? - Answers - all of the
above
Will moving the light away from the subject make the light harder
or softer? - Answers - harder
Which of the following is an attribute of feature film lighting? - Answers - the "one
Source" look
if we have a 5K fresnel projecting through a 12x12 diffusion,what is considered the
source? - Answers - the 12x12
, if we have a 4x4 source very close to the subject but have tmove it back 60 feet, wht do
we need in order to maintain the same quality - Answers - a much bigger source and
more light
if you move a flag away from the source, the resulting shadowwill be - Answers -
sharper
why is a fresnel that is full flood sharper than on full spot? - Answers - because it is a
relatively much smaller source
what attribute should be in play if the desired result from a sourceis that it be as hard as
possible? - Answers - that there is as much distance between the source and the
subject as possible, all things considered
there is a shadow of a house stretching across the back yard. Why isthe part of the
shadow closest to the house sharper than the part furtheraway? - Answers - because
the shadow closest to the house is closer to the
object producing the shadow
assuming there is some space between the two diffusion materials
what two things can you achieve by double diffusing a light? - Answers - the source will
be softer and the exposure will decrease
what is the main objective of bouncing a light? - Answers - to make the source bigger
does there always have to be a key light? - Answers - No
what is the main function of the back light? - Answers - to separate the foreground from
the background
what is the main function of the fill light? - Answers - to adjust the density of the
shadows
must there always be a fill light? - Answers - No
when lighting a shot, should we always keep the 3-pointlighting theory in mind? -
Answers - No
must the key light always be a hard light? - Answers - No
what is the main feature of an open key light? - Answers - the subject is looking towards
the direction of the light
should you cross the established axis of the light? - Answers - it is a matter of
preference
