CTVA 300 Midterm Exam Questions and
Answers Graded A+
Aspect ratios - Correct answer-The relationship of width to height in a picture or
shape. - original black and white films- 4:3 aspect ratio - modern films are more
rectangular/wide screen which can add more elements to the frame 1.33.1,
Depth cues - Correct answer-the visual elements that create the illusion of depth,
what increases/decreases sense of depth
Deep space - Correct answer-- the illusion of depth on a 2D surface created by the
use of depth cues
Flat space - Correct answer-- feeling of dimensionality - achieved by parallel lines,
no convergence of lines - shooting perpendicularly to surfaces - contains no
reference to or feeling of dimensionality
Limited space - Correct answer-- Is a specific combination of deep and flat space
cues. limited space does not use longitudinal planes and object movement
perpendicular to the frame.

, Ambiguous space - Correct answer-- Occurs when the viewer is unable to
understand the actual size or spatial relationships of objects in the picture. can be
created by using lack of movement, objects or unknown size or shape, tonal and
texture patterns, mirrors and reflections, disorienting camera angles - usually
creates anxiety, tension or confusion.
DOF - Correct answer-- depth of field - Range of distances from a camera in which
objects appear in focus. Focus point determines depth of field.
Axis - Correct answer-- Objects have an invisible axis that runs through them
perceived as a line - a standing person has a vertical axis, a reclining person has a
horizontal axis
Continuity shots - Correct answer-- some element of shot A appears again in shot
B. both actors present in the shot and actions are matched on cuts.
Separation shots - Correct answer-- when actor a is looking off-screen at actor b
then we cut to actor b and they are looking off to screen at actor a. it's possible that
separation shots were taken on different days/locations.
Image separation - Correct answer-- if a subject is in a different spot shot to shot
Image replacement - Correct answer-- Infiniti of a subject's placement from shot to
shot- not same subject sometimes, if you're looking at a face in one shot and the
