RTV 3001 EXAM #1 || 100% ERROR-FREE SOLUTIONS.
three components of a story correct answers exposition, conflict, resolution
two devices/techniques for exposition correct answers title card and voice-over narration
what specifically is the point of resolution correct answers provides a place for the story to finish
and gives audience a chance to reflect
what are the two types of conflict correct answers internal and external
why can a filmmaker/photographer NOT ignore the visual components? correct answers the
components are always communicating moods, emotions, and ideas to the audience. Left
uncontrolled, the visual components can inadvertently contradict the storytelling, mislead the
audience, or simply bore them
what is amplification? correct answers when 2 scenes are properly contrasted, their differences
heighten the effect of each other
define the "picture plane" and give examples correct answers 2D surface where pictures exist;
usually surrounded by a "window" (i.e. frame in a museum, a curtain in a movie theater, plastic
edge of a TV screen). When we compose a shot using a camera's viewfinder or use our hands, we
look through a picture frame
define the principle of contrast and affinity (in relation to visual components) correct answers the
greater the contrast in a visual component, the more the visual intensity of the picture increases.
The greater the affinity in a visual component the more the visual intensity of the picture
decreases
2 part question: which visual component usually catches the viewer's eye first? which usual
component is the most misunderstood? correct answers movement
color
name the 7 visual components correct answers movement, color, shape, line, rhythm, tone, space
what is a depth cue? correct answers depth cues give us visual experience of seeing 3-
dimensional space on a 2D surface
name the most important depth cue and 3 examples of it correct answers Convergence
3 kinds: 1, 2, and 3 point convergence
Name and define the second most important depth cue correct answers Staging in Depth/Size
Change: When you position objects and actors in the foreground, midground and background to
create depth, objects in the FG will appear large while objects in BG will appear smaller
Define textural diffusion correct answers Objects closer to the camera have more textural detail
, Name the 3 effects of aerial diffusion correct answers loss of detail
loss of tonal contrast
change in color (to color of aerial diffusion itself)
Describe flat space correct answers If all objects are on the same frontal plane (i.e. FG), flat
space is maintained, which emphasizes the 2-dimensional quality of the screen surface
Define ambiguous space correct answers Viewer is unable to understand the actual size or spatial
relationships of objects
What is occlusion and why is it used? correct answers You have one object in front overlapping
another object in the background, which creates the illusion of depth.
Name 2 examples of how ambiguous space can be created correct answers Camouflage - (size)
cues are disguised Mirrors/reflections: Multiple images can disorient viewer Disorienting
Camera Angles
Define Limited Space with 3 characteristics correct answers The specific combination of deep
and flat space cues: No convergence; instead, use of flat frontal planes, Object movement should
only be parallel to the picture plane, Requires visually separated FG, MG and BG
How do things change visually in different parts of "The World of Tomorrow"? correct answers
The brown, washed out look of the museum where David is kept evokes the smell of the wood
and sense of being in the museum
What 2 types of exposition are used in "Isle of Dogs"? correct answers Jupiter narrates, there are
also several title cards, and text before new scenes
How do we see contrast of shape in "Isle of Dogs"? correct answers squares and rectangles of
city vs. curved lines and circles of Trash Island
Describe how use of 1 visual component in "Isle of Dogs" enhances the narrative correct answers
Themes of deportation, internment in prison camp, and threat of extermination; all examined
from victim's point of view (we see through lines of Spot's cage as he's dropped down)
"The Favourite": How is camera angle tied to the narrative? correct answers Lower camera angle
renders position of commoners looking up at royals
Which of following is NOT one of the three basic components of a story? correct answers climax
Resolution is important because it does all of following EXCEPT: correct answers provides
background
Which of these is internal conflict from "World of Tomorrow"? correct answers Clone Emily
desires to be more human
