Chapter 8 Quiz

  1. Red, green, and blue. Ordinary whitelight (sunlight) can be separated into the three primarylight colors. When these three colored lights are combinedin various proportions, all other colors can be reproduced.
  2. additive primary colors
  3. black light
  4. light plot
  5. attached shadow
  1. Shadow that is on the object itself. It cannotbe seen independent of (detached from) the object.
  2. additive primary colors
  3. black light
  4. light plot
  5. attached shadow
  1. Illumination of the set pieces and the backdrop.Also called set light.
  2. Back Light
  3. background light
  4. Baselight
  5. Contrast
  1. Illumination from behind the subject and oppositethe camera; usually a spotlight.
  2. Back Light
  3. background light
  4. Baselight
  5. Contrast
  1. Even, nondirectional (diff used) light necessary forthe camera to operate optimally. Refers to the overall lightintensity.
  2. Back Light
  3. background light
  4. Baselight
  5. Key light
  1. Shadow that is produced by an object and thrown(cast) onto another surface. It can be seen independent ofthe object.
  2. Background light
  3. Baselight
  4. keylight
  5. cast shadow
  1. Relative reddishness or bluishness of whitelight, as measured on the Kelvin (K) scale. The norm forindoor video lighting is 3,200K; for outdoors, 5,600K.
  2. color temperature
  3. diffused light
  4. key light
  5. RGB
  1. The difference between the brightest and the darkestspots in a video image.
  2. diffused light
  3. color temperature
  4. contrast
  5. light plot
  1. Light that illuminates a relatively large area andcreates soft shadows.
  2. diffused light
  3. color temperature
  4. contrast
  5. light plot
  1. Light that illuminates a relatively small area and creates harsh, clearly defined shadows.
  2. Key Light
  3. diffused light
  4. directional light
  5. fall off
  1. The speed (degree) with which a light picture portionturns into shadow areas. Fast falloff means that the lightareas turn abruptly into shadow areas and there is a great difference in brightness between light and shadow areas.Slow falloff indicates a very gradual change from light todark and a minimal brightness difference between lightand shadow areas.
  2. Key Light
  3. diffused light
  4. directional light
  5. fall off
  1. Additional light on the opposite side of the camerafrom the key light to illuminate shadow areas and therebyreduce it; usually done with floodlights.
  2. Background light
  3. Fill light
  4. keylight
  5. cast shadow
  1. A lighting instrument that produces diffused light.
  2. floodlight
  3. Fill light
  4. keylight
  5. cast shadow
  1. The unit of measurement of illumination, orthe amount of light that falls on an object. One foot-candleis 1 candlepower of light (1 lumen) that falls on a 1-squarefootarea located 1 foot away from the light source.
  2. Lux
  3. foot-candle (fc)
  4. Watt
  5. Volt
  1. Principal source of illumination; usually a spotlight.
  2. floodlight
  3. Fill light
  4. keylight
  5. cast shadow
  1. A plan, similar to a floor plan, that shows the type,size (wattage), and location of the lighting instrumentsrelative to the scene to be illuminated and the generaldirection of the light beams.
  2. Light Plot
  3. lighting notes
  4. timeline
  5. proposal
  1. Fast-falloff lighting with dark background andselectively illuminated areas. Has nothing to do with thevertical positioning of the key light.
  2. Floodlight
  3. low-key lighting
  4. high-key lighting
  5. lux
  1. European standard unit for measuring light intensity.One lux is 1 lumen (1 candlepower) of light that falls on asurface of 1 square meter located 1 meter away from thelight source. 10.75 lux = 1 foot-candle. Most lighting peoplefigure roughly 10 lux = 1 foot-candle.
  2. Lux
  3. foot-candle (fc)
  4. Watt
  5. Volt
  1. The triangular arrangement of key, back, and fill lights. Also called triangle, or three-point,lighting.
  2. photographic principle
  3. reflective lighting
  4. RGB
  5. Contrast
  1. Light that is bounced off the illuminated object. To measure reflected light, point the light meter close tothe object from the direction of the camera.
  2. lowlight
  3. reflected light
  4. photographic principals
  5. Lux
  1. The basic colors oftelevision.
  2. RGB - red, green, and blue
  3. ROB - red, orange, and blue
  4. RPB - red, purple, and blue
  1. A lighting instrument that produces directional, relatively undiffused light.
  2. spotlight
  3. floodlight
  4. unidirectional
  5. reflective lighting
  1. The triangular arrangement of key, back, and fill lights. Also called three-point lighting and photographicprinciple.
  2. spotlight
  3. triangular lighting
  4. unidirectional
  5. reflective lighting
  1. The adjustments of the color circuits in the camerato produce white color in lighting of various color temperatures(relative reddishness or bluishness of white light).
  2. white balance
  3. Diffused Light
  4. RGV
  5. RGB
