SSM TEST 3 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
True or False: Over the past decade, we have graduated from an electronic society to a
highly mobile one in which much of the actual movement involves objects and people. -
Answer -False
True or False: One of the unique powers of TV is that it can clarify, intensify, and
interpret an event to a potential world audience almost instantly while the event is in the
process of becoming. - Answer -True
True or False: The subjective time of an actual event and the televised event are
inevitably tied to each other when the telecast is live. - Answer -False
True or False: Instant replays have coincidentally become a way of revealing the
complexity of the moment, permitting a quick view of the immediate past and its
consequences for the present. - Answer -True
True or False: If you are totally unaware that a screen event is a delayed version of a
live telecast, your involvement may well be as intense as if you were watching a truly
live broadcast. - Answer -True
Which three factors can be used to control subjective time? - Answer -Event density,
experience intensity, and event intensity
True or False: There are proven techniques to influence the audience's objective time,
that is, make them perceive an event as "long" or "short". - Answer -False
True or False: According to Zettl, classic films or video programs cannot resist aesthetic
entropy because they are packed with so much aesthetic power and density that their
entropic atrophy is extremely slow. - Answer -False
True or False: In the conscious present, which proceeds the unconscious one, we are
simply bombarded with whatever happens around us. - Answer -False
What is the most appropriate measure of relative energy in a scene? - Answer -Event
intensity
True or False: The measurement of objective time depends on how involved we are in
the event. - Answer -False
Which of the following is a type of time that Zettl defines and discusses? - Answer -
Subjective
, True or False: When video recording, the video or film event is now largely medium-
dependent. - Answer -True
True or False: The basic structure of video and film is the still image. - Answer -False
True or False: According to Zettl, we believe that the flow of time is reversible, meaning
the horizontal time vector can move in many directions. - Answer -False
Biological Time: - Answer -Regulates body functions
Event Intensity: - Answer -Relative energy perceived about a specific event
Dramaturgy: - Answer -Structure of a play
Live-Recording: - Answer -Uninterrupted video recording for later playback
Instant Replays: - Answer -Recording event highlight for immediate playback
Which of the traditional divisions of the time vector cannot have a specific address? -
Answer -Present
True or False: The time vectors in edited video are largely dependent on the actual
event. - Answer -False
True or False: Event intensity is the relative number of event details that occur within a
brief objective time period. - Answer -False
True or False: The same screen action can produce subjective-time vectors of entirely
different magnitudes depending on whether the viewer knows the outcome of the event.
- Answer -True
True or False: Vector fields in video and film are not static but continually changing
either within a shot or from shot to shot. - Answer -True
True or False: Objective time regulates the behavior of almost all people on earth. -
Answer -True
True or False: Instant replays do not interrupt the flow of the actual event or create an
event rhythm all their own. - Answer -False
True or False: According to Zettl, we believe that the flow of time is irreversible,
meaning the horizontal time vector moves in only one direction. - Answer -True
True or False: Event intensity refers to the number of relevant experiences we go
through either simultaneously or in rapid succession and to the relative impact such
event have on us. - Answer -False
