CTVA 300 FINAL EXAMS STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS 2026
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Depth cues. Answer: the visual elements that create the illusion of
depth, what increases/decreases sense of depth
⩥ Deep space. Answer: - the illusion of depth on a 2D surface created by
the use of depth cues
⩥ Flat space. 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. 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. 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. Answer: - depth of field - Range of distances from a camera in
which objects appear in focus. Focus point determines depth of field.
⩥ Axis. 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. 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. 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. Answer: - if a subject is in a different spot shot to
shot
⩥ Image replacement. 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 next shot is a different face in the new shot but in the
exact same place as the face before. When the audience is drawn to a
certain section of the screen and then we cut to the next shot which has a
subject in the exact spot on the pervious frame.
