The three elements that affect exposure (the "exposure triangle") are:
Answer: ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed
Media Aesthetics
- You often need more lighting instruments for controlling the shadows than you do when your goal is to just make something visible. T or F
- _______ is the deliberate manipulation of light and shadows for a specific communication purpose.
- As you speed up the shutter, you are letting more light in. T or F
- Anything slower than 1 second (the shutter remains open for one second) will need to use a tripod or some other type of image stabilization because "camera shake" will be visible.
- An aperture of f/2.8 lets less light in through the lens than an aperture of f/22. T or F
- Changing the aperture not only affects the light coming into your lens, but also the Depth of Field (the foreground, middleground, and background, and how much of each is in crisp focus). T or F
- If you increase the Aperture by one step and decrease the Shutter Speed by one step, you actually end up letting in the exact same amount of light as you did before the two adjustments. T or F
- When you INCREASE the ISO (for example, an ISO of 3200), which of the following are TRUE
- "The great thing about digital cameras is that they are the ideal testing bed for learning about exposure. You can take as many shots as you like at no cost and they not only allow you to shoot in Auto mode and Manual mode - but also generally have _________ modes like aperture priority (Av) and shutter priority (Tv) modes which allow you to make decisions about one or two elements of the triangle and let the camera handle the other elements.
- In the "sunbaking" metaphor, which element is represented by "sunscreen"?
- The three elements that make up the "exposure triangle" cannot be manipulated without affecting the others (a change in one of the elements will impact the others). T or F
- Which Image-Recording Quality setting will yield a "High Quality" image while still only taking up 6.4 MB (megabytes) of space on the card?
- The dioptric adjustment knob allows the viewfinder to be adjusted for clarity (affecting only the viewfinder and not the image itself). T or F
- You can disable the flash to prevent it from firing if the situation requires it.
- In Manual Exposure Mode , which settings can you adjust?
- Aperture controls the depth of field (what is in focus). What camera mode does your camera need to be in to manually adjust the aperture (without going fully manual)?
- To create motion blur or freeze action, you need to manually adjust the shutter speed. Which camera mode does your camera have to be in to adjust the shutter speed (without going completely manual)?
- What are the steps to get a crisp focus in manual focus?
- Before removing the card from the camera, you should turn the camera OFF. T or F
- Formatting the card (on both cameras) will erase everything EXCEPT protected images on the card. T or F
- What is one major difference between the Canon T5i camera and the Canon XSi Camera?
- Because the process of clarification, intensification, and interpretation of events is based on the selection and the specific use of aesthetic elements, the recipient's perceptions are indirectly and, more often, directly _______.
- The basic purpose of applied media aesthetics is to clarify, intensify, and interpret events for a specific audience. T or F
- You must learn how to develop and mold an idea so that it fits the medium's technical as well as aesthetic production and reception requirements. This molding process, called _______, presupposes a thorough knowledge of such production tools as cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, and so forth as well as applied aesthetics, such as selective focus, the proper framing of a shot, the use of color, the selection of music, and the sequencing of various parts of a scene.
