What does the term 'resolution' refer to in digital imaging and video production?
Answer: The number of pixels in an image, determining its level of detail
Resolution describes the total number of pixels in width × height, with higher resolution meaning more detail and sharper images.
In audio production, what is the function of a compressor?
Answer: To reduce the dynamic range between the loudest and softest parts of a signal
A compressor automatically turns down loud peaks and brings up quieter passages, resulting in a more consistent and polished audio level.
Which color model is most commonly used for digital screens and video displays?
Answer: RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Screens use RGB because they emit light by combining red, green, and blue at varying intensities to create all visible colors.
What is the primary role of a storyboard in video and film production?
Answer: To visually plan and sequence the shots before filming begins
A storyboard uses sequential sketches or images to map out each scene and camera angle, serving as a visual blueprint for the production.
In graphic design, what does 'kerning' refer to?
Answer: The adjustment of space between individual letter pairs in text
Kerning fine-tunes the spacing between specific character pairs to improve readability and visual balance in typography.
What does 'frame rate' (fps) measure in video production?
Answer: The number of individual frames displayed per second in a video
Frame rate measures how many still images appear each second; higher rates like 60fps produce smoother motion than standard 24fps.
