the main directions of a rectangular television or movie screen are

Back 22

vertical and horizontal

Back 23

fasle

Front 24

this image illustrates how using the magnetism of the top edge helps intensity the danger of working up high

Back 24

true

Front 25

the new structure that is created through psychological closure is often called

Back 25

gestalt

Front 26

the types of vectors according to zettl are

Back 26

Back 27

false

Front 28

psychological closure leads to gestalt

Back 28

true

Front 29

using the magnetic force of a screen edge will not help emphasize the width of an object

Back 29

false

Front 30

objects placed in the left half of the screen command more attention than if they were placed in the right half because of a symmetry of the screen

Back 30

false

Front 31

what is the effect of tilting (canting) the horizontal plane

Back 31

the picture becomes less stable

Front 32

among the vector types, motion vectors have the lowest magnitude

Back 32

false

Front 33

the larger graphic mass

Back 33

the greater its graphic weight

Front 34

motion vectors have a relatively high magnitude because their screen direction is most conspicuous or noticeable

Back 34

true

Front 35

this painting illustrates how using the pull of side edges helps intensify the agony of hanging from the cross

Back 35

false

Front 36

what creates an index vector

Back 36

an arrow

Front 37

why do we leave headroom in a normal close up of a persons face

Back 37

to neutralize the magnetism of the frame

Front 38

what creates a motion vector

Back 38

an object moving on screen

Front 39

graphic vectors have a relatively high magnitude because their screen direction is most cospicous or noticeable

Back 39

false

Front 40

continuing vectors point in the same direction converging vectors point toward each other and diverging vectors point away from each other

Back 40

true

Front 41

regardless of what direction we learned to write from, we seem to read diagonals from left to right

Back 41

true

Front 42

what does asymmetry of the screen mean

Back 42

objects placed in the right half of the screen command more attention if they were placed in the left half

Front 43

the magnetic pull of the side edges can make objects in a normally spaced long shot appear closer in a tighter shot

Back 43

false

Front 44

we tend to pay more attention to an object when it is paced on the right side rather than the left side of the screen

Back 44

true

Front 45

the right left aysmmetry of the screen determines whether we perceive a slant as going uphill or downhill

Back 45

true

Front 46

the figure is more stable than the ground

Back 46

false

Front 47

probably the strongest forces operating within the screen which lead our eyes from one pint to another within or even outside the picture field are

Back 47

directional forces

Front 48

horizontal lines seem to suggest normalcy calm tranquility and rest while vertical lines seem more dynamic powerful and exciting

Back 48

true

Front 49

strong index vectors pointing screen center can override the magnetism of the frame

Back 49

true

Front 50

a vector is any aesthetic element that leads us in a specific space, emotional, or time direction

emphasizing the horizontal within the frame does all of the following except

Back 53

suggest power and stregnth

Front 54

a large graphic mass is less likely to be disturbed in its course than a small one

Back 54

true

Front 55

a vector on screen indicates a main direction that has been established either by implication or by actual seen motion

Back 55

true

Front 56

continuing vectors establish a specific single direction, while converging vectors point toward each other either in a single shot or a series of shots

Back 56

using the magnetic pull of entire frame is not recommend for framing closeups

Back 57

true
