Hint 13

A. maintain neutral density

B eliminate the negative

D. balance the density

E. increase the density

Front 14

According to Zettl, classic films or video programs resist aesthetic entropy because they are packed with so much aesthetic power and density that their entropic atrophy is extremely slow.

Back 14

True

Hint 14

True or False

Much of the aesthetic energy of television seems to come not only from the events themselves but from the knowledge that they are live, happening right now.

True

Hint 21

True or False

Front 22

Vector fields in video and film are not static but continually changing either within a shot or from shot to shot.

Back 22

True

Hint 22

True or False

Back 25

False

Hint 25

True or False

Front 26

Front 29

In the unconscious present, which precedes the conscious one, we are simply bombarded with whatever happens around us.

Back 29

True

Hint 29

AS soon as you become aware that program is a recording, the magnitude of the subjective-time vector - your involvement - ineveitably increases.

New media allow us a telepresence, the ability to view and affect an event without actually being there.

Back 33

True

Hint 33

True or False

Front 34

time vector

Back 34

Normally experience time

Front 35

If you are totally unaware that a screen event is a delayed version of a live telecast, your involvement cannot be as intense as if you were watching a truly live broadcast.

Back 35

Back 36

True

Hint 36

Back 38

True

Hint 38

True or False

Front 39

Hint 41

A. many things occurring in a short time

B. number and degree of high-energy events

C. number and degree of relevant experiences

D. logical plot progression

E. only high-energy events

Front 42

C. present

Hint 43

A. past

B. motion vector

C. present
