Thought you'd escape this class without a written exam? What were you thinking? Be prepared. For those of you that are checking the bulletin board, here's a little ten question preview of the test.
The test is comprised of four parts, covering the production process, the reading assignment, the class bulletin board, and the VFX business in general.
If you've been paying attention, should be no problem. If you still don't have the class text, better haul a over to the library as soon as possible.
1. What are dailies and why are they so important to the visual effects production process? What is the term used to describe the analogous event that occurs in the late afternoon?
2. Name five of the ten rules of dailies. (Week Three Lecture Outline)
3. Why is it so important to present a ‘can-do’ attitude and communicate well with production? With your supervisor?
4. Would you typically find high-key lighting design in a horror picture? Why or why not?
6. Name the last film in which ILM contributed the majority of visual effects work and was nominated for an Oscar™ in the category of Best Visual Effects. (see the Op Vox thread in Discussion Week Seven)
7. Name visual effects companies from three different countries and a feature film for which each has provided effects. Indicate whether or not the film was nominated for an Academy Award in Visual Effects.
8. What does the term, broad strokes, mean? How does it apply to the visual effects process? (Check out the class glossary.)
9. Name at least five artistic positions other than Technical Director or Animator in visual effects production.
10. Name at least two uses of a depth render in a composite.
