What is a Pixel?
An area of illumination in a screen that makes up an image.
______ should be used for video projects.
Resolution
True or false? Storyboards are used to help organize a narrative/plan a project's visual and narrative flow.
True
Why is typography used?
It enhances readability, establishes a clear visual hierarchy, conveys tone and brand identity, and creates a compelling user experience
What is resolution?
The level of detail in an image, measured by the number of pixels.
I adjusted the ________ to let in more light for the indoor photo shoot.
Aperture
True or false? The three colours pixel are made up of are: Red, yellow, & blue.
False
Why is codec important?
It reduces the massive size of uncompressed digital media files, making them practical for storage, transmission, and playback.
What are file formats?
A file format is the way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.
_____ can be used to describe an images shape.
Aspect Ratio
True or false? Aperature and shutter speed work together to create a well-exposed image.
True
Why is it important to have more pixels on a tv screen?
It results in a higher resolution, which allows for sharper, clearer, and more detailed images.
What is aspect ratio?
The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of something, for example, 4:6.
_______ is used to upload files more efficiently.
Compression
True or False? A bigger screen reduces pixel density.
True.
Why is aperture and shutter speed used together?
Because they're the two main components of the exposure triangle, which work in conjunction to achieve a correctly exposed photograph.
What are vector graphics?
Digital graphics that are created by using mathematical formulas for points, lines, curves, and shapes, and can be scaled without any loss in image quality (not get pixilated)
______ is a format of hardware that decompresses files.
Codec
True or false? Vector graphics change quality based on scale.
False
Why is vector graphics better than raster?
Vector graphics are better than raster graphics because they're infinitely scalable without losing quality, as they're based on mathematical equations rather than a fixed grid of pixels.
