1 Why is film's subject matter described as complex?
Correct. The camera adds its own dimensions: movement through space, compression or expansion of time, and the close-up.
Film draws on several art forms at once. Look for the answer that names how many it combines.
2 Which shot fills the screen with a face or object?
Correct. A close-up places you inside a feeling, while a long shot places a person in a world.
An establishing shot sets the scene from far away, and a long shot shows distant figures. The shot that fills the screen is a close-up.
3 What is the difference between a continuity cut and a jump cut?
Correct. Both are tools of editing, the assembly of shots.
Continuity is about smoothness. A jump cut deliberately breaks it.
4 Cross-cutting is
Correct. Cross-cutting makes two events at once feel connected, as in the Odessa Steps when we cut between soldiers and fleeing crowds.
Cross-cutting alternates between two actions happening at the same time.
5 Montage is
Correct. In montage, the meaning comes from the editing: the rhythm of the cuts and the accumulation of visual shock.
Montage creates meaning by placing images side by side. The meaning is in the juxtaposition.
6 What does the concept of the auteur claim?
Correct. The idea came from French film criticism in the 1950s and remains influential.
Auteur is French for author. The claim concerns the director's unifying vision.
7 In the Odessa Steps sequence, where does the meaning come from?
Correct. No single shot tells the story. Eisenstein's montage creates chaos, terror, and injustice.
The sequence is famous because the editing, not any one shot, makes the effect.
8 What visual style did Orson Welles use in the opening of Citizen Kane?
Correct. Deep focus keeps foreground and background sharp. Welles was 25 when he directed the film.
Welles's visual style used deep focus and long takes. The opening uses dissolves toward a mansion.
9 In Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, why is architecture described as content and not just setting?
Correct. Bong designed the Park house for the film, so architecture functions as artistic form within another art form.
The lesson says the houses' positions up and down the hill are inseparable from the film's subject, inequality.
10 What did Georges Méliès add to early cinema in A Trip to the Moon?
Correct. As a stage magician, Méliès saw that the camera could create illusions as well as record.
Méliès was a magician. His film uses staged sets and camera tricks that make things appear and vanish.
