True |
True or False |
|
Would a fully scripted drama gain from being telecast live? |
E. no, because it does not have an open future |
A. yes, because something unplanned may happen B. yes, because it has more energy C. yes, because it facilitates viewer involvement D. no, because it is too difficult to do E. no, because it does not have an open future |

True |
True or False |
|
The time we measure by the clock is called: |
B. objective time |
A. subjective time B. objective time C. familiar time D. biological time |
|
Experience intensity is less dependent on how much the event means to you and more dependent on the relative energy or density of the event. |
False |
True or False |
|
Which three factors can be used to control subjective time? |
D. event density, experience intensity, and event intensity |
A. event intensity, speed, and experience B. duration, event intensity, and length C. event density, number of events within a given time segment, and event speed D. event density, experience intensity, and event intensity E. event density, speed, and biological time |
|
When video recording, the video or film event is now largely medium-dependent |
True |
True or False |
|
In order to get the same amount of information in a program of shorter running time, you must: |
E. increase the density |
A. maintain neutral density B eliminate the negative C. decrease the density D. balance the density E. increase the density |
|
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. |
True |
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 |
True or False |
|

|
Live television is inevitably tied to a unidirectional time vector. |
True |
True or False |
|
Vector fields in video and film are not static but continually changing either within a shot or from shot to shot. |
True |
True or False |
|
Experience intensity is the relative number of event details that occur within a brief objective time period. |
False |
True or False |
|
When doing a live pickup of an ice-hockey game, how can you manipulate event time once the game is under way? |
E. not at all |
A. through frequent instant replays B. through increasing experience density C. through increasing event intensity D. through increasing event density E. not at all |
|
Biological time is a personal experience that depends very much on how you feel and what you do. |
False |
True or False |
|
There are proven techniques to influence the audience's subjective time, that is, make them perceive an event as "long" or "short" |
True |
True or False |
|

C. clock |
A. biological B. psychological C. clock D. subjective E. felt |
|
The time we measure by the clock is called: |
D. objective time |
A. familiar time B. biological time C. subjective time D. objective time |
|
In the unconscious present, which precedes the conscious one, we are simply bombarded with whatever happens around us. |
True |
True or False |
|
Experience intensity is less dependent on how much the event means to you and more dependent on the relative energy or density of the event |
False |
True or False |
|
AS soon as you become aware that program is a recording, the magnitude of the subjective-time vector - your involvement - ineveitably increases. |
False |
True or False |
|
Instant replays do not interrupt the flow of the actual event or create an event rhythm all their own. |
False |
True or False |
|
New media allow us a telepresence, the ability to view and affect an event without actually being there. |
True |
True or False |
|
time vector |
Normally experience time |

|
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. |
False |
True or False |
|
Objective time regulates the behavior of almost all people on earth. |
True |
True or False |
|
One of the unique powers of television is that it can clarify, intensity, and interpret an event to a potential world audience almost instantly while the event is in the process of becoming. |
True |

|
Instant replays are recordings of event highlights that are played back immediately after they occurred in the actual event. |
True |
True or False |
|
The only control you have over clock time when originating a live program is the starting and end times of the telecast and when you temporarily cut away for commercials or other announcements. |
True |
True or False |
|
