Question

question 9
what is a gauge?
film stocks light sensitivity
dimensions of physical film stock
packages and repackages captured data
fast stock has more, and slow stock has less

question 10
what is the role of the cinematographer?
uses the camera to capture still images on a film set
working independently, they are the sole author of a film
working in competition with the director of photography, they capture an alternate set of film images
uses the camera to capture moving images on a film set

Explanation:

Define film gauge

In Film Analysis, the term "gauge" refers to the physical width of the film stock, measured in millimeters (e.g., 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, 70mm). This determines the physical dimensions of the film strip used in the camera and projector.

Identify correct option for Question 9

The options for Question 9 are:

1. "film stock's light sensitivity" (This is film speed or ISO/ASA).
2. "dimensions of physical film stock" (This matches the definition of gauge).
3. "packages and repackages captured data" (This relates to digital codecs or processing).
4. "fast stock has more, and slow stock has less" (This refers to grain or sensitivity).

Therefore, the correct choice is the second option.

Define the role of the cinematographer

In Cinematic Language, the cinematographer (or Director of Photography) is responsible for the camera and lighting crews, and specifically for capturing moving images on film or digital media.

Identify correct option for Question 10

The options for Question 10 are:

1. "uses the camera to capture still images on a film set" (This is a still photographer).
2. "working independently, they are the sole author of a film" (This contradicts the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the auteur theory usually associated with directors).
3. "working in competition with the director of photography..." (The cinematographer is the director of photography).
4. "uses the camera to capture moving images on a film set" (This correctly defines their primary operational role).

Therefore, the correct choice is the fourth option.
