question 7 of 25
how could a videos file size be reduced so that it will take up less space on a computers hard drive?

a. by shooting it at a higher frame rate

b. by shooting it at a lower resolution

c. by shooting it at a higher resolution

d. by sampling the sound at the maximum rate

Explanation:

To reduce a video's file size, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Higher frame rate means more frames per second, increasing file size (more data), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Lower resolution means fewer pixels are used to represent the video. Fewer pixels result in less data, thus reducing file size. This is correct.
• Option C: Higher resolution means more pixels, increasing file size (more data), so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Sampling sound at maximum rate means more audio data, which would increase the overall file size (since video file includes audio), so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. By shooting it at a lower resolution
