What distinguishes film photography from digital photography in terms of the creative process?

  1. The use of physical film instead of digital sensors

  2. The tangible and unique nature of film grain

  3. The slower pace and deliberate approach required

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Film photography involves the use of physical film, which imparts a unique and tangible quality to the images. The slower pace and deliberate approach required in film photography often lead to more thoughtful and intentional compositions.

Which film photography technique is known for creating dreamy and ethereal effects?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Pinhole photography


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cross-processing is a technique in which a film is developed in chemicals intended for a different type of film, resulting in unique and often unpredictable color shifts and effects.

What is the primary factor that determines the sensitivity of film to light?

  1. Film speed or ISO rating

  2. Aperture size

  3. Shutter speed

  4. Focal length


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Film speed or ISO rating indicates the sensitivity of the film to light. Higher ISO ratings result in greater sensitivity, allowing for shooting in low-light conditions.

Which film photography technique involves intentionally exposing the film to light multiple times?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Pinhole photography


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Double exposure is a technique in which two or more images are captured on the same frame of film, creating a unique and often surreal composite image.

What is the primary advantage of using a pinhole camera in film photography?

  1. Increased depth of field

  2. Wide-angle perspective

  3. Long exposure capabilities

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pinhole cameras offer increased depth of field, wide-angle perspective, and long exposure capabilities, making them ideal for creative and experimental photography.

Which film photography technique involves using a toy camera with plastic lenses?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Pinhole photography


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lomography is a style of photography that involves using toy cameras with plastic lenses, resulting in unique and often distorted images.

What is the primary advantage of using medium format film cameras in film photography?

  1. Larger negative size and higher image quality

  2. Faster shutter speeds

  3. Wider aperture capabilities

  4. Increased depth of field


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Medium format film cameras offer a larger negative size compared to 35mm cameras, resulting in higher image quality and resolution.

Which film photography technique involves intentionally underexposing the film to create a high-contrast, dramatic look?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Push processing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Push processing is a technique in which the film is intentionally underexposed and then developed in chemicals designed for a higher ISO rating, resulting in a high-contrast, dramatic look.

What is the primary advantage of using a rangefinder camera in film photography?

  1. Compact size and portability

  2. Accurate focusing

  3. Faster shutter speeds

  4. Wider aperture capabilities


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Rangefinder cameras offer accurate focusing, making them ideal for street photography and other situations where quick and precise focusing is essential.

Which film photography technique involves using a camera with a rotating back to create panoramic images?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Panoramic photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Panoramic photography involves using a camera with a rotating back to capture a wide, continuous image, often used for landscape and cityscape photography.

Which film photography technique involves using a camera with a bellows to achieve extreme close-up shots?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Macro photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Macro photography involves using a camera with a bellows or specialized lens to achieve extreme close-up shots, often used for capturing small subjects and details.

What is the primary advantage of using a large format film camera in film photography?

  1. Extremely high image quality and resolution

  2. Faster shutter speeds

  3. Wider aperture capabilities

  4. Increased depth of field


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Large format film cameras offer extremely high image quality and resolution due to their large negative size.

Which film photography technique involves using a camera with a rotating lens to create unique and distorted images?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Tilt-shift photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tilt-shift photography involves using a camera with a rotating lens to create unique and distorted images, often used for architectural and landscape photography.

What is the primary advantage of using a Holga camera in film photography?

  1. Unique and unpredictable image quality

  2. Faster shutter speeds

  3. Wider aperture capabilities

  4. Increased depth of field


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Holga cameras are known for their unique and unpredictable image quality due to their plastic lenses and light leaks.

Which film photography technique involves using a camera with a pinhole instead of a lens to create unique and ethereal images?

  1. Cross-processing

  2. Double exposure

  3. Lomography

  4. Pinhole photography


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pinhole photography involves using a camera with a pinhole instead of a lens to create unique and ethereal images with a wide depth of field.
