What effect is the basis for all motion picture technology?

• When still images change fast enough, they produce the optical illusion: a persistent image that is gradually changing form and position

• Lights have to feed the sensors in a camera that will capture any action that takes place (hence, "Lights, camera, action!")

• Storyboards must be constructed before the first motion picture is captured; this ensures that each still is properly accounted for so that the end product is ordered and logical

• Repetition creates movement

What phrase is attributed to the English-Swiss physicist Peter Mark Roget, who in the early 19th century used it to describe a particular ‘defect of the eye’ that resulted in a moving object appearing to be still when it reached a certain speed?

• Trick of the eye

• Imagination of motion

• Persistence of vision

• Motion picture technology

Who invented the phenakistoscope?

• Michelangelo

• Albert Einstein

• Jacques Cousteau

• Joseph Plateau

Research has shown that different the aspects of what the eye sees, like form, colour, depth, and motion, are transmitted to different areas of the ________ via different pathways from the ________.

• Iris, cornea

• Pupil, dilated pupil

• Visual cortex, retina

• Retina, visual cortex

So, the point at which we lose awareness of the intervals and begin to see apparent motion seems to kick in at around ________ frames per second.

• 16 - 20

• 8 - 12

• 4 - 8

• 0 - 4
