What role does the puppeteer play in shadow play?
Designing costumes
Writing the script only
Adjusting the screen brightness
Controlling puppet movement and narration
What happens when a light source is moved closer to an object?
The shadow becomes smaller
The shadow becomes sharper
The shadow becomes larger
Which angle of light creates the largest shadow?
Directly above the object
At a 45-degree angle
Parallel to the screen
Directly behind the object
How does a translucent puppet differ from an opaque one?
Translucent puppets allow partial light
Translucent puppets block all light
Translucent puppets create colored shadows
Opaque puppets create no shadows
If an object is placed farther from the screen, its shadow will:
Become blurrier
Stay the same size
Become smaller
Become larger
What effect does a colored light filter have?
Changes the shadow’s shape
Adds color to the shadow
Makes the shadow brighter
Reduces shadow size
