1 Pretest The following are the items comprising the pretest. This assessment was distributed to the two target learners prior to administration of the draft instructional module.

Pretest

Name Start time End time

Please use the images displayed below to answer the following three questions.

Suppose you would like to recreate the photo shown below. Your camera’s aperture and shutter speed settings are currently set to f/8 and 1/60.

1. What exposure effect are you trying to produce?

2. What should your first adjustment be? What is a possible setting?

3. What should your second adjustment be? What is this setting?

2 Posttest The following are the items comprising the posttest. This assessment was distributed to the two target learners prior to administration of the draft instructional module. Correct answers are indicated in bold.

Posttest

Name Start time End time

Read each question and identify the correct answer by circling the correct option or writing the correct answer on the lines provided.

1. Your friend would like you to take a photograph of his dog chasing a tennis ball into

a pool. He likes pictures showing dogs caught in the air just before splashing into the water. Which type of exposure effect would create this photograph for your friend?

A. Depth of field effect B. Motion effect

2. Consider the photograph of a dragonfly (see below). The insect is very close to you,

and the grass extending into the background of the photograph appears fuzzy. Which of the two types of depth of field effects does this photograph exhibit?

A. Shallow depth of field B. Deep depth of field C. Freeze motion D. Blur motion

3

3. Consider this photograph of a tennis player (see below). The woman’s arm and racquet are fuzzy as she runs to return the ball. Which type of exposure effect does this photograph exhibit?

A. Shallow depth of field B. Deep depth of field C. Freeze motion D. Blur motion

4. Consider this image of an aperture scale (see below). Which f-stop would allow the

most light for exposure?

A. f/11 B. f/4 C. f/16 D. f/5.6

4

5. Consider this image of a shutter speed scale (see below). Which measurement would allow the least amount of time for exposure?

A. 1/60 B. 1/15 C. 1/125 D. 1/8

6. In order to produce a photograph with a shallow depth of field, what is the first

adjustment you should make?

A. Select a narrower aperture B. Select a wider aperture C. Select a faster shutter speed D. Select a slower shutter speed

7. In order to produce a photograph with freeze motion, what is the first adjustment you

should make?

A. Select a narrower aperture B. Select a wider aperture C. Select a faster shutter speed D. Select a slower shutter speed

5

8. You just made the correct first adjustment in preparation to take a photograph with a deep depth of field. What should your next adjustment be?

A. Select a narrower aperture B. Select a wider aperture C. Select a faster shutter speed D. Select a slower shutter speed

9. You just made the correct first adjustment in preparation to take a photograph with

freeze motion. What should your next adjustment be?

A. Select a narrower aperture B. Select a wider aperture C. Select a faster shutter speed D. Select a slower shutter speed

10. If a camera’s aperture setting is narrowed two stops, what should your next

adjustment be? (Use the scale shown below if needed.)

A. Widen the aperture two stops B. Fasten the shutter speed two stops C. Slow the shutter speed two stops D. Leave as is—the settings don’t need to be adjusted further

6

11. Suppose a camera is currently set with an aperture of f/8 and a shutter speed of 1/60. If the shutter speed is adjusted to 1/250, what should the next adjustment be? (Use the scale shown below if needed.)

A. Select an aperture setting of f/4 B. Select an aperture setting of f/16 C. Select a shutter speed setting of 1/125 D. Leave as is—the settings don’t need to be adjusted further

7

12. Suppose you would like to recreate the photo shown below. Your camera’s aperture and shutter speed settings are currently set to f/8 and 1/60. (All parts must be correct to receive credit.)

a. What exposure effect are you trying to produce?

b. What should your first adjustment be? What is a possible setting?

c. What should your second adjustment be? What is this setting?
