PART C. READING
I. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the question (1 pt.)
To accomplish a three-dimensional or 3D effect in a movie, two steps are necessary. First, the movie needs to be shot in
a special way. Then, the movie needs to be viewed in a special way.
To shoot a 3D movie, it is necessary to use two cameras at the same time. This is different from a regular movie, which
is shot with only one camera. The two cameras are placed next to each other. The placement of the cameras imitates how two
eyes each see one scene from a different perspective. The same picture is shot by each of the cameras at the same time, but
each of the cameras films the scene from a different angle because of the position of the cameras.
When you go to the theater to view a 3D, you must wear special glasses to get the three-dimensional effect. [5A] Both
pieces of the film are projected simultaneously; when the pieces of the film are projected at the same time, the special glasses
then force each of your two eyes to see the film in a different way. [5B] Your left eye sees the film shot with the left camera, and
your right eye sees the film shot with the right camera. [5C] If you try to watch the movie without the special glasses, it will seem
like you have double vision. [5D]
