以下每大題各佔25%

一、閱讀以下文章，以中文寫摘要。

There is a story about an excellent photographer being invited for dinner by an acquaintance. Looking through some of the artists’ work, the host remarked, “These pictures are beautiful! You must have a marvelous camera!” To which the photographer replied, “This soufflé is delicious. You must have really nice pots and pans.”

Point? It’s the artist, not the brush. It’s the knowledge and creativity, not the gear, which enables one to create a quality desktop movie. The movie “Celebration” proved that a cinematic masterpiece could be shot with a $1000 pocket camcorder.

Your goal is to put your viewers into an “entranced “state and keep them there- where they are “buying” your story-where your project becomes much more than moving pictures- it becomes real, and your viewers live your story, experience your story rather than just seeing it.

Like a reporter on the scene, your viewers’ perception of the story will be completely determined by your shot selection, angles, framing and composition.

And how you choose to shoot these subjects will have a huge impact-a medium shot of a person laying on a couch might look comforting and cozy. But a wide shot of that person, laying on a couch in an otherwise bare room with empty walls might convey loneliness and isolation. Which framing you use will dramatically change the emotion conveyed by the shot- and the effect on your viewers.

二、英翻中 ﹝請將下列短文正確翻譯成中文﹞

Radio is the most pervasive medium of communication in the United Stares. Over 10,000 stations are on the air, twice the number that existed in the 1960s, and radio reaches 99 percent of all homes. Since 1950, radio programming has undergone a shift in focus as it adapted to the development of new media such as television. Before 1950, radio’s main focus was entertaining the family; since then, it has become a personal companion. Almost every automobile has a radio, and seven out of ten adults are reached weekly by car radio.
