Matching exercise for video and animation terminology.

Let’s go step by step and match each definition to the correct term from the list on the right.

We’ll read each numbered item (1–20) and find which lettered option (A–T) best fits it.

---

1. Hand-drawn or computer-generated images that, when viewed as a sequence, give the impression of movement
→ This is the basic definition of animation.
✔ Match: R. ANIMATION

2. A recording of moving images
→ That’s what a video is — recorded moving pictures.
✔ Match: J. VIDEO

→ Artists use storyboards to plan animations or videos frame by frame.
✔ Match: M. STORYBOARD

4. One whole image in an animation or video
→ Each single picture in a sequence is called a frame.
✔ Match: G. FRAME

5. Writing on a drawing to explain what it shows or what will happen
→ That’s called annotating — adding notes or explanations.
✔ Match: E. ANNOTATE

6. To move data into a computer
→ When you bring files or data into software, you import them.
✔ Match: D. IMPORT

7. How different parts relate to each other in number or size

✔ Match: I. EDIT

9. A recording of images in a video
→ The actual recorded material is called footage.
✔ Match: H. FOOTAGE

10. An area in a video which is clear and precise
→ If part of the image is sharp and in focus, we say it has good focus.
✔ Match: L. FOCUS

11. Takes you closer or further away from an image
→ That’s what zoom does — zoom in (closer), zoom out (further).
✔ Match: K. Zoom

12. Sequence of frames in an animation that run in order
→ All the frames arranged in time order make up the timeline.
✔ Match: F. TIMELINE

13. The area where you draw your animation
→ In animation software, this is often called the stage — where the action happens.
✔ Match: N. STAGE

14. To put into
→ Simple word for “put into” is insert.
✔ Match: A. Insert

15. Create a second, identical copy of something
→ That’s exactly what duplicate means.
✔ Match: O. DUPLICATE

16. Frames per second
→ Abbreviated as FPS — how many frames show every second.
✔ Match: B. FPS

17. A single square of one colour in a bitmap image
→ Bitmaps are made of tiny squares called pixels.
✔ Match: P. PIXEL

18. An image stored as coordinates and calculations
→ Unlike bitmaps, vector images use math (coordinates, lines, curves).
✔ Match: Q. VECTOR

19. Commentary heard while images are shown
→ That’s narration — someone speaking over the visuals.
✔ Match: T. NARRATION

20. Music that is heard while images are shown

Now let’s write down all the matches clearly:

1 → R
2 → J
3 → M
4 → G
5 → E
6 → D

16 → B
17 → P
18 → Q
19 → T
20 → C

All terms used? Let’s check the options A–T:

A. Insert → #14
B. FPS → #16
C. SOUNDTRACK → #20
D. IMPORT → #6
E. ANNOTATE → #5
F. TIMELINE → #12
G. FRAME → #4

L. FOCUS → #10
M. STORYBOARD → #3
N. STAGE → #13
O. DUPLICATE → #15
P. PIXEL → #17
Q. VECTOR → #18
