1. Which of the following can AI suggest as part of a video storyboard?

   1. The final runtime of the edited video
   2. Audience reception predictions
   3. Cut points and transitions between scenes
   4. The actor performances needed for each scene

2. Why does the lesson recommend treating an AI-generated storyboard as a 'discussion document'?

   1. Because AI storyboards are always complete and perfect
   2. Because the director needs to approve every word the AI writes
   3. Because what looks good on paper may not work in the actual edited video
   4. Because AI storyboards cannot be changed once generated

3. What makes predicting the final aesthetic challenging when working with AI-generated storyboards?

   1. AI always generates black and white visuals
   2. AI cannot see or evaluate visual output in the way humans can
   3. AI requires multiple revisions to include any color information
   4. AI uses too many technical terms in its descriptions

4. What advantage does an AI storyboard have over starting from a blank page?

   1. It films the actual video without human help
   2. It produces a consistent layout that can serve as a foundation
   3. It automatically selects the best music
   4. It guarantees the video will go viral

5. When an AI storyboard includes timing for each scene, what should a creator understand about those timings?

   1. They are exact and cannot be changed during editing
   2. They include time for rendering and export
   3. They are estimates that may need adjustment in the actual edit
   4. They represent the final runtime of the video

6. What information should a creator provide to AI when requesting a video storyboard draft?

   1. Only the final edit file so AI can analyze it
   2. Video objective, target platform, duration target, tone, and mandatory elements like CTA or spokesperson
   3. A list of competitor videos to replicate
   4. The editing software being used for post-production

7. A brand wants a 30-second social ad storyboard. AI generates 8 scenes with 3-4 second timing each. What should the director do next?

   1. Approve all 8 scenes as-is and begin production immediately
   2. Reject the draft because AI should not suggest scene counts
   3. Review each scene's shot type against the actual aesthetic vision and adjust timing estimates in context
   4. Remove all scenes with dialogue since AI cannot write script copy

8. Which of the following is an example of b-roll in the context of a video storyboard?

   1. The opening title card with the brand logo
   2. The main interview or spokesperson segment speaking to camera
   3. Supplementary footage showing a product in use while the VO narrates
   4. The legal disclaimer text at the end of the ad

9. Why is an AI-generated storyboard particularly useful during the client approval phase of a video project?

   1. Clients can sign off on an AI document without reading it
   2. It gives clients a concrete artifact to react to, which is more productive than discussing abstract concepts
   3. AI storyboards are legally binding once approved
   4. AI storyboards eliminate the need for client revisions

10. An AI storyboard suggests a 'medium close-up' for a scene. What should the director understand about this suggestion?

    1. Medium close-up is the only option — AI has analyzed the scene precisely
    2. The suggestion is based on common conventions and should be treated as a starting point, not a directive
    3. AI has visualized the final shot and confirmed this framing looks best
    4. The director must use exactly this shot type to maintain storyboard integrity

11. What is the key difference between a storyboard timing estimate and a locked runtime?

    1. There is no difference — storyboard timings become the final edit timings
    2. Timing estimates are planning figures that change during editing; locked runtime is confirmed after the edit is assembled
    3. Locked runtime is set by AI; timing estimates are set by the director
    4. Timing estimates apply only to animation, not live-action video

12. When should a team begin production based on an AI-generated storyboard?

    1. Immediately after AI generates the draft — speed is the advantage
    2. Only after the AI has been asked to revise the storyboard at least three times
    3. After the director and client have reviewed the draft, aligned on structure, and approved for production
    4. Production should never begin from an AI storyboard

13. Why might a scene that 'reads well' in an AI storyboard 'fall flat in the cut'?

    1. AI deliberately writes weak scenes to encourage revision
    2. Storyboards are written in the wrong file format for editing software
    3. The written description of a scene does not account for pacing, performance, sound, and visual rhythm that emerge in editing
    4. Editors always ignore storyboard suggestions

14. A short-form video creator uses AI to generate a storyboard and then has the client approve it verbally in a meeting. What risk remains before production begins?

    1. No risk — verbal approval is sufficient for production
    2. The AI may have updated the storyboard during the meeting
    3. Verbal approval may not capture specific client preferences that will cause revision requests after production
    4. The director is not legally allowed to proceed without a written contract

15. Which element of a video storyboard can AI suggest but cannot fully validate?

    1. The client's name in the opening title card
    2. Whether the shoot date conflicts with local holidays
    3. Whether a suggested visual transition will feel smooth in the final edit
    4. The brand logo dimensions for lower-third placement
