1. What is the primary purpose of a panel breakdown in comic creation?

   1. To translate written descriptions into visual specifications for artists
   2. To write dialogue for characters
   3. To create the final artwork for each panel

   1. AI cannot generate any text output
   2. AI has no ability to organize information into columns
   3. AI cannot read text descriptions
   4. AI lacks understanding of visual storytelling and composition

4. What does 'shot type' refer to in a panel breakdown?

   1. The perspective and framing of a panel (e.g., wide shot, close-up)
   2. The camera equipment used to photograph reference images
   3. The speed at which a scene should be drawn
   4. The number of panels on a page

5. In comic terminology, what does SFX stand for?

   3. The art of conveying narrative through images, composition, and panel sequence
   4. Designing character costumes

7. What columns would you typically find in a well-structured panel breakdown?

   1. Price, color, and page count
   2. Ink thickness, paper weight, and binding type
   3. Author name, publisher, and release date
   4. Shot type, action, dialogue, and SFX

8. A comic script includes the line: 'The explosion rocks the entire building, shattering windows across the street.' An AI converts this to a panel breakdown. What specific element should the breakdown specify?

   1. The building's rental price
   2. The shot type showing the action
   3. The author's favorite color
   4. The cost of repairing the windows

9. What does the lesson say about treating an AI-generated breakdown?

   1. It should be converted into a video format
   2. It should be deleted after the artist reads it
   3. It should be treated as the final artwork
   4. It should be treated as a starting point for the artist

10. What type of content should be separated into distinct columns in a panel breakdown?

    1. Page numbers and chapter titles
    2. Character names and their favorite foods
    3. Ink colors and pen sizes
    4. Dialogue and SFX

11. What skill does the lesson say AI cannot perform in comic creation?

    1. Reading and parsing text
    2. Composing visual storytelling
    3. Generating structured lists
    4. Sorting text into categories

12. What is a 'splash page' in comics, and why does deciding to use one require human judgment rather than AI?

    1. A page featuring water scenes; AI can identify those automatically
    2. A full-page panel used for dramatic impact; choosing when to use one requires storytelling instinct that AI lacks
    3. A page with colored splashes added in post-production; a design tool handles this
    4. A page showing all characters at once; AI can flag when all characters appear

13. A comic writer provides their full script to an AI and gets a panel breakdown. The first step before giving it to the artist should be:

    1. Sending it directly to the artist without review
    2. Reviewing the breakdown for visual storytelling quality and pacing, then refining it
    3. Deleting the AI version and rewriting it from scratch
    4. Asking the AI to review its own breakdown for errors

14. Which of these is the clearest example of AI adding genuine production value in the panel breakdown process?

    1. AI deciding which panels are emotionally the most powerful
    2. AI organizing a 40-page script into a structured breakdown table in seconds, saving hours of manual formatting
    3. AI drawing the panels directly from the breakdown
    4. AI determining the best page-turn moments for dramatic effect

15. If an AI panel breakdown suggests a close-up for a scene where a wide establishing shot is dramatically better, what should the creator do?

    1. Accept the AI's choice since it analyzed the script
    2. Override the AI and specify the wide shot based on their storytelling judgment
    3. Use both shot types and let the artist decide
    4. Remove that panel from the breakdown
