• B. Production Schedule
• C. Moire Effect
• D. Floor Plan

Answer: (D)

Set dressing refers to the decorative items on a set, like pictures, lamps, rugs, and curtains, that create the look and atmosphere but aren’t touched or referred to by the performers during the action. These pieces are chosen and placed by the set decorator to support the story’s setting, era, and mood, and to maintain continuity across takes. In contrast, props are objects the actors actually handle or interact with on screen, such as a mug or a phone. A floor plan is a layout diagram of the space showing where walls, doors, and furniture sit for planning blocking and camera placement. A production schedule maps out when scenes are shot. The moire effect is an optical interference pattern that can occur when fine patterns on decor interact with the camera sensor.
