請依下文回答第46題至第50題: Stop motion involves physically manipulating objects, making them appear to move on their own. The objects are moved in tediously small increments, and each tiny change in their position is photographed. When the series of pictures is played in a continuous sequence, the objects appear to move of their own free will. Because clay is a material that is particularly malleable, it is often used in films that utilize stop motion photography. The stop motion technique was first put to use in a film called The Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1898. Filmmakers used acrobat and animal toys to become pioneers in this new branch of the movie industry. In the 20th century, animators brought stop motion to the masses when the original King Kong film hit theaters in 1933. Decades later, Disney experimented with stop motion techniques character, Mickey Mouse, in 1978. Then, in 1993, The Nightmare Before Christmas, produced by the delightfully dark Tim Burton, became the first widely released stop motion feature film. Today, thanks to the Internet, entertaining stop motion films are always just a click away. One of the best the Web has to offer is T-Shirt War, which was made by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal. In the film, the two men use alternating images on their T-Shirts to push each other's buttons. In all, it took 222 shirts to make the short video. Stop motion techniques have also infiltrated music videos, and one of the most impressive is Oren Lavie's “Her Morning Elegance.” It consists of 3,225 still photographs of actors on a bed, which were shot by a single overhead camera. It took four weeks of meticulous planning to map out the computer animated storyboard for the video before a single frame was shot. In Taiwan, a stop motion animation video caused an online sensation. “Deadline”, a class project by Bang-yao Liu, a student at Savannah College of Art and Design, innovatively used Post-it notes. Bang-yao planned out the changing positions of over 6,000 Post-it notes for three months before beginning his four-day shoot. The moving notes tell the story of a young man dealing with a deadline as monsters, thunderstorms, and a submarine move across the wall in front of his desk. The works of Bang-yao and many other creative filmmakers show that there are no limits to this amazing method of movie making.

請試著想像:在進行一個需要三千多張照片、耗時數週的極端複雜任務前,為了確保每一格畫面都不出錯,你必須先對你的點子進行什麼樣的處理?正如旅人在出發前會查閱地圖,這個動作在「行動」之前扮演了什麼樣的角色?

結合上下文的語意推論

這題的核心考點在於片語 "map out" 的應用。在文章中,這段話描述製作音樂錄影帶時,團隊花費了四周進行「meticulous planning」(細緻的規劃)來 "map out" 電腦動畫腳本。從字面上看,"map" 是地圖,引申為「描繪出藍圖」或「詳細安排」。結合後方的 "storyboard"(分鏡腳本)以及前文已出現的 "planning",選項 (A) Plan 顯然是最契合的語意,意指在拍攝前對每一格畫面進行精確的策劃。
