About: This video is about a group of people that went to film extra footage, around Auckland. Here are some of them.

Notes from class

In class we discussed what ISO, Shutter and Aperture was and what its used for.

ISO:- this is a setting that controls light- When shooting in a dark area, its best to turn the ISO up. This gives you an effect of what your eyes naturally see, not the lens.- For the best quality, use a low ISO, esp when shooting in the day time.- The higher the ISO, the noisier your footage gets.

Aperture (F/stop):

- This setting is used to control the lighting in the camera. This is used to control how much light you want, in and out of your footage/photo.

-  Controls your focus, Depth of field.

- The lower the f.stop, more light comes in.

-the Higher the f/stop, less light enters.

Shutter:

- this setting controls the dramatic effects in filming/photography.

- allows you to shoot with more light/darkness in the film

- allows to freeze fast motion

- our shutter speed was kept at 1/50

Lighting and different sorts of equipments.

-Natural Diffusers

Negative fill:- blocks light and stops it from reflecting

Diffusion:- filtering the sun if theres too much exposure

High key lighting:- lots of light

Low key lighting:- seeing black, Angle direct light.

Rig:- used to stabilise camera movement, when hand holding the camera. Something that you put on your shoulders.

Name of lights:- 
-red head
- Arrilite (800 watts) flood and spot
- Kino light (fluorescent light)

Sandbagging :- this is used to hold down the C-Stand, which holds the light and keeps them from falling.

Barn doors:- used to control how much light you want, to focus on a subject.

Extra notes:
The wider the lens, the more distance between the subjects. In line with the camera lens & the longer the lens, the closer the subject.

Follow focus: 
marked by a whiteboard marker, so you know where to zoom.

Video Analysis: 120 Seconds >Dorig< .

About: This video is about a man that works on his little pieces that he uses to stick on his belt. He talks about how at an old age, that when he retires , he will do something that hes passionate about.

Structure: Wide shot amd extreme closeups are mostly used in this film. From my view, i recon that these shots are used to show the audience, the workshop that this man is working in and the tools that are being used to create this little product.

The start of the film starts of with a dolly shot - giving the audience a sense of what the workshop looks like. This then carry's onto the subject making his product.

Extreme close-up shot - showing the audience that he uses these tools and just one of those things that he works with.

Another extreme close up shown on the product that hes working on. Shows the audience the of how he engraves his work onto this flat piece of steel.

At 00:58 seconds - this exreme closeup on his face, must have been shot to show the emotion or passion that he has in him.

The last scene has been shot, showing everything in focus. A wide shot has been used to show the environment that hes working in, also the tools that he deals with. You can pretty much see everything that the director wants us to see.

Response: I like this film, because watching it over and over again, gave me a sense of what the director was trying too show us. From this film i learnt alot about camera techniques and why you should use them and how you should shoot a scene.
