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.
