Camera Operation and Control

  • just no 🙂
  • wide shot mid shot, close shot
  • you can add a lot more interest by moving the camera
  • if you have to be seen doing something do a wide shot
  • Notice that I placed a bulleted item for my notes here
  • make a story board before you make your film
  •  use celtex or paper to make storyboard

Framing Your Shot

  • framing horizon in middle of the frame is not very satisfactory
  • conventional framing is comfortable for the viewer
  •  all things have to be in order
  • there needs to be a set eye line to keep shot smooth
  • when the lens is zoomed out is is called a wide lens
  • in-long lense
  •  camera movement that is not smoth may seem like anoter persons point of view
  •  you want to focus a camera exactly the way the way you want it not the atomatic
  •  successive photos are speed is the frame rate
  •  to understand slow motion you just have to understand the playback speed
  • speed at which it takes photos
  • some blue is good
  •  the size of the hole in the camera is measured by F Stop
  • the higher the f stop the less blur there will be
  •  sensitivity is controlled by the iso
  • if you have to use an iso above 1600 its probably because you are going to run out of light any way so shoot at 1600 iso any way and hope for the best
  •  the most useful filters you can use are the uv filters the neutral
  • having something in focus and something out of focus can direct us to exactly to what they what they what us to see
  • the last filter is the polarizer
  •  it perfectly good to learn on a point and shoot camera
  •  when buying a lenses you need to ask what does it see how much does it see
  • avoid lenses that show two different lens stops
  •  when do ing a white balance the camera reproduces the color accurately
  •  you can dial in the color from white to blue
  • the number you set it on depends on your choice depending on your needs for your film
  •  you use lighting to give a film character or a mood
  •  is a means to describe how you light something
  • back lights is commonly used in conjunction with other types of point lights
  • fill light is a light that falls on the front of the subject
  • hight contrast and low contrast are not good or bad
  • you never have to use all of the elements
  •  hard light and soft light are not good or bad
  • hard light comes from a single point
  • soft light does not show figures and textures
  • you can try bouncing light off the wall by putting the tracing paper on the wall
  •  moving the light around the subject is a good way to experiment
  •  objects will always look better against a non distracting background
  • always remove everything from the frame that is unnecessary
  •  control where the subject is when shooting outside
  •  you have control over the foreground and the background
  • when planning your shots its always good to think about contrast
