Notes on Photography and Film

Photography


Exposure triangle:

Aperture - controls depth of field, smaller f number/shallower depth of field

ISO - ASA on film, Grain and noise when fast, high means fast film

Shutter speed - how fast picture is taken/bigger f number faster shutter speed


grain - salt + silver that makes old film

noise - digital camera compensating for grain by making it digitally

use between 100-400 ISO to avoid noise

high shutter speed, high ISO, shallow depth of field


Mode Dial:

use Auto, Tv, Av and M

Auto - does it for you

Tv - shutter speed

Av - aperture

M - manual


RAW - the best photo camera can make, takes up lots of storage, needs processing

JPEG - accepted everywhere, take up less storage, photo still looks good

Canon set up - menu, image quality, select


Formatting:

With an SD card it deletes everything

it is final


Don't: touch front lens, touch back eye-piece, take lenses off


Film


Shooting film takes up a lot of memory

uses SD cards

DLSR's cap at 29 mins and 59 secs

NTSC - North America

PAL - UK and Europe


Frame rate - frames per second, high fps/more photos

shutter speed and fps work together

shutter speed is 2x fps

Hz of lighting - causes flashing + banding

use LED panel

lower shutter speed to stop banding

180 shutter provides most cinematic style


Correct exposure shows an equal histogram

use reflectors to correct exposure

Clipping - when overexposure removes detail

White balance - different light ranges, do not use auto


Audio:

do not use DLSR audio

use microphones

record audio on camera to sync with better audio on Premiere Pro


Formats:

360p, 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD)

ratios - 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9


Multi camera set up:

great for interviews or action

start rec, wait few sec, clap to sync video


Focusing:

DLSR has auto and manual focus

to auto focus half press button

focussing point will look for contrast

use focussing ring for manual focus

750D has tracking focus to use with movement


Lighting:

use continuous lights such as LED's

LED's are very light so can be clamped onto walls

gels soften brightness and adds colour
