What is cinematography?

Cinematography is the art of the way we film something. This can be used as shot types, angles, filters, composition movement and lighting.

Composition: Shallow depth of field, deep depth of field, rule of thirds, quadrant framing.

Lighting: Low key, high key and chiaroscuro.

LO1: Camera settings

You can manually change many settings using the Canon camera to adjust the light exposure such as Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO.  Aperture is the width of the lens and how much light it allows in. It is measured in F/stops numbered from 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. and the higher the aperture the wider the lens will be so more light can come through.  Shutter speed is speed at which the shutter closes. If the shutter speed is fast, there is less exposure so less light will be in the shot but if it is a slower shutter speed than more light can come in. This may impact the look through the lens as the slower the shutter speed the blurrier is will look when moving the camera. Shutter speed is measured is fractions of second so a fast shutter speed maybe 1/500 of a second but a slower speed maybe 1/2 a second. ISO is the sensitivity of the cameras lens to change how dark or bright the photo. The lower the ISO the darker the image and vice versa.  Frame rates is the am...

This is so the audience know the location of the characters and so their is no awkward pauses throughout. Also, the editing is non continuity editing. This is because the location of the film changes throughout so the conversations end. When the scene is film in one location the editing is continuity editing so a conversation doesn’t cut.  We filmed our footage with cinematic quality equipment such as the DSLR camera and an iPhone X. Using this f...
