Unit 18: Cinematography

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...

I have investigated the different types of cameras used for cinematic productions. These days professional film makers also use their mobile phones (such as Snow Steam Iron by Zack Snyder). However quality cinematic footage is achieved by using film camcorders. At school we have access to a range of cameras that we will used to film our short film; these are the prosumer Canons, the Canon 250D DSLR and the Mavik Pro Drones. In my PPT slide I have talked about why certain cameras are used and the quality / resolution of the footage

Describe how to use camera equipment. Describe the settings for different camera types to achieve cinematography 

Cinematography is the art of the way we film something. This can be used as shot types, angles, filters, composition movement and lighting.  We have used the concept of cinematography in the exam and coursework units so far, Composition: Shallow depth of field, deep depth of field, rule of thirds, quadrant framing. Lighting: Low key, high key and chiaroscuro.
