Unit 18 powerpoint
- 1. This will be a presentation that shows the camera equipment and settings we will be using while creating our short film for Unit 5
- 2. A digital single-lens reflex camera is a digital camera that combines the optics, and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor. The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras. This equipment can be used to film a multitude of different shots wide angles, to close ups, to OTS shots. This is because it is handheld and can be used more up-close with actors or objects. Drone photography is the capture of still images and video by a remotely-operated or autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), also known as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) or, more commonly, as a drone. This is used to film establishing shots of cities. A camcorder is a self-contained portable electronic device with video capture and recording as its primary function. It can be used by armatures for films with a very small budget as they are cheap but extremely lightweight and useful. Meaning you can easily pick it up and record. A smartphone camera is just a good as a camera if not better at some times. Everyone in the world owns a smartphone in some sort of way, and the increase in camera quality in newer iPhone and Samsung show case how easy it can be for someone to start filming. They can also be used to film extreme close up shots or hard to reach shots. A prosumer camera is a mix of a consumer and professional camera, as its name implies. ... Additionally, manual focus on a prosumer model is typically controlled via a built-in menu on the body of the camera rather than by rotating the lens as you would with a traditional professional camera. These can be used by online content creators or beginners into the craft of film making.
- 3. A tripod is a portable three- legged frame or stand, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of some other object. Dolly cam A camera dolly cam is a wheeled cart or similar device used in filmmaking and television production to create smooth horizontal camera movements. The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and focus puller, or camera assistant usually ride on the dolly to push the dolly back and forth A jib is a special kind of crane at the end of which you attach a camera; there's a counterweight at the other end for balance. It's used to capture a variety of shots, such as overhead or long sweeping moves, and can film a complete 360 degree shot. In filmmaking and video production, a crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a moving crane or jib. Most cranes accommodate both the camera and an operator, but some can be moved by remote control. The slider has a movable "carriage" that you can attach directly to your camera, or you can attach a tripod head between your camera and the carriage for more panning and angle options. ... Camera sliders can also be used to create "reveal shots." A reveal shot is a camera movement that exposes more (or less) of a scene
- 4. Wide Lens A wide-angle lens has a focal length of 35 mm or shorter, which gives you a wide field of view. The wider your field of view, the more of the scene you'll be able to see in the frame. These lenses are ideal for many scenarios and most photographers have at least one trusty wide-angle lens in their kit. Telephoto lens A telephoto lens is a long-focus lens that allows photographers to utilize a focal length that is in fact shorter than the lens' physical length. ... Some telephoto lenses can even attach to a smartphone camera fisheye lens A fisheye is an extreme wide-angle lens that produces a 180°-degree field of view with the intent to create panoramic or hemispherical images. Its name was first coined in 1906 by Robert W. Wood, an American physicist and inventor who likened the effect of a fisheye lens to the world-view of a fish underwater. Standard lens A standard lens is a prime lens with a focal length roughly equivalent to the length of the diagonal measurement of the sensor (or film). A standard lens on a full-frame camera would have a focal length of 42mm. It is a lens that produces a field of view that is like the human eye or appears natural.
- 5. •LAVALIER MICROPHONE LAVALIER MICROPHONES – ALSO KNOWN AS LAPEL MICS OR CLIP-ON MICS – ARE SMALL WIRED MICROPHONES THAT ARE WIDELY USED IN FILMMAKING AND BROADCASTING. THEY ARE IDEAL FOR RECORDING DIALOGUE AS THEY ARE DISCREET AND UNOBTRUSIVE AND CAN BE POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE MOUTH WHILE REMAINING OUT OF SIGHT •SHOTGUN MICROPHONE SHOTGUN MICROPHONES ARE ESSENTIAL TOOLS IN THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL FILM AND VIDEO PRODUCTION. THEIR NARROW PICKUP PATTERNS ARE EXCELLENT FOR CAPTURING SPECIFIC SPEAKERS AND SOUNDS IN ANY SITUATION. •BOOM MICROPHONE A BOOM MIC HAS A HIGHLY DIRECTIONAL POLAR PATTERN AND IS POSITIONED AT THE END OF A BOOM POLE. THESE MICS ARE STAPLES IN FILM AND VIDEO. THEY ARE HIGHLY DIRECTIONAL (PICK UP SOUND WHERE THEY POINT TO AND REJECT OFF-AXIS SOUNDS). •WIRELESS MICROPHONE WE ALL KNOW WIRELESS MICROPHONES PROVIDE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONVENIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY, AND THEY CERTAINLY CAN KEEP A STAGE LOOKING CLEAN. IF YOUR SETUP FEATURES THE VOCALISTS OUT TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND YOU WANT TO KEEP WIRES AT BAY, A WIRELESS MIC SYSTEM IS A GREAT OPTION
- 6. • WE BEGAN LEARNING HOW TO CHANGE THE APERTURE BY WATCHING A USEFUL VIDEO THAT HELPED US UNDERSTAND WHAT APERTURE IS AND HOW TO ACCESS IT ON A CAMERA. AFTER THIS, WE BEGAN TO MESS WITH THE APERTURE SETTINGS ON OUR OWN CAMERA TO MANIPULATE AND CHANGE THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHADOWS IT THE SHOT. BOTH VIDEOS SHOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE APERTURE TURNED ALL THE WAY UP AND ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS CAN BE USED WHILE SHOOTING A FILM TO ACHIEVE SHALLOW DEPTHS OF FIELD • •

- 8. •DIFFERENT FRAME RATES YIELD DIFFERENT VIEWING EXPERIENCES AND CHOOSING A FRAME RATE OFTEN MEANS THINKING ABOUT MULTIPLE FACTORS, SUCH AS HOW REALISTIC YOU WANT YOUR VIDEO TO LOOK OR WHETHER YOU PLAN TO USE TECHNIQUES LIKE SLOW MOTION OR MOTION-BLUR EFFECTS. MOST MOVIES (INCLUDING OURS) ARE FILMED AT 24 FRAMES PER SECOND BECAUSE IT USES LESS FILM THEN SHOOTING 60 FRAMES PER SECOND. IN A DIGITAL WORD THIS DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME IMPACT, BUT IN THE FILM, WORLD GOING FROM 24 TO 60 FRAMES COULD MEAN A HUGE COST IN EXPENDITURES. MOST ANIMATION IS CREATED AT 12 FRAMES PER SECOND IT USES LESS RESOURCES WHILE CREATING A SMOOTH SCENE. •24fps is usually best for movies, 30fps is usually best for TV productions (such as news, drama and documentaries) whilst 60fps is better for sports footage.THE DLSR CAMERA DID ALLOW US TO FILM UP TO 60 FRAMES PER SECOND. HOWEVER, AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE DECIDED TO FILM IN 24 FRAMES PER SECOND AS THAT WOULD BE BEST FOR CINEMATIC QUALITY FOOTAGE.
