Camera set up and Camera techniques



Format we film on: 1080ip hd

How to switch from auto to fully manuel:
- Take of auto lock and switch to manuel then you will have full control of the cameras setting meaning you can adjust things to get the desired shots

Gain:
- gain is linked with exposure , when there is no light it tries ti add light but gets grainy
- it measures in db and goes from 0-18

Shutter speed:
- shutter speed allows you to get more frames per second or less. in cinema it is usaually 24 whilst in pal regions it is 25

- our cameas shot 50 frames per second the higher the frame rate the better and smoother it looks and also it will make slow motion look better when editing


White balance:
- indoor is called tunstun / orange colour/ symbol is a light bulb

- out door light/ bluey/ symbol is sun

- manuel light bvalance is required if you have both type of lighting in one shot so you can adjust it to get the right look

manuel focus:
-zoom in on same ones hair because there is alot of detail and adjust until it is in focus
