Monday - Shutter speed and aperture, oh my! - Practical set experience - finishing red room
Only for members of the blue team came in today. Myself, James, Matthew and Mason.
We had a session on aperture and shutter speed. I am familiar with both concepts but didn't know how to fully explain them but now they are so easy to explain
Aperture - Controls the size of the aperture which controls how much light can come into the lens. A low F -Stop means lots of light can come in but you will have a very shallow depth of focus, a high F-Stop means little light but a wide focus.
Shutter Speed - Controls the speed of the shutter meaning how long the camera will allow light into it for. The slower the shutter speed, the more light into the camera but the more motion blur. The faster the shutter speed the less motion blur but the less light.
Aperture and shutter speed will be kept in balance for a perfect exposure. When aperture increases then shutter speed must decrease and vice versa.
ISO - Digital image brightening. It sucks. Keep it as low as possible.

We had another practical set session today. Roles were
James - Director/actor
Me - Camera Op
Matthew - Actor
Mason - sound
I really enjoyed being the camera op, I opted to use my camera rather than the ones that the university provides. I managed to get some pretty nice looking shots.
