Camera lesson exercise on 8.10.10

In the camera lesson today, we learn a few camera techniques and shots that would be very effective for our music video. We learnt about wide angle shot by putting the camera in focus. We learnt about a new type of shot called a trombone shot where we zoomed in while we pull out of the shot. We also learnt about white balance and the different effects it makes. We got a blank piece of paper to test the white balance to see the effects of it. The white balance would change colour balance. We zoom in and out with W and T. DB adds colour to the image. The shutter speed of the camera should be 1 over 50 which means there are 50 pieces of light that comes into the frame. F4 AND F8 are the normal settings for the focus of the camera. From this lesson today, we will do test shooting before shooting the video with the artist to have a feel and pratice of these camera shots and techniques that we have explored today.
