UAL Proposal

Testing e.g. 12x shots storyboard - this is a recce (if possible try and use a external monitor instead of camera viewfinder on the DSLR)

3 Pillars:  Aperture, ISO, Shutter speed  - Exposure Triangle

Cornea= Lens
Iris= Hole - apperture large or small
F-stop - (closed) small f22, (open) large f2.4 - (f8 and be there - f8 is usually fine for all conditions)
F22 - nearly all of the shot will look 'in focus)
F1.4 - foreground or background in focus (faster)

Depth of field at a low f-stop is shallow - aperture is very open!

Minimum f-stop is important

Lenses

Fixed (Prime) or Zoom

The fixed lens has one focal length

The Zoom lens: when zoomed out aperture is one number

Zoomed in it will increase f-stop number

Pro lens fixed apperture - 70-200mm f2.8

(Low light situations)

I.S.O

- photography not video
- sensitivity of the film roll
- 100 ASA, 200 ASA, 400 ASA, 800ASA - Quick moving images need higher ASA e.g. sport, dolphin moving 800ASA

Shutter speed (blinking)

High shutter speed lets in less light because the lens is mostly SHUT.

1/4 means quarter of a second
1/125
1/250

DSLRS tend to go up to 1/4000 - shortest

(stills 30 secs longest)


Aperture

Rule of thirds (framing shot is very important)

Focal length is measured in metres


Camera


           RGB
CCDx3 - Pro Camera
Human's see Green twice as much as Red and blue

B&W
Sensor in a DSLR - uses photolithography (Lith)

Sensor is usually a silicon wafer layer with tiny wells - with multiple colour filters on top.

Sensors: CCD, CMOS, FOVEON - there are 3


White Balance

-AWB (auto white balance)
-Interior and exterior
-Hue, Kelvin (Exposure) - candle light is 1000 kelvin, blue sky is 10,000 Kelvin

Black balance

-New camera calibration

Gain (Amplifies the image)

- Low light conditions - AVOID!
- Increase gain/decrease gain- test it
-If you increase gain - you make the image have grain

Pitch

- Idea - explain and show research
- Audience? - Demographic - e.g. graphs/Pie Charts

1. Title
2. IDEA (unit 12 application of theory)
3. Research
4. Swot of potential barriers
5. Mood-board

4th April - UAL Proposal

SD Cards

SD - secure digital - created by SanDisk
Switch on SD - right protect when its down - you are not able to record to this SD card
If the switch is up you are able to format the SD card.
32gb card is ideal - make sure you keep SD card is kept away from magnets

Adapting FMP

If no access to FMP - use phone instead of a DSLR.

Smartphone resolution - 1080p, 720p etc..
Smart phone file type e.g. .mp4

Editing - Divinci resolve is a good Equivalent to Premiere Pro

Proposal

Rationale, concept, evaluation, strengths and weaknesses, what I expect to learn, proposed bibliography, schedule

Paragraph:

You must explain why I am making my piece e.g.

Where could I screen this? - determining audience - use graphs etc...

impact, effectiveness, efficient, qualitative quantitative

  1. As college is closed to students from today. And the campuses close Friday 20th to staff...

    I will be communicating on this page with you. I will be available to start our FMP clinic (questions and answers) and the usual weekly sessions will happen at the same time as the current timetable.

    I will post the sessions in this page as to what to work on next. Needless to say... research!
