WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Cameras in Videography!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning about video cameras is crucial for videography to produce professional-quality footage by mastering exposure settings, understanding sensor capabilities, and optimizing frame rates and resolution for desired effects like motion blur or slow-motion. Knowledge of camera features also allows for better results in low-light conditions, creative depth of field, and the creation of versatile footage for various platforms, ultimately enhancing the value and revenue-generating potential of a videographer's services.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will learn about some of the cameras we will use and try them out!

Important Terms YOU MUST KNOW!
Important Terms YOU MUST KNOW!
FRAME RATE (FPS)
FRAME RATE (FPS)
The frame rate indicates how many frames (images) are captured per second.
US Standard is 30 fps. (29.97)
SHUTTER SPEED
SHUTTER SPEED
Amount of time shutter stays open
Fast/High Shutter Speed = Less light but the more "action-esc" your fottage will be
Slow/Low Shutter Speed = More light but movement will start to look blurry (example: the subject is disoriented)
Ideally...
Ideally...
Always make sure your shutter speed is 2x your Frame rate
Example: if youe Frame Rate is 30fps
Shutter Speed should be 1/60 (2x30)
APERTURE/IRIS (indicated with f/Number)
APERTURE/IRIS (indicated with f/Number)
Lens opening which controls exposure and depth of field
Lower Number = Wider open Aperture/Iris
(This means it lets in more light giving a SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD or DOF resulting in a blurry background)
High Number = More closed Aperture/Iris
This means it lets in less light resulting in more of the shot will be in focus.

Interview
Interview
Ususally keep a low aperture
Creates a nice background blurred look
Separates your subject from the background
Make sure subject is focused BEFORE you start filming!
Action based
Action based
Ususally shoot with a high aperture
Makes sure everyone/thing is in focus
Limited light
Make sure you have plenty of available light BEFORE you start filming!
ISO
ISO
Measurement of the sensor's sensitivity
Lower ISO = Preferred...the lower the better!
During the day, outside around 200 or less! (not a rule)
High ISO = Allows more "Light/Sensitivity" but image might start to look more "grainy" (Gain)
Inside try around 800 (not a rule) or compensate with Aperture or Shutter speed to not get gain (that grainy look!)
