VIDEOGRAPHY BASICS!

What we need to know to begin!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: The basics of videography and how to properly set a camera.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Properly setting a camera in videography is essential for achieving your creative vision, ensuring good image quality, and avoiding technical issues like improper exposure or grainy footage. Understanding settings such as frame rate, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and white balance allows you to control the motion, depth of field, and overall mood of your video, leading to a more professional and polished final product.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will take notes of the camera/settings and show your knowledge with a quiz!

YOU WILL NEED A NOTEBOOK/PENCIL!

THE 5 W's

What are they?

The "5 Ws" in videography are Who, What, When, Where, and Why, which are fundamental questions to ask when creating or analyzing any video content to understand its purpose, audience, and story. Asking these questions helps videographers, marketers, and writers to gain a complete picture of a story or project, ensuring the content is valuable and resonates with its intended audience

Who:

Who is involved in the video? This could refer to the people in front of the camera, the target audience, or the creators themselves.

What:

What is the video about? What message or story is being conveyed, and what is the primary action or event taking place?

When:

When is the video set or when will it be released? This question helps to define the timeline and context of the content.

Where:

Where is the video taking place? Understanding the location can add context and atmosphere to the content.

Why:

Why is the video being made? What is its purpose or motivation? This question helps to define the overall goal and impact of the video.

CAMERA BASICS

What are they?

There are several settings that allow you to control what the camera captures. We need to control these settings because we shoot under such a wide variety of lighting and light colors. Also, audio. I can’t emphasize enough the need to capture your audio properly. If you don’t, you probably don’t have usable footage.

Before we start...

In this class, we will use a wide variety of cameras. While all shoot video, some are specifically designed for primarily shooting video while others are primarily designed for shooting still images, but also work great at shooting video. We’ll use both!
