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!

Color Temperature:

Light sources, from candlelight to daylight, have different color temperatures measured in Kelvin (K). Lower Kelvin values produce warmer, reddish-yellow light, while higher values create cooler, bluer light.

Consistency:

A properly set white balance ensures consistency in your footage, which is vital for matching clips and preventing issues during color grading in post-production. 

Set your audio to about -12- -10db on your VU meter. 

Listen using headphones to ensure that you have good quality audio.
