Manual Camera Settings

Further Development

The use of the daylight setting (0:04 - 0:11) matches the environment and so produces a clear image. Also the fact that the exposure is at 0 enables the production of a perfect scene.

Furthermore, the tungsten setting (0:11 - 0:19) creates a blue hue over top of the frames. This is unnatural to the human eye in relation to the location. The blue colour temperature generates a cold-feel to the environment which doesn't necessarily match the mood of the environment.

To continue, the CWB (0:19 - 0:28) produces a green tone over top of the image which is obviously unnatural. This effect could be used for a sci-fi film.

The colour temperature most suited to the environment is the daylight setting.

Unfortunately, we were not successful in gathering footage to portray shutter speed.

This is likely to be due using the wrong shutter speed setting for an average speed of motion (0:37 - 0:43) and (0.44 - 0:48). To improve, we could use a faster moving object next time e.g. a car or something being thrown and record movement of a slow object.

Manual Camera Setting Task

However, the required effects of the shutter speed being at 1/1000th is to freeze a fast moving object. Also, the required effects of the shutter speed being at 1/100th is to freeze a slow moving object. This could be used in an action film to capture a fast moving object e.g. a car.

The use of deep focus (0:51 - 0:58) is successful in drawing attention to the subject within the shot. The background consists of nature and an initial character which isn't vital to the scene. Therefore, the background being out of focus draws attention away, into the foreground. This technique can be used in action films to adjust the audiences perspective.

The transition between deep and shallow focus (0:58 - 1:04) has a positive effect on the shot. The switch of focus allows the audience to have a narrow vision where the cinematographer shifts the narrative.

EFFECTS OF ISO:

ISO is one of three determining factors of the exposure of a photo, along with aperture and shutter speed. These two affect the lens and exposure time respectively, with the ISO affecting the sensor (or film). The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera. The component within your camera that can change sensitivity is called “image sensor” or simply “sensor”.
