VIDEO: CMOS Sensors

 

 Lab Exercise Upload : White Balance

Lab Exercise Upload: White Balance 

In this lab exercise, you will need to change your white balance settings manually and shoot in JPEG format.

You will shoot three frames of the following: 

• An indoor scene with low light 

You may also need to set your camera down on put it on a tripod for the low light shots. 

You will shoot each of these scenes with your white balance set to:

• AWB: Auto White Balance

• Tungsten

• Daylight

• shade

• cloudy

• flash

Six images will be submitted (JPEG). Label the white balance for each one.

Lastly Choose one of the following

1. create 2 triptychs using all 6 images.

2. create 1 triptych using a part of each of the 6 images.

Use text to label each image .

Long Shot (LS) Medium Shots (MS) and Closeup Shots (CU)

 

COMPOSITION

Video images, like still photographs, are subject to the aesthetic rules of picture composition. There are, however, factors peculiar to video that more or less influence television composition. These factors are as follows:

• The small monitor requires objects to be shown relatively large so they can be seen clearly on a small screen. You must shoot more extreme close-ups (ECU), close-ups (CU), medium shots (MS), few long shots (LS), and very few extreme long shots (ELS). 
• The 3:4 aspect ratio of the picture cannot be changed so all picture elements must be composed to fit it. The aspect ratio is the ratio of picture height to width. There is no vertical format in television. You must always think horizontal format. 
• The video camera is the eyes of the viewer. Therefore, camera movement, as well as the static arrangement of elements within the frame, must be considered. 
• When shooting uncontrolled action, you may not be able to predetermine composition. Sometimes all you can do is correct certain compositional errors. 

In motion media, the picture on the screen is referred to as a shot. A shot is one continuous camera run from the time the recording starts to the time the recording stops. A shot may last a few seconds, several minutes, or the entire program. A motion-video camera person must always think in terms of shots.
Most rules of composition in still photography apply equally well to composition in motion media.

 

BASIC SEQUENCE

During motion-media recording, you can change the image size by changing the camera-to-subject distance or by using a zoom lens (which also changes the field of view).
When recording an event on motion media, there are three basic shots or sequences you must use: long shots (LS), medium shots (MS), and closeup shots (CU) (fig. 13-10). The type of shot being used can limit or increase the amount of visual information presented to the viewer. Long shots generally establish a location. A medium shot is used primarily as a transition between a long shot and closeup shot. Closeup shots create impact and provide more detail.

shutter speed

Target: Learn to manipulate images by adjusting shutter speed in shutter priority mode on a digital camera.

Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutter remains open to allow light to reach the digital camera sensor.  It is measured in seconds or fractions of seconds.  

 

10          5     1     1/4     1/6     1/8     1/10     1/20     1/25     1/40     1/60     1/125     1/250     1/320     1/500 

Shutter is open longer, letting more                                                                                 Shutter is open for a short time, letting 

light in, and causing movements to blur.                                                                           less light in, and freezing motion.
