Workshop 2- Camera/Lens

 To focus something zoom in with lens.

Look at the little monitor during shooting not big one TV is bad quality other one much better ( black screen) 

black screen: 

FPS: is frames per second (weird hangover of 50 years ago) to make a dance or something more elegant make the FPS higher.

Shutter: is how the camera sees every movement. The shutter is in degree. For example 60 degree ( in general lower shutter) is good for for band, dance or metallic music videos or also for scary scenes . When the shutter is higher   ( for example 360) everything is more blurry which is good for old fashion things or in general also emotional situations/ dreamy. The normal shutter is on 180 degrees.

Lenses: 

Before take the lens off we have to turn the camera off so nothing breaks 

Two types of lenses:

1. Zoom lens good for zooming in. We used the lens in our opening sequences last year.

2. Prime Lens; More focused and just looks nicer , 

measured in mm, Each different number on the lenses (the mm) makes a different picture. When filming the music video working through the lenses box ( from the highest number to the lowest number on the lenses)is a good idea because a normal structure is starting with a wide shot and ending with the last closeup. The lenses box starts with 85mm and ends with 18mm 

The 18mm lens makes a amazing focus 

to focus on the picture we have to use a measure band the measure the distance of the camera and the person who needs to be in focus to do that properly there is a focus plain which is to put the first part of the measure band on it 

                                          measure band 

                                    set up for the focus after measureFocus plate

It is better to make more interesting compositions for the band than the normal basic band positions everybody knows.
