New Camera Shots/Racks/Settings

 This photo explains the different camera settings on the new ones that we tried out.

This picture shows the different rings on the front of the camera, and what they do.


















This picture shows what the camera settings were on when the coke can that we filmed was blurry in the background, and focused in the foreground. As you can see the F was 2.8 and it went up to around 2.9, and then back again. When it was at 2.9 the coke can in the background was focused and the coke can in the foreground was blurry.









This picture is just a quick diagram that we were given, that explains the different lenses and the sizes - the rings represent the 'aperture'.

FORMS, OPEN AND CLOSED styles of graphic composition

 OPEN FORMS tend to emphasise looser, less controlled positioning of elements in the frame as if they were unplanned, extending beyond the boundaries of the frame as though the camera just discovered them. Open form compositions are characteristic of documentary films, accounting for their reputation as being more realistic.





<-- This photo is an open form one.

<-- This photo is also an open form one.


CLOSED FORMS tend towards self-contained compositions carefully arranged to include everything of importance within the fram.
