Video Production

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

What are the 3 elements of the exposure triangle

f/2.8

f/8

f/22

•The area of acceptable focus in a shot.

What is the definition of depth of field

1. Focal Distance

2. Focal Length

3. Iris

4. Sensor Size

What are the four things that affect the depth of field?

What is focal distance

Distance between the camera and the object in focus

What is focal length

Distance between the lens’ center element and the focal plane. In simple terms the zoom of the lens

What is the Iris

The size of the aperture that allows light into the lens

What is sensor size

Larger sensor size allows to shoot on longer focal lengths which in turn creates a more shallow depth of field

What aspect ratio frame size do we shoot video in?

16:9

What are the standard frame rates?

Commonly 24, 30, and 60 frames per second.

What is the standard shutter speed?

Double the frame rate. Used to create natural motion blur

What type of audio cables do we use in video production?

XLR 1/8 or 3.55mm TRS Connector

Shotgun mic

What mic is this

Lavalier Mic

180 Degree rule

A fundamental guideline in film and video production that dictates the positioning of two characters or elements in a scene to maintain spatial orientation and continuity. It involves an imaginary line (the axis) that should not be crossed by the camera to avoid disorienting the viewer.

30 Degree Rule

A principle in film and video production that suggests a camera should move at least 30 degrees between shots of the same subject to maintain visual interest and continuity.

C-Stand

What is this lighting gear called

Light Standused to hold lights and modifiers in place during shoots.

What is color balance

The adjustment of the intensities of the red, green, and blue channels in an image to achieve accurate color representation.

What do you need for 3 point lighting

You need a key light, fill light, and back light to create a well-balanced and visually appealing scene.

What is the key light

Main source of lightused in a scene to illuminate the subject and create shadows, establishing the overall mood.

High Key Lighting

Flat lighting

Very little contrast

Non-Dramatic Scenes

Low Key Lighting

Dramatic lighting

Little to no fill light

High contrast, deep shadows

Hard Light

Shows lots of imperfections and shadows

smaller or singular source

Soft Lighting

Larger source

Bounce

Fills in shadows

Produces a softer, more diffused look in video or photography.
