Unit 18: Cinematography

 Frame rate     What is frame rate? Frame Rate is the number of frames/images per second that make up a video. It is measured as FPS where the higher the frame rate and fluid motions. The standard frame rate for movies and cinematics such as slow motion is 24FPS, however 30FPS and 60FPS is standard for TV & games. Video game frame rate varies to platform and hardware, but typically is between 30 and 240FPS or higher if playing on uncapped frame rate. How to adjust frame rate? To change a frame rate of a video you can right-click on a video file and choose properties. Also, you can use a video player that displays information. You should change your frame rate depending what the video is for. For example, if your original video is 30FPS and you want to slow it down, you can change it to 24FPS. The best way to change video frame rate is by using editing  software.     Look at several frame rates and explain why they may be used? (16, 24, 30, 60) ISO / Ape...

  Annotate diagrams or videos Three point lighting: This was taken using a three point lighting setup. A three point setup includes a key light, a fill light and a backlight.  The key light is placed in front of the subject and is the brightest light. The camera is placed close to the key light to get the central position of the subject and the camera may be placed at eye level. It is better to choose a light that has different temperature settings, intensity and control as it will give better results. This helps to account for skin tones and different backgrounds. 45 degrees is an ideal angle for the key light setup. In this picture, the camera would be placed in between the key light (on the left) and the fill light on the right where the fill light would be almost a 45 degree angle. This would be great as it would shine directly on the front of the subject and be balanced by filling in the subjects face. The light on the left would work as a backlight to create light around...

 Rushes of lighting Three point lighting: Three-point lighting is a common technique used in cinematography and photography that involves the use of three different light sources to illuminate a subject or scene. The three lights are called the key light, the fill light, and the backlight. Each light has a specific purpose and placement, and together they can create a wide range of lighting effects. The key light is the primary light source and is positioned to the side of the subject, usually at a 45-degree angle. This light provides the main source of illumination and helps define the shape and form of the subject. The key light can be adjusted to be more or less intense, and its angle can be adjusted to create different shadows and highlights.  The fill light is placed on the opposite side of the key light, also at a 45-degree angle. The purpose of the fill light is to soften the shadows created by the key light, making the overall lighting more balanced and even. The fill ...
