Understanding video technology
Camera Understanding video technology Canon 600d Exposure - the amount of light allowed into the lense Shutter speed - the speed of the shutter opening and closing ISO - your ISO should be no more then 400 but generally you should use 100 White balance - the different light settings, the white balance sets all the colours correct in the camera Frame size should generally be 1920:1080 and the frame rate should be 25fps If you use 24 fps it makes the image feel a little more like film If you filmed at 50fps you can cause a slow motion effect Depth of field - is what's in focus and what's not in focus A wide depth of field means everything will be in focus, Depending on what your filming Bokeh is what is out of focus, anything which is out of focus is the bokeh Focal length of your lense Can also effect your depth of field The further away the iris is from the sensor effects your depth of field a wide depth of field is 10mm- 18 mm lenses A shallow depth of field is 18mm-135mm Also if you change the f stop you can alter depth of field The higher the f stop the darker the image will be 1.4 f stop shallow depth of field 5.6/11 is a wide depth of field
