My Memory Video

 I chose to do this as my memory because he's getting rid of the car and he's had it for 5years at least. I put my ISO on 200 and left my shutter at 50, the aperture was on 5.6, I wanted to play around with the focusing ring to get one in focus then the other. I put some close ups in there, heaps of images to fill in the gaps because i didn't have enough footage to put in the video but this seemed pretty short and sweet. The lighting was alright in some vids I filmed. I didn't really ask him to film his car, I just did it. I think it would of been better to have filmed it at a park, or somewhere open. 

Music: Schoolboy Q - Collard Greens instrumental

I chose this song because this was the first song that he always played on the stereo in the car. I thought it suited the car to be honest.

Notes

ISO:

Controls sensitivity to light.

The best time to use high ISO is in the dark as for the brighter situations, lower ISO is the best.

The lower the ISO the clearer the image, better quality.

The higher the ISO the more sensitive, noisier the image. 

Shutter: 

Slow shutter speed allows more light into the camera sensor and are used for low light and night photography as for fast shutter speeds help to freeze motion.

 Shutter speed is mainly changed for photography but filming is 1/50

Aperture:

Aperture, f/stop (Fraction)

Aperture is an opening hole, space which let's light in depending how big or small the hole is. It controls how much light passes in.

The aperture controls your focus, Depth of field (D.O.F)

The lower the f/stop the bigger the hole, more light, blurry

The higher the f/stop the smaller the hole, less light, less blurry.

Week One Task

Video One

ISO: 100

Shutter: 50

Aperture: ?

This video is just filmed in the garage, changing focus from the fridge to what's in front of the camera which is my book. I put my aperture on f/2.0 so it would be a bit bright in the garage because it was slightly dim. I was pretty much just playing with the  focusing ring to make this film short and sweet.

Video Two

ISO: ?

Shutter: 50

Aperture: f/5.6

This video I filmed of my brother's car from the garage, I was playing with the focusing ring to get his car on focus but in using an ISO of 250, it seems pretty bright still.

Video Three

ISO: 3200

Shutter: 50

Aperture: ?

The last video is just filming in garage with the bmx bike, once again playing with the focusing ring from the tire to the whole bodykit. 

Questions to Answer.

1. What was your aperture value in video one?

2.0

2. What ISO did you use in video two?

250

3. What was your aperture value in video three?

f/5.6

4. Using terms such as: 'Depth of field,' 'noise,' 'exposure,' 

What differences do you notice in the videos?

I took the sound out of all the films I did and I had to cut them to make it short but every film was different towards the sound. The brightness of each film was very different from each other, especially video one to the others in how dim it is.

Constellation Quilt

Emily Fischer

Born and raised in rural Wisconsin, known as a fabric designer and has her own business in Haptic Lab. (Haptic refers to to the scene of touch.)

The SoftMaps quilt project began in 2002 where Emily was inspired by her mother who was diagnosed with glaucoma.

Theme: The video was taken just around where workshop or studio is, scenes in her studio making her quilt and even her walking on the streets, maybe around where she stays? Scenery on the rooftop of the building laying out the quilt she made.

Structure: This is like a character based video, where it's like she's telling her story in what she does in life or her up bringing. Most shots were of Emily always doing something with her hands, very close up films, then wide-shots when she's outside of her studio with her quilt. The video-maker makes the quilt the main focus of the film.

What I like about this video is that it's short and sweet (01.57minutes) Good film to watch, the thing I didn't like was the film in between 00:00-00:30 to 00:00-00:47, it looked weird having that put in with the rest of the whole video, it just looked off.

This image is a wide mid-shot of her studio where all the magic happens, as you can see her facing her back to the camera while she's do her work.

This image is a close up of her fingers and a felt pen that she's using to draw her work, the depth of field is shallow because the background is slightly blurry. It's more focused on what she doing with the felt tip, which is pretty cool.

In this image is pretty much the quilt in one picture, wide mid-shot, good filming.
