lens - -brightness control
-f-stop - -shows the size of the iris and is related to brightness
-Neutral Density Filter - -- cuts the amount of light going into the camera
- optical filter
-ISO - -- shows films/cameras sensitivity to light
- adjustable on DSLR
- 320/400 on most video cameras (usually not adjustable)
-focal length - -- the distance from a lens to its focus
- unit of measure = mm
- smaller = wider
- larger = more telephoto
-prime lens - -- A lens with a fixed focal length
- cannot be zoomed in or out
-fast lens - -can capture image under low light
-Striking - -turning on light
-saving - -turning off light
-nose room - -the space from the tip of a person's nose to the side edge of the frame
-ELS/XLS - -extreme long shot
- to establish location
-LS - -long shot
- to establish situation
-WS - -wide shot
-MS - -mid shot
- to reveal action
-CU - -close-up shot
- to show detail/emotion

, -Rule of thirds - -- divides the frame into 9 sections, points of interest should occur at 1/3
or 2/3
- place subject along the lines
- point of interest on one of the four points
-Exposure Control - -- gain (db) = less light available
- nd filter = more light available
-Zebra - -- adjustment to the brightness of the shot
- always want zebra on hotspots to make it more accurate to what your eye sees
-How does a shot work for story? - -- framing
- lighting
- production design

- camera angle
-Neutral Angle - -eye level
-High Angle - -camera looks down on subject, the subject looks smaller, inferior, less
important
-Low Angle - -camera looks up at subject, subject looks larger, superior, more important
-Depth of Field - -The area that is in focus
- focal length: more telephoto
- f-stop: smaller f-stop number
- subject distance: closer subject
-Audio Recording for Video - -1. our ears are less tolerant than our eyes
2. it is impossible to remove noise under the voice
3. bad audio always kills student projects
