Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

The effects of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

Aperture

Aperture is the lens opening in the camera. The larger the hole the more light that gets in – the smaller the hole the less light. Aperture is measured in f-stops. Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount of opening in your lens. f/2 is a much larger aperture than f/22.

Design Brief

For my New Wave film I want to mainly use footage of travel as this theme is open ended and allows me to use multiple days worth of footage without the film seeming like it has careless continuity.
I am inspired by the French New Wave to create my film, although the New Wave genre I am studying is The Italian Neorealist movement, I feel as though the French New Wave is more lighthearted and easier to channel than the Italian. The Italian New Wave focuses on poverty and death and war and I experience none of these things so to attempt to replicate such conditions would be fruitless.
As I am travelling around a few times this month I will capture footage from my journey and edit the footage together in a montage style.
Health and Safety while travelling such be, whilst travelling in a car, ensuring the driver is not distracted while filming and making sure the camera is handled carefully and efficiently so it does not fall or cause harm.

Health and Safety

In the studio I must ensure that the lights are only used by people with the skills and experience to use them, so people cannot injure themselves or damage the equipment.

In order to ensure that the camera is used safely I must make sure it is firmly fixed to the tripod I am using and the tripod is place square on the floor and is not balanced on anything. This prevents the camera from potentially falling over and being damaged.

In a classroom I must make sure all the people who use the classroom remove their belongings as small objects on the floor can be a trip hazard for actors and people operating camera equipment
