Video Stuffs

Video Shooting

Sir Rey told us some of the commonly used abbreviation and code name in photography and videography.

DSLR = Digital Single Lens Reflex

SD = Standard Definition

HD = High Definition

Full HD = Full High Definition

1080p = Video Quality that is best for HD

24 fps = (frames per second) when you want to create a cinematic effect

60 fps = Good for slow-motion

CF = Compact Flash

SD = Secure Digital

SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity

Key notes to remember:

• Always use High Definition (HD) when shooting for a video. 
• The mirror of the camera is always open when video shooting. 
• Shoot at the highest size, because it is easy to  decrease its size rather than to increase it. 

Lighting Patterns

This blog is suppose to be in Day 4 but i can't find my shots until yesterday.

DIFFERENT LIGHTING PATTERNS FOR PORTRAIT:

Split Lighting 

The subject has a strong light on one side that creates a shadow on the other side.

 Butterfly Lighting

The shadow creates a butterfly effect below the nose.

Loop Lighting

It is almost the same with Rembrandt the only difference is that the triangular shape's lines don't meet in the nose and cheeks. 

And For our Activity this my kuya's shot

Food Photography

Mr. Rey ask us to group and bring some food for our lesson lighting a food and how to shot it for my first attempt this is the shot.

Then Sir Rey approach us and help us to set up for a better outcome of the shot.

Another Trick Sir Rey told us is that when you shoot a foos do not shoot as what your point of view you should find a unique view in order to make the shot more yummy in the eyes of the people.

Custom White Balance

We talked about white balance, it is used to get the colors in the image as accurate as possible. Also the Steps in How to set it up. If you are using custom white balance shoot something neutral.

I am using a Canon 650D Camera, and above is what white balance looks like in my camera.

• Auto
• Tungsten
• Shade
• Cloudy
• Preset
• Fluorescent
• Flash
• Custom
  
  
  

To do this custom white balance here are the steps:

1.   Set to daylight
2. Shoot a neutral color (White, Gray)
3. Set Custom WB to that photo. (the one you just shot)
4. Choose Custom WB in camera setting
5. Take Photo
6. Check if Custom WB is correct

REMEMBER: Choose a white balance that suits the ambiance of the place you are shooting. 

The Letters On Objects

Mr. Rey asked us to accomplish a complete set of Alphabet Photography. This project challenged my creatity, to see the world in a different way.  It is a challenge especially for Letter R . This Project made me see object in a whole new level. 

2nd Day in Visual Communication

This is my 1st time to present a blog for our Photography Class because i was absent last meeting. So for today's entry Sir Rey discuss us the use of different shutter speed, and aperture he also show us some of his shots with a few tweaks of aperture and shutter speed.

For our activity Sir Rey want us to further explore/experiment on aperture and shutter speed but we should only stay at ISO of 400. Below are some of my shots together with some information attach to it.  

The butterfly photo above is very hard to get, the story it really gives me a hard time to capture it in that situation one small sound and it can fly away and miss my chance to shot. It is really a big achieve for me that i can produce this quality of photo.
