Video Shooting

Day 8

After too much photography... let us now go shoot videos!


Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of these?

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


Things to remember:

• 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. 
• Always use HD when shooting for a video.

White Balance

DAY 6


We talked about white balance, this is how we can correct the color of the images instantly in the camera.

NO MORE PHOTOSHOP!

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

These are the white balances that you could choose from.

What is Custom White Balance?

Have you noticed that most photographers always carries a white sheet of paper? This is because, they set their own white balance. to do this here are the steps:

1. Set to daylight
2. Shoot a neutral color (White, Black, 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. 

Now, GO POINT AND SHOOT!
