Q

When gathering audio for video, what is the most important technical consideration? Why?

A

Distance because the nature of the sound changes depending on how far away the subject is. Sounds could drop off exponentially

Q

Discuss with detail and/or scenarios three guidelines for shooting and storytelling as discussed in class.

A
  1. The structure of the video is vital. This is the beginning, middle, and end of the story. If one is missing or boring it will turn away viewers.
  2. audio is another, as it needs to sound good to get viewers. It needs to be implemented properly into the video. Good to introduce a video with natural sounds and then bring in a story/interviews.
  3. The people are another good detail as including people adds a human element. This makes the story more interesting.

Q

When shooting basic sequences in the library, how long should you hold each shot, and why?

A

The shot needs to be held for at least 10 seconds, which gives time to edit them down later. It also allows for shakiness to be cut out. Always overshoot instead of undershooting.

What is the difference between interlaces and progressive scans?
Progressive scans once while interlaces scan twice
26
Explain the axis as it applies to shooting video: what is it, and why is it important?
The axis (180-degree rule) is a basic guideline for filming. The camera needs to stay on one side of the line when filming. If this rule is not followed the video can be confusing. For example, if there are two people talking face-to-face in a scene the person filming needs to stay on one side so when the shot is edited together it's easy to follow. If the person filming switches sides it will look weird once it's edited together because it could look like the person is talking to themselves or no one, depending on how it's edited.
27
Explain the trade-offs of each component of Champagnes Exposure Square as it relates to video.
Light - influences the tone of the video as well as the other three components Aperture - the bigger the hole the more light is allowed in, which leads to a shorter depth of field Shutter Speed - more light comes in when the shutter speed is open longer; which leads to motion blur Sensitivity - the higher the sensitivity the less light is needed for a quality shot; sensitivity needs to be set at the end
28
Define headroom
The space above an object/point of focus
29
Define lead room
The space to the left/right of an object/point of focus
30
Define action
The verbs in photos
31
Define metering
assessing/reading how far away the object is
32
What are ways to set up an interview?
1. choose the right people to interview 2. ambush interview 3. set up an interview time
33
What are the phases of interviewing?
lights set mic checks ask and record their name and title questions
34
Define shotgun microphone
A directional mic with an extremely narrow pick-up pattern; used on movie sets
35
Define stick microphone
cardioid pattern (upside-down heart shape); a reporter is doing a live shot or quick field interview
36
Define lavalier mic
Typically omnidirectional, small clip on mic with cord hidden; like a circle with cross in the middle
37
Define zoom
makes pixels bigger
38
Define pan
camera movement side to side
39
Define tilt
camera movement up and down
40
Shoot to edit. True or false?
True
41
Define axis
180 degrees
42
If you're going to shoot audio without headphones...
close the viewfinder
43
Define staging
recreating events that happened
44
The Kelvin scale can be changed on the camera. True or false?
True
45
Kelvin Scale
10k - blue 6,200 5,600k - white 4,200 3,600 3,200 - orange 2,800 - red
46
1080 HD has a minimum of how many pixels?
720p
47
What are the four corners of the exposure camera?
LASS: light, aperture, sensitivity, shutter speed
48
Define light
more light equals more manipulation, choose places with lots of light; you communicate with light
49
Define aperture
the bigger the hole the more light gets in, but the shorter depth of field
50
Define shutter speed
open/close; open gets more light in, the longer the shutter is open is a high chance for motion blur
51
Define sensitivity (ISO/GAIN)
the higher the sensitivity the more light is absorbed, but also more grainy
52
What is the temp of the sun at midday in July?
5,600
53
What is the temp of the Tungsten (old school)?
3,200
54
Temp of the florescent office lighting?
3,600
55
How many lines of resolution are in HD video?
720p
56
ENG mic types?
lavalier - omnidirectional stick mic - cardioid shoot gun - directional
57
Three things to consider when it comes to audio?
audio ads off exponentially other sounds compete mature of sounds triangulate
58
What is the standard definition (SD)?
480p (720x480)
59
The hotter the light in Kelvin...
the bluer
60
The cooler the light in Kelvin...
the more orange
61
What from photography do you apply to video?
