  1. RTV 322 Camera use: Shooting to Edit Cell phones off and put away

  3. A few tech points… • Camera / lens / mount • Lighting • Production Design • Sound Design • FX • Producer / Director etc.

  4. Film vs. Video • Film • a thin flexible strip of plastic or other material coated with light-sensitive emulsion for exposure in a camera, used to produce photographs or motion pictures • Video • magnetic tape for recording and reproducing visual images and sound.

  5. Film vs. Video • We’re not ‘filming’ anything • Film stock chemicals react to light to encode an image into the film stock • Video recording uses magnetic storage of data

  6. Film vs.Video • Film stock is the imaging device for motion picture film • CCD or CMOS is the imaging device for video • Future for film?

  7. Film • 8 mm, 16mm, 35mm, 70mm • Super 16 and 35 mm • Film stock--costs and processing • Film stock types: b/w or color, negative or reversal, fast or slow, tungsten or daylight • 1.33:1 aspect ratio / TV / 2.35:1 • 24 fps • Sprocket holes, audio recording • Later-- sound and film

  8. Magnetic Videotape • Analog vs. Digital • Interlaced or Progressive • Standard or High Def • 4:3 (1.33:1) or 16:9 • Digital Compression Codecs • Not ‘filming’ • Chemical vs. electromagnetic

  9. New storage and distribution options • HDD • DVD / Blu Ray / Optical discs • Flash memory (built in vs. removable, like SD card) • Cloud Storage

  10. Digital Video • Pixels: 480 vs. 720 vs. 1080 • Contrast ratio • Megapixels • I vs. P • Lossy or Lossless codecs • Color sampling: relationship of chroma to luminance / luma • Bit depth: the number of individual 0s and 1s sampled

  11. Illusion of Movement • Persistence of vision • 24 vs. 30 fps (transfers) • Shoot only in 30 fps • ‘shutter speed’

  12. Time Code • Vital to videotape • Important for timing / syncing • SMPTE • VITC vs. longitudinal • ‘striping’ • Time code vs. control track

  13. Our cameras • Canon XH A1 (mini DV) • Manual mode • ‘point and shoot’ • JVC HM 150 (SDXC card) • Class 6 or above • Brand matters • Georgia tutorial • Our settings: • SD(DV), QuickTime, 16:9 • (GL1)

  14. Lenses • Camera body vs. lens • Zoom or fixed (prime) -- critical focus • Optical vs. Digital zoom • Diaphragm / aperture -- f-stops / t-stops / number means what? • Manual vs. autofocus • Sharp focus, Selective focus, follow focus, rack focus, soft focus, swimming focus • Depth of field is affected by focal length, aperture, and the distance of objects from the camera.

  15. Video Shooting Tips • http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/shooting_tips/

  16. More tech later… • Now, the script…Chapter 1

  17. The script • Everything we produce, we write first • News is shot with a planned structure in mind • Commercials—good idea, put on paper, shoot & edit • Training video, sports event, talk show, newscast, movie… • PRE-PRODUCTION / Script

  18. Blueprint • Good director ‘sees’ the movie before he/she shoots it • When directors, actors, etc. read a script, they ‘see’ the movie • Every good movie is produced around a well-written script • Not only is the script the most important aspect of making a movie, it is also the cheapest

  19. How does it start? • Chapter One gives tips about being a writer. • If you want to make a great movie do you write it? • Hollywood Formula: AIS Formula

  20. Getting a script • Writing what you know • Determine a genre (action, comedy) • Determine a format (animation, documentary) • Plot Type (the way the story is told) • Understand what makes a great story (more about writing the story next week – conflict, exposition, rising action, conflict, turning point,etc. )

  21. Steps to a script • Concept • Treatment • Outline • Pitch • Greenlighting • Development • Rewriting • Production

  22. So, Read Chapter 1 • Use course outline to look for specific terms and content • Make notes of terms as you read • Watch for practice quizzes on the course outline • And…

  23. This week • All RTV majors and minors in a Practicum and started • Cannot pass 322 without it • Must sign up for your Project Shift • See posted sheets on PAC 117 • Must have and bring your book to class – print or electronic • ###
