”Your camera is the tool,
You are the artist,
The rest is just an expression.’
I have been looking at the technicalities of shooting a video as part of my studio practise work. I have messed around with video on y iPhone however, I recently brought a book called: The Moviemaking With Your Camera Field Guide by Olivia Speranza which is brilliant for anyone that wants to use an SLR camera to capture video.
The book gives tips on all the basics such as; White balance, ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture and Depth of Field. This is handy for anyone that has an understanding but may need to quickly refer to reference for support. Further the book going into the problems you may have filming with an SLR such as the length of film you are able to capture. understanding all these problems makes it easy to plan solutions, rather than to discover them on location and be unsure of what to do. Anything that saves time in my eyes is very helpful!
the book also going into post production, syncing audio and lots of other useful tips that I will certainly be taking into consideration when shooting my video. The only thing I am yet to find solution for it how I am going to show my video.
