Faculty of Technical, Vocational Education & Skill Training Notes B.Voc. theatre, Stagecraft, Film Production & Media Technology Subject : - Basic Audio Video Production Unit 1 What is Cinematography ? Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling. Anyone can set a camera on a tripod and hit record, but the artistry of cinematography comes in controlling what the viewer sees (or doesn’t see) and how the image is presented. Film is a visual me- dium, and the best-shot films are ones where you can tell what’s going on without hearing any of the dialogue. With some basic knowledge of composition and scene construction, you can plan scenes using this visual language. Learn how different shots work together to form a clear, cohesive narrative and how to compose each shot in a way that is visually pleasing for the viewer. Understanding these simple rules will help make your films more thrilling and engaging. Basic Rules of Composition There are some simple cinematography techniques that will have a great impact in making your videos look more professional. The Rule of Thirds is a technique of dividing the frame up into a 3x3 grid, splitting your frame into nine boxes. Our natural impulse is to put our subject dead center, but a centered subject will look like they’re caught in a spotlight, and by dropping them in the center of the frame, it gives them nowhere to go. Instead, by positioning your action in any of the four vertices where those nine boxes meet, you create a balance in your composition that feels more natural.

    Color and False-Color Films for Aerial Photography RATFE G. TARKINGTON and ALLAN L. SOREM Research Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company Rochester, N. Y. ABSTRACT: Color reproduction by the photographic process using three primary colors is discussed, and the 11se of these photographic and optical principles for false-color reproduction is explained. The characteristics of two new aerial films-Kodak Ektachrome Aero Film (Process E-3) and a false-color type, Kodak Ektachrome Infrared Aero Film (Process E-3)-are compared with those of the older products they replace. The new films have higher speed, im­ proved definition, and less granularity.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.

  • Introduction to Basic Color Photography Edition Date
    SUBCOURSE EDITION SS0514 A INTRODUCTION TO BASIC COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY EDITION DATE: SEPTEMBER 1994 INTRODUCTION TO BASIC COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY Subcourse Number SS0514 EDITION A United States Army Signal Center and School Fort Gordon, GA 30905-5074 5 Credit Hours Edition Date: September 1994 SUBCOURSE OVERVIEW This subcourse presents you with information on color photography, including theory, exposure, and printmaking. Topics covered include the theory of light, how colors are formed, and color print materials--their structure and exposure. Color negative developing using the popular C-41 process is explained, as well as the Ektaprint 2 process that is most often used to make color prints from negatives. The E6 reversal processing and the two methods of making prints from slides are examined (color coupler (conventional reversal paper) and dye destruction (like Cibachrome)). In addition, this subcourse defines general quality control procedures. Since duplicate transparencies are often required, the generation process is explained. There are no prerequisites for this subcourse. This subcourse reflects the doctrine which was current at the time it was prepared. In your own work situation, always refer to the latest official publications. Unless otherwise stated, the masculine gender of singular pronouns is used to refer to both men and women. TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: You will identify procedures for color negative printing techniques, color reversal film processing and printing, and slide duplicating techniques. CONDITION: You will be given information from TM 11-401-2, STP 11- 25S13-SM-TG, and Photographer's Mate Training Series NAVEDTRA 373-02-45-83, MOD 2. STANDARD: To demonstrate competency of this task, you must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the subcourse examination.
