  • Cinematography
    CINEMATOGRAPHY ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS • The filmmaker controls the cinematographic qualities of the shot – not only what is filmed but also how it is filmed • Cinematographic qualities involve three factors: 1. the photographic aspects of the shot 2. the framing of the shot 3. the duration of the shot In other words, cinematography is affected by choices in: 1. Photographic aspects of the shot 2. Framing 3. Duration of the shot 1. Photographic image • The study of the photographic image includes: A. Range of tonalities B. Speed of motion C. Perspective 1.A: Tonalities of the photographic image The range of tonalities include: I. Contrast – black & white; color It can be controlled with lighting, filters, film stock, laboratory processing, postproduction II. Exposure – how much light passes through the camera lens Image too dark, underexposed; or too bright, overexposed Exposure can be controlled with filters 1.A. Tonality - cont Tonality can be changed after filming: Tinting – dipping developed film in dye Dark areas remain black & gray; light areas pick up color Toning - dipping during developing of positive print Dark areas colored light area; white/faintly colored 1.A. Tonality - cont • Photochemically – based filmmaking can have the tonality fixed. Done by color timer or grader in the laboratory • Digital grading used today. A scanner converts film to digital files, creating a digital intermediate (DI). DI is adjusted with software and scanned back onto negative 1.B.: Speed of motion • Depends on the relation between the rate at which

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.

  • Framing, Shot Types, Camera Movement
    Framing, Shot Types, Camera Angles and Camera Movement 1 Framing Shots are all about composition. Rather than pointing the camera at the subject, you need to compose an image. As mentioned previously, framing is the process of creating composition. Consider: a. Framing technique is very subjective. What one person finds dramatic, another may find pointless. What we're looking at here are a few accepted industry guidelines which you should use as rules of thumb. b. The rules of framing video images are essentially the same as those for still photograph c. The language of framing is the identification of Basic Shot Types The Rule of Thirds The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production in which the frame is divided into nine imaginary sections, as illustrated on the right. This creates reference points which act as guides for framing the image. Points and lines of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up (or across) the frame, rather than in the center. Like many rules of framing, this is not always necessary (or desirable) but it is one of those rules you should understand well before you break it. In most "people shots", the main line of interest is the line going through the eyes. In this shot, the eyes are placed approximately 1/3 of the way down the frame. Depending on the type of shot, it's not always possible to place the eyes like this. The 180° Rule 180° is half of a circle. The rule of line-crossing is sometimes called the “180° rule.” This refers to keeping the camera position within a field of 180°.

  • Camera Angles and Definitions
    Camera Angles and Definitions Framing What’s included and excluded in an individual shot. Extreme wide shot A shot in which figures appear small in the landscape. Often used at the beginning of a film or sequence as an ‘establishing shot’ to show where the action is taking place. Can also be used to make a person appear isolated or small. Wide Shot A shot in which a figure can be seen from head to toe. (tighter than an extreme wide shot) Mid Shot Shows the figure from approximately head to waist. In a mid shot, you can easily recognize an individual but you can also see what they are doing with their hands. Close-up Head and shoulders, enabling you to easily see facial expressions, which gives the audience a better impression of what your characters are thinking and feeling. Extreme close-up From just above the eyebrows to just below the mouth, or even closer: used to emphasize facial expression or to make the subject appear threatening. Over-the-Shoulder Shot A shot in which we see a character or main object over another’s shoulder, often used in interviews or dialogues. Depth of field - This refers to how much of the shot seems to be in focus, in front of and behind the subject. Two Shot Any shot with two people in it. (not necessarily the same person twice as pictured here, unless part of the plot) Point of view shot - A shot from a character’s point of view Reaction shot - A shot showing a character’s expression as they react to something Wide-angle shot (taken with a wide-angle lens) - This has the effect of seeming to exaggerate perspective.

  • Framing Camera Settings
    Framing How big in the frame? - You’ll mostly use a close-up for interviews. Getting what’s interesting in this case (the face). Might vary for lectures, or to establish where people are. Where in the frame? - Give space to where they’re looking - Try to keep their eyes on the thirds line - Why not space behind the head? (creepy) - Why not straight into the camera? (very direct, use sparingly) What in the background? - Not flat behind the subject, in order to create depth, shove stuff in the background for interest (or pick interesting places) but avoid distractions - probably resist titling the camera, shooting from above or below, for more formal interviews - lighting matters (but we’ll come back to that in depth) When framing shots other than people speaking, use all of the same tips and tricks that you would in still photography (but remember: video cameras love movement, and you only shoot ‘landscape’!) Do experiment with breaking these rules but it’s good to know them first. Camera settings Let’s talk about the journey of light into your sensor, and how you can control it to get great shots. The journey is: (Filter)-lens set at an aperture- sensor at a ‘shutter speed’-processor The Lens 50mm lens on a 35mm sensor is like your eye; anything wider or longer than that will distort your view (this is often a good thing) Choice of lens length affects framing - what’s including in the shot - and by forcing us to move the camera, it affects depth of field (how much is in focus: see depth of field hand-out) Wide: objects distorted, lots in the background, (more in focus) Long: little in background, less distortion, (more out of focus) Moving the camera closer, and zooming in, create different results you can exploit.
