camera angles

Zolly
the brainchild of zoom and dolly the zolly creates the illushion that your subject is floting as the backround stedily moves away. although seemingly complex, this can be accomplished by simultaneously moveing the dolly backward and zooming. this tequniqu was used by hichcock in "vertigo" he used it to create the camera work for the effect scottys vertigo had.

Close up
 close ups are the best camera shot to use if you want to endure your viewers to the charichters or people in your video. there are three types of close ups from medium close up to extream close up. the medium cose up is a close up that only shows the charichter from wast up. the close up is where a spisific part of the body is shown. the extream close up is a close up that i concentrating on small details of the charichter like there eyes or mouth.

 low and high 
Low and high-angle shots are great for expressing certain feelings. For example, low-angle shots can either shower a subject with respect or paint the subject with arrogance. On the other hand, high angle shots can show the audience what some of the characters in a scene are missing (a handy thing to use for revealing conspiracies and secret plots).


 cuts
It’s not just a subject’s face that tells the story. The wary hands, the perspiration rolling from one’s temple, the clock slowly tick tocking in the background—these are just a few examples of scenes that will give your video and story more depth. There are two types of camera cuts that you ought to try and use:

• cut in—otherwise called “insert,” this camera shot focuses on another part of the subject.
• Cut Away—opposite of cut in, cut aways focus on other things, such as things or people in the background.

 over the sholder
This is perhaps one of the most used and loved camera angles, thanks to its flexibility: it is used in a wide array of scenes ranging from simple conversations to heated confrontations. What you will notice, though, is that it often involves two subjects. As its name suggests, this shot shows a subject facing the camera and another whose back (mostly the head and one side of the shoulders) is turned from the camera.

couler tempriture

in tv films, movies and music videos there is always couler temperature these can vary from a bright and warm orange lighting to a cold and dark blue. it is used to to mesure the describing coulers given off by certain lights and situations.

white balance

white balance is used balance the couller of the light  source.  it removes the unrealistic looking coullers and makes it look realistic.  Proper camera white balance has to take into account the "color temperature" of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.Our eyes are very good at judging what is white under different light sources, but digital cameras often have great difficulty with auto white balance (AWB) — and can create unsightly blue, orange, or even green color casts. Understanding digital white balance can help you avoid these color casts, thereby improving your photos under a wider range of lighting conditions.

we mesure couler temperature in kelvin (k)








to help change the couler of the image there are filters (gells) that are clear and coulered sheets pieces of plastic. this makes the image look more blue, orange, black ect. it can make a shot look a bit more warm or cold. the black sheet can make it look more like a moonles night or to make the shot have more shadows.


in 300 the image looks slightly orange this gives the film a warm look as the battle is in a desert.  this may also have been done to make the Spartans look more heroic and the pershions more sinister as they are filmed in a colder lighting














in other films the couler of the image can make a character look more menacing or more evil. this is done in the lord of the rigs the fellowship of the ring when you see sauron forging the ring. in this shot the heavy use of orange and red makes him look so much more menacing and evil than he dose in his armour.

this clip includes sauruman who has turned to the allegiance of saron because of this the lighting is cold and dark as you will be able to see in the video.

Cables

composed video (analogue) 

analogue transmissions can carry standard definition (480i or 576i signal) use of standerd formats such as ntsc, pal, and secam however the cable can only carry  one signal unlike s-video that can carry multiple videos. this cable can only carry the image.

s-video (anolog)

analogue cable caring standerd definition (480i and 576i) it separates black and white couler signals to achieve better images than composite however it has a lower resolution than component video. each pin has a different ground pin the fith bottom pin is used for holding the cable in place

component video (analogue)

the rgb distributes the couler in three ways (red, green, blue) it allows a full HD resolution however due to the nature of digital TV's extra conversion needs to take aplace this created artefacts (edge clarity)  this may be limited to 1080p.

vga (analogue)

vga is typically used for computer monitors and connects to video cards,  HDTV'S , laptops, notebooks and an array of other equipment it uses the same RGB method as a component cable.

it allows higher resolution, ranging from 640x400 all the way up to 2048x1536 

the higher resolution cables usually require coaxial wiring and insulation for higher quality. one of the down sides to vga is does not carry audio.

DVI cable (digital)

Dvi is a digital cable , meaning no loss in quality. it is often found on HDTV,S and video cards. there are three main types of DVI cables (DVA-D, DVI-A and DVI-I) 

the cable comes in single and dual link but dose not contain audeo. its resolution is up to 3840x2400

HDMI(digital)

HDMI is used on many devices ranging from computers, cameras, monitors, and blu-ray players

it is a single cable that contains audeo and video. it dose not loose any signal. vershion 1.0 allwed for 1920x1080p

vershin 1.4 supports 3d and 3840x2160p 

vershion 2.0 supports 3840x2160p at 30fps vershion 2.0 is the same as 1.4 only with 60fps 

RCA connector (analogue)

RAC cables are used to carry video and audio signals primarily used for stereo equiptment, often consumer grade. it is mainly audeo but it also has video the red and white cable are both audeo and the yellow cable is for video. it is used with different peices of technology like playstation, xbox and dvd players.

1/4 jack and 1/8 jack (30 mm) (phone connecter-analogue)

3.5mm is found on phones, dslr's (these cables are intended for short runs)

1/4 jack is used for audeo recording equiptment, stereo equiptment, guitar and bass leads

xlr connector (digital) 

this is the most common cables for microphones. it has three pins in one and is connected to the other end . it is ballenced on a 3.5mm or 1/4mm jack 

the femail is usuly the sorce, male is the imput due to the desine the microphone wont disconect on its own accord.
