For Swede, I'll be doing the role of cinematographer. Honestly, I have no experience with cameras, this is something very new for me; But the fact of recording a scene from a movie excites me a lot! I think that since watching movies is a unique and interesting experience, so will recording scenes of one.
So, to make sure I do my best, first I need to do more research on the subject and so I will be useful for the project and for my group.
Even though I have basic knowledge about some types of shots and angles, I want to make sure I have a strong base in cinematography. That's why I saw this video:
The Basics of Cinematography - Filmmaking for Beginners
For this post I focused on Composition and Lighting and These are the most important things I learned in this video for research:
Understanding your camera is crucial!
Mastering the Holy Trinity of Exposure is important (Open, Shutter, Speed, ISO -according to google generally, ISO refers to the camera's sensitivity to light-)
Lighting is essential for shaping mood and realism!
The three-point lighting setup are:
Fill light: Balances the key light by illuminating shadows.
Back light: Separates the subject from the background (adding depth)
Rule of thirds is very important for aesthetically pleasing shots to look at and for the elements of the composition to look balanced.
Composition is the arranging elements within the frame (frame within a frame, symmetry and patterns, depth, leading lines and rule of thirds)
This is all for part one, check part two (movement and color) because it's just as interesting!
