Aperture

Aperture

This is a diagram showing how to use aperture and what each one does. For most of our filming we shot on aperture f/22 as it lets less light and creates a deep depth of field.

        

As you can see in this shot, the actor is in focus but the background is out of focus. This is because the aperture would have been set at around f14 which creates a shallow depth of field. If i was to go back and do this shot again I would set the aperture to f22 to create a larger depth of field. we were using a dolly in this shot therefore next time i would also increase the shutter speed slightly. I would also make sure that the surface we were using the dolly on was smooth as the slightest bump on the ground could cause the shot to look really shaky.

New Wave

This shot was supposed to be influenced by new wave as we wanted to get a nice zoom out using the dolly to show how he is "trapped" by showing him behind the cage. Unfortunatley the shot did not work out as the surface was so un even.


Health & Safety

When filming this piece of footage we had to take some risks into consideration. One of which for this shot was that nothing was behind the dolly operator to cause them to trip up as they are walking backwards.
