Some successes I had were getting the camera-ready and knowing what I would record due to my story-board. It became a habit for me after the second day of figuring out what camera settings I needed from looking at the paper guide, such as white balance. A difficulty I had was the sound. Some of the shots I took required the camera to be further away, which ruined the sound quality.

On The Spot Post-Production

On The Spot - Post Production This was definitely the most time-consuming project out of all of them this year. Besides that, however, it was a lot of fun getting to film things outside of the classroom and put some own creative spin on my own work.  Choosing The Right Music I was inspired by a few things from the videos shown in class. For one thing, I learned just how important sound is as the actual video itself. The sound is able to captivate the audience by following a certain tone that is easy for the viewer to understand. This was the hardest thing for me to do as it required a lot of thinking on my part in order to captivate this same feeling- I couldn't just slap any random music and call it a day. The search for the right kind of music was the most annoying part of this project for me because of this. I would play some songs found on bensound over my project, but none of them worked out. A silly thing I found out was that Jazz songs actually fitted well in the background

The Camera - Aperture & Iris

  - The Camera - "Aperture & Iris"                What is aperture?   It is essentially the "pupil" of a camera lens, in which the lens "open" and can be shrunk or enlarged in order to allow more or less light into the camera sensor.                  How does it affect exposure?   It changes the amount of light that is able to reach the camera sensor. Large, wide openings of the aperture will result in brighter photos because more light is passed. A smaller, tight opening of the aperture will result in darker photos because less light is passed. How does it affect depth of field?  A large aperture will yield greater background blur, whilst a small aperture will yield little background blur. How do you pick the right aperture for your scene?  When capturing photos in bright/dark environments, a smaller/larger aperture may want to be used since aperture affects exposure. This allows for less light on sunny photos, or more light on photos taken at night.
