Week 2(02-10-2017)
In this week, we explored the camera Sony PXW-X70. First we learned how to open the tripod by ourselves without teaching. And this is the best way to let us know how to use and open it. After opened it we need to put the camera in the tripod. Second, we started to research the camera. When we started to film, we need to check five steps first(Focus, Zoom, White balance, Gain and Iris). Since the color of the object will be different under the lighting. The color of the picture and screen will restored to the original color mode when using the white balance under the lighting. Gain is to adjust the brightness and darkness of the color in the screen. Iris is to control the light through the lens. Also, we tried to use different things to see and compare what different after we check these five steps. In each step, we discussed what different and advantages to use that function. I think using tripod is the most important in filming. Since most of the people do not use tripod to film, the video are very shape and not clear. That make the quality of the video become worst. Learn how to use tripod is the most important step. When we need to film by ourself and no one can help, tripod is the only ‘partner’. It helps us to hold the camera, make the prefect angle, and the best quality.
Newspaper and magazines are the good material for us to develop our story ideas. Both of them can demonstrate the real life of the people, especially the local papers. Local papers reflect different aspect in the flesh, such as local economy, local conditions and local idiosyncrasies. Social science are working from a large and carefully considered knowledge base, so they can tell us the feelings and instincts.In the normal, people always carry a notebook or a computer to write down and keep the memories in their own journal. The story are factual that make the audience can more throw themselves in to the film.
