Week 4: Camera Settings

                                                  



Camera Settings on the Canon Rebel T6i

Yesterday I decided to sit down and tweak with some of the camera settings on the Canon Rebel T6i. I noticed the first day I shot the focus on the camera wasn't the best. Whenever I tried to film a scene the camera would go blurry and wouldn't focus properly. The camera wouldn't react well in certain lighting either and that really bothered me. So, I sat down and watched some Youtube videos to educate myself on some of the camera settings.

Videos I watched:

As I was watching these videos I was following the instructions it gave me. The information was super useful. I learned how to be able to focus on specific things. If you want a clear focus on the camera, you can press slightly down on the photo button and it completely puts everything in focus. I also tweaked with the aperture, what setting to put the lens in, the ISO and more. I kept the IOS at 100 which provided the best quality. I also learned to put the auto on sharpness: 1 contrast: 2 saturation: 1 and color tone: 1. These settings gave me very good camera quality which well benefit my project.

                                                                                       First Day on Set      Hey guys! I have a few updates for you, as you know we started the shoot of Panik and heres how things went!     First off, we started shooting around 7:30. As you know this is going to be a horror movie therefore we need to shoot at night to give that vibe. So my two friends, Kain and Nick came over to begin the shoot. In the beginning I was having trouble working the camera since this is my first time ever actually using one. After I tweaked with some of the settings I set it up on the gimbal, plugged in the mic to my phone, and began filming. Initially we were going to film scene by scene so it d...

Week 2: Story Board

  Story Board      Hey guys! I wanted to give you guys a little preview of my story board and upcoming things you should be excited about. First, we already have our film date set which is 2/21/26! Yes that's right!!! In exactly two days we will start the filming process. This means that the movie should be done sooner then anticipated which is always a plus. The editing process is going to be a whole other story because I still have to learn a bunch of thing with the program I will be using. Anyway, this little story board should give you guys an idea on what my project is going to look like.       Here is just a rough draft of what my film would look like, (don't mind my horrible drawing). If you break down each scene you can see how I tried to implement as much suspense as possible. I am really excited about the scene where the audience sees from the antagonists POV, that's going to be really fun to edit. I already have tones of ideas about the...
