Introducing to DSLR cameras
  • DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex 
  • It basically means a camera with one lens and a mirror which reflects the light, where pictures are recorded on a digital card instead of film


To get started best to use the automatic settings
  •  Set the dial to the green automatic mode.
  •  Make sure the lens is set to AF and not MF
  •  Push the shutter button down halfway – the camera will automatically focus on the subject
  •  Push the button down the rest of the way to take the picture

Exposure
  •  Exposure is the amount of light a digital camera's sensor captures when a photo is a taken.
  • Too much light results in a washed out 
Aperture
  • The aperture settings controls the size of the lens opening that allows light into your camera
  • You can blur the foreground and background that bracket your subject (known as shallow depth of field)by opening up the aperture with a low f-stop number
  • Alternatively, you can keep your photo sharp from the foreground through to the background (known as wide depth of field) by closing the aperture down with a high f-stop number
Shutter speed
  • Controls how long the shutter opens to exposed the image sensor to that light
  • Open it just for a millisecond & you can freeze a fast moving object
  • Alternatively, you can show the movement of a fast-moving subject by keeping it open longer with a slow shutter speed

Q: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? The Internet I used the internet throughout for our prelim task and main task mainly for research and when finding background music for our main task. Using the BFI Statistical Yearbook site, I gathered statistical information such as facts and figures to help gather research in relation to our choice of genre and our target audience. I also used Wikipedia to research existing horror/thriller films to get an understanding of what type of conventions a popular horror film has and their elements as well as looking at different distribution companies.  Camera We used the CANON 500D to film our film opening.
