– higher ISO film has larger grains in the film – this is why film with higher ISO produce grainier images
– tungsten &daylight balance film available to change blue/orange – colour light meters are available to testing colour – we will be given tungsten 500 ISO
– grey card – specific colour of grey in case you get the colour correction wrong then they can colour correct for you when processing
– slow shutter speed causes motion blur (generally 25 fps)- fast shutter speed causes crop imagery but jittery movements – this also affects exposure so only use this tool for aesthetic value as the effect is obvious and should link to your concept/how you want it to look- exposure
– use a light metre
– set the ISO to the ISO of the film – then set the frame rate – light meter will then tell you the correct aperture to use
– press up arrow until you get to f/s then set the number to the frame rate you set
– use the flat side of the light meter for accurate readings when theres high contrast in the shot – e.g. one side of the face lit and the other in shadow
– learn the f stop scale
– the small number on the light meter next to the F stop is 0-9and shows how close you are to the F stop
– depth of field calculate available on phone for checking whether things are in focus or not
– the measure must be used for measuring the depth of field – work in feet and inches
– change ISO slightly because bolex is 250 rather than 500 because 20% of the light is lost through the view finder and it has a slightly faster shutter speed (130°) so less light gets in
– sliding lever on the side changes the shutter speed (130°) – always keep fully open – sliding allows fade to black or fade in from black
– when double exposing , under expose both sides so the film doesn’t come out over exposed
– load film somewhere slightly dim
