Day 4 - Dream Catching Equipment and Techniques
As were are the students of NICC, our Dream:In participants batch consist of students from variety of disciplines like communication design, photography, cinematography, 3d visualization and advertising. And hence we will be catching dreams using digital SLR cameras.
So as per the schedule on the morning of Day 4, Jeeva Pathare (HOD Photography, NICC) and Shyam Mushtafa (Animation & Applied Arts) organized a special lecture for dream:in – nicc participants batch for teaching
- Basics of Cinematography
- DSLR Camera Setting for Films
- Discussion on necessary equipment which may come handy during documentary shoot.
In basics of cinematography we discussed, how to establish a shot, composition of frames while shooting videos, how to follow the action axis and a brief discussion about managing sound levels during live shoot.
The camera setting section included information on basic numberic values to be set in a dslr camera especially for video shooting. Controlling noise level, shutter speed, audio gain were other aspects of camera settings which were touched. Also we talked about how basic photography equipments can be used in various ways to make things little bit easy for us while recording videos.
Then faculties reviewed the videos shot by the team on Day 3, and they gave their inputs on the technical aspects and how they can be improved, which was again discussed by Avy in Dream:In studio session which we had in noon.
Very true Ankit, the morning session with Jeevan Sir will be really helpful for us in Tumkur.
ReplyDeleteShyam Sir tips on handling the DSLR will be handy during the shoot....
I wonder if there is a way to hire the microphones that we talked about, rather than buying them. They are quite costly I heard.....
ReplyDeleteAnyways, it was just a thought...... :)
Hiring is best unless the institution is thinking of investing in mics for itself and the students' daily training. It's a worthwhile investment.
