Camera Techniques

 Here are some more tips and tricks to get better cinematographic shots for your project focusing mainly on shutter speed and exposure 

 The three factors of film speed, aperture, and shutter speed will decide your exposure. The amount of light the film needs depends on its speed. The aperture regulates the amount of light that passes through the lens. The amount of light that strikes the film is subsequently determined by the shutter speed. Your image is always the result of these three things working together.

The shutter speed, also referred to as exposure time, controls how long your film is exposed to light when you take a picture. As a general rule, handheld photography requires a shutter speed of at least 1/60 to produce sharp photographs. If you wish to shoot with a slower shutter speed, it is advisable to use a tripod because it will lessen any camera shake.

Quick Shutter:

Fast speeds are excellent for stopping moving objects. If you want to get a sharp image of a moving subject, you must use a quick exposure period. With most cameras, you can select a setting like 1/500. However, different cameras have different possibilities. Higher ISO film will also allow you to utilise the faster shutter speeds as they are more sensitive to light.

Slow Shutter

A motion will be clearly captured by slow shutter speeds. They are frequently employed to give an image the appearance of motion. A moving object will be captured as a blur over the image if it is photographed with a long exposure time. Using slow shutter speeds is especially crucial while taking nighttime shots. They enable you to obtain sufficient light for proper photograph exposure. When using slow shutter speeds without a tripod, exercise caution. The likelihood of seeing the camera shake in the image increases with slower shutter speeds.

Determining Shutter Speeds

Fractional seconds are used to measure shutter speed. Thus, 1/60 is understood to be one-sixtieth of a second. The pace increases as the second number increases.

Shutter speeds such 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, and 1/500 are typical.
