Production Schedule and Call Sheet (LO2/3)

Production Schedule:


Call Sheet:

A call sheet is a document that is used to say who is going to be photographed, where on the location the model will be and the time the photographs will be taken. I didn't use this as it was a spontaneous shot.

Analogue vs Digital Photography

Analogue vs Digital Photography: 

Analogue photography is photography that uses film to take a photo and chemical mixes to develop the image.  

Positives of using this method: 
1: The look of an image taken on an analogue camera is very different to that with digital photography and digital photographers are constantly trying to recreate the look of analogue photography.  
2:  It is better at capturing details in black and white than a digital camera 
3: Analogue photography is more forgiving when it comes to minor focus issues than with digital photography. 

Negatives of using this method: 
1: It takes more effort to use an analogue camera when it comes to taking good photographs (as you can't automatically change the iso or aperture.) 
2:  As the camera may be old, it may be difficult to get it repaired or get the film for the camera.  
3: Unless you have a darkroom, you are dependent on using a photo lab to develop your photos. 


Digital photography is a form of photography that uses a selection of electronic photodetectors to capture an image and saves it electronically rather than on photography film.

Positives of this method: 
1: The camera on average is lighter than an analogue camera.  
2: You can save the equivalent of 12 film rolls of images on an sd card and  
3: It is easier to share your photographs with other people. 


Negatives of this method: 
1:  The initial cost of a digital camera can be far greater than an analogue camera.  
2: The value of a digital camera deletes rapidly and you may need to update your equipment more often. 
3: A digital camera can't focus on details when in black and white very well, whereas an analogue camera can photograph these details better.

Camera setting (LO3)

Camera Settings:

Manual
Programme
Shutter
Aperture
Auto
Sports
Portrait
Night time
Landscape
Macro



ISO:Film Speed- The cameras light sensitivity is measured in ISO.
Manual- Where you set both the Aperture and Shutter speed
Aperture Priority- You can only change the Aperture in this setting
Shutter Priority- You can only change the shutter speed in this setting.
Auto- The camera changes the settings for you depending on the environment you are photographing in.


Lenses:

Wide Angle- Would be used for landscapes
Macro Lens- Used to take photos of things chose up look larger.
Fish Eye Lens- Used so the centre of the image is closer and the edges are further away.
Telephoto Lens- Is typically used to sports such as football.

Depth of Field:

Shallow depth of field- This is where some parts of the photo is in focus and others are not.
Deep depth of field- This is where everything in the photo is in focus.

Exposure:

Overexposure- This is where too much light is taken in and the image is bleached out.
Underexposure- This is where not enough light is taken in and the image is too dark.
