Stop Motion Assessment


What I will consider for my next project is the quality of the pictures. On this one, at the end the photos look kind of blurry. Yet on the camera I didn't see that. Hope the quality will be better for the big project. The rest is pretty straightforward to me as I already followed a video course back in secondary and  I'm pretty satisfied with my production. I think, however, that I will put much more effort in the editing part for the big project so it's even better.

How the Camera Sees (In class assessment)

Part 1: Focal Lenght

Shortest (Wide angle)


Longest (Telephoto):



Observations: The model looks wider when shot with the longest focal length. I suppose that’s because with the wide angle, we have more depth of field so objects are compressed and look smaller.

Part 2: White Balance

Tungsten:

Shade:



Observations: Tungsten is kind of bluish and Shade is kind of yellowy but I find that it looks nice. This is probably because when we say to the camera that there will be shade (therefore no light) she automatically prepares so maybe the ISO goes higher or the lens becomes bigger in order to let more light in. I suppose for the bluish photo it is the opposite; less light gets in the lens because it converged.  

Part 3: Camera’s Light Meter

Far from window:

Close-up:



Observation: On the close-up we see more details of the face and on the other photo we don’t see the face. This is because, I think, that if one is closer to the object exposure is higher so the picture is lighter and we see more.
