(As well as shooting bits for my project, I also photographed Tom for his website and portfolio).
Currently editing and sorting through footage but seeing as I keep getting:
...here are some screen shots of the edits taking place
I used a 50mm lens as it is sharp, lightweight, versatile, and great for throwing the background out of focus.
As I had done pre-shoot tests I realised that I 100% needed to manually control the settings, I do this for still photography but had never manually set exposure on a DSLR for moving image. As I need as much continuity in the shots as possible, it is vital that the exposure stays the same. With moving image I cannot alter shutter speed as I would to let in more or less light when taking stills, so I controlled the exposure when shooting by keeping the iso as low as possible (because we were outdoors) and then altering the aperture. Ideally I needed ND filters to act as Fstops to let less light in the camera as a 50mm lens doesn't have much alteration with aperture.
Currently having issues with photoshop giving 'unknown errors' wheel of death-ing and then quality problems when uploading the gifs to hosting website.
I need to look into how to maximise quality but still keeping to the gif format.
I didn't get as much variety in the shoot as I planned/wanted, but it is definitely a starting point. I now know what works and what doesn't so I'm raring to carry on and shoot some more stuff this coming week. I MUST REMEMBER TO SHOOT BACKGROUND.
