In order to practice technical components for the final task I have decided to add in a short portfolio of practice images that play around with the cameras functions (Panasonic LUMIX GH4). I focused on Shutter Speed, f/stop and white balance. I think this will help me figure out the type of look I want to film with and to keep things as neutral as possible so that the camera displays a true reflection of what the viewer would see without it.
WHITE BALANCE
f/stop 2.8, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO800, WBbluehued
f/stop 2.8, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO800, WBneutral
f/stop 2.8, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO800, WBwarmhued
F/STOP
f/stop2.8, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO3200
f/stop6.3, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO3200
f/stop16, shutter speed 1/1000, ISO3200
SHUTTER SPEED
f/stop2.8, shutter speed 1/8, ISO200
f/stop2.8, shutter speed 1/60, ISO200
f/stop2.8, shutter speed 1/1600, ISO1000
f/stop2.8, shutter speed 1/4000, ISO2500
From doing this task I’ve learnt to take an important note on the fstop and the way it changes the depth of field, although I like that fstop2.8 blurs the background and focuses more on the object in view it was nice to see the 6.3 stop stop giving a more ‘fuller’ image and displaying more of what was also in the background. I think for when I start filming I should practice around with these settings to make sure I get the best and highest quality images and footage.
