THE CAMERA• When filming our media practical, we used two different types of

cameras, the Cannon 750D & 1200D. We chose these two cameras due to them both having a high quality video resolution of 1920 x 1080.

• When taking the images for our ancillary texts, I used the 750D. This is because it has a larger ISO range, meaning the greater light sensitivity. This meant we could shoot in dark unnatural lighting and still have a clear shot. Another reason I chose the 750D is that it shoots 5.0 FPS meaning I was able to capture the smoke in the images before it disappeared. This was a very useful feature of the camera and helped me ensure our shot was strong and created the best shot of the smoke as possible.

MY SKILLS- MANUAL SETTINGS• When capturing the image for the film

poster, I ensured that a low aperture of f/4.5. This allowed me to control the blur of the image and ensured that the focus point of the image was the girls hand and the cigarette she was holding.

• I used a fast shutter speed when creating this image to ensure that there was no camera shake which would obscure the image.

• This image was taken with the ISO at around 100-200, this allowed the photograph to have little to no noise and allowed the hand and cigarette to be clear.

MY SKILLS- FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHS

• On the DSLR, I am competent with both taking photographs and filming video. When filming the trailer, I spilt the filming with my group to ensure an equal amount of participation, but when it came to the film poster, I took the images. This is due to my knowledge of the manual settings of a DSLR.

• This shows my versatility and that I am able to efficiently use a DSLR.

USING A DSLR• The DSLR camera was a vital piece of media technology within our final

task and ancillary tasks, without it, we would of really struggled. • By using a DSLR, we were able to shoot high quality footage and images

which help to make our tasks look like professional media texts that could be used in the real world.

• If we had not have used a DSLR, I feel the quality of our tasks would have detracted from their purpose and that they would have been ineffective.

• Overall, I feel that by having advanced DSLR skills, it was easier to produce our tasks and to ensure that the products were of a high quality.
