Photography is the art and practice of creating images by recording light or electromagnetic radiation, either chemically on film or electronically with an image sensor. Cinematography is the technique of motion picture photography, including both shooting and developing film. Key lighting, fill lighting, and back lighting are used to illuminate subjects, with different colored lights and lamp types like tungsten and HMI used to achieve desired moods and effects. Camera settings and lens focal lengths and apertures can influence depth of field and bokeh. Popular cameras for cinematography include the Arriflex and the Aaton, while digital options continue to emerge alongside film.

Kcc macro ppt1
Macro photography involves taking photos of subjects that are life-size or up to 10 times larger than life-size. To take macro photos, photographers need cameras that can focus closely, macro lenses, extension tubes, or reversing rings. Important aspects of macro photography include choosing subjects, proper focusing using tripods or live view, controlling lighting to avoid shadows, and selecting exposure settings like aperture that balance depth of field with image quality. Photographers are also encouraged to experiment and consider techniques like focus stacking that combine multiple images in post-processing.
Basic photography aperture and depth-of-field
The document discusses aperture and depth of field in photography. It explains that aperture refers to the size of the opening in a camera lens, which can be adjusted to control the amount of light passing through. A smaller aperture number means a larger opening size and more light. Adjusting the aperture also impacts depth of field, which is the area of the image that remains in focus. A smaller aperture produces a greater depth of field, while a larger aperture gives a shallower depth of field with less in focus behind and in front of the focused subject. The depth of field effect allows photographers to control which image details are clear.

Group 1 film theory
Eisenstein's film career began with his 1923 production of Ostrovsky's play "Enough Simplicity in Every Sage." However, Eisenstein believed his "film tendencies" started with his 1920 theatrical production of "The Mexican." Eisenstein experimented with techniques like montage in "The Sage" to interweave scenes. He also utilized concepts from music hall and circus performances. Eisenstein further developed montage editing in his famous film "Strike" using techniques like mis-en-scène and mis-en-cadre. The document discusses Eisenstein's early career and experiments that influenced his pioneering developments in film technique, particularly montage editing.
Camera man journal
The document discusses the role of the cinematographer in filmmaking. It explains that cinematography involves photographing the movie and is led by the cinematographer or director of photography. The cinematographer works with camera, electric, and grip departments to set up shots using lighting and camera movement. Choosing shots and keeping the camera steady and in focus can be challenging. The document also provides an example of allowing an actor to hold the camera to capture better facial expressions for a scene.
Camera movement and angles
Camera angles, movement, and techniques can be used to convey different meanings and impressions. High angles make subjects appear small and vulnerable while low angles make them seem powerful. Camera panning reveals environments, tracking follows subjects, and zooming allows dramatic close-ups or pull outs without moving the camera. Different angles, movements, and equipment like cranes and steadicams influence the storytelling and impact of visual media.
Editing
Editing sequences shots to make sense for the audience. The most common technique is called continuity editing, which makes sense of space, actions, reactions, time passage, event rhythm, and draws attention to specific elements. Continuity editing follows rules like the 180 degree rule and 300 rule regarding shot placement. Editing can be analyzed based on speed and style, with styles including straight cuts, fades, dissolves, wipes, and jump cuts. Montage editing allows audiences to derive meaning from sequenced images and depict the passage of time.

Montage
Montage was originally developed in Soviet cinema as a theory to create symbolic meaning through editing sequences of short shots. In current cinema, montage is used more as a practical tool to condense time and information rather than a distinctive filmmaking style. Modern montages avoid complex multi-image shots and instead use a simple sequence of short individual shots paired with music to set mood or reinforce message. Sports training montages in films typically show a character failing to train at first before undertaking a serious individual regimen to improve. The current common usage of montage has become more of a cliché, losing the original purpose behind its creation.

The fill light also lights the subject from the side at a lower position than the key. The backlight separates the subject from the background by lighting them from behind.
camera,types,working and functionality
this presentation explains about what is camera and how its works and different camera types and their functionalities
CAMERA
A camera is an optical instrument that captures still images or moving images and stores them locally or transmits them elsewhere. It works similarly to the human eye by using a lens to focus light and mechanisms like a shutter and aperture to control the amount of light. Different types of cameras have been developed for various uses like close-up photography, zooming, precision focusing, high quality images, video recording, and more. Modern cameras also digitally encode and store captured images.

Concept Of Photgraphy.pptx
The document discusses the history and basics of photography. It explains that analog photography uses film to capture images chemically, while digital photography uses electronic image sensors. It describes key camera settings and concepts for both analog and digital systems like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, focus distance, depth of field, camera modes, and sensor size. Photography allows images to be captured and replicated without error, playing a vital role in recording history.
Photographic and design principale
Lighting is crucial in photography and different lighting techniques produce distinct effects. Backlighting silhouettes a subject against the light source behind them. Side lighting casts one side in shadow and highlights the other for dramatic portraits. Artificial lighting like on-camera flashes risk red-eye but provide convenience, while off-camera flashes allow softer lighting by bouncing the flash. Understanding lighting types helps photographers leverage their advantages.
1. Photography Basics
The document discusses the basics of different types of cameras throughout history including SLR, TLR, pinhole, folding, box, Polaroid, view, wet-plate, and large format cameras. It also covers camera components like lenses, shutters, apertures, depth of field, and shots. Digital photography and key points like tripods, viewfinders, and file formats are briefly mentioned at the end.
Techniques photography
Fireworks photography involves long exposure photography to capture fireworks displays at night. Long exposures require keeping the camera very still on a tripod, as any movement will cause blurring. Estimating the exposure time to capture the exact moment a firework bursts can be achieved using bulb mode. Multiple exposures can also be used to combine images of fireworks taken at different exposure times into a single image.

Photography 2
Photography is the process of recording light or electromagnetic radiation to create images. A camera typically uses a lens to focus light onto light-sensitive film or an electronic sensor. On film, an invisible latent image is created that is later developed into a visible image. There are two main types of photography - positive, where the image colors match the scene, and negative, where the darkest areas appear lightest. A darkroom is a room made dark for processing photographic materials, like film and paper. It contains equipment like enlargers to project negatives onto photo paper to create prints.
What i wish everyone knew about
The document provides an overview of the history and mechanics of cameras. It discusses how cameras have evolved from early designs using glass plates and film to today's digital cameras. The key developments include the box camera, folding camera, rangefinder camera, SLR camera, and introduction of motion picture cameras and digital technology. Modern cameras use lenses and sensors to capture light as a series of digital images that can be stored, shared, and edited electronically.
Photography
Photography is the process of creating durable images by recording light or electromagnetic radiation, either chemically or electronically. It was invented in the 1820s but the first permanent photograph was made in 1826 by Nicéphore Niépce using a camera obscura. The camera obscura projects an upside-down image of a scene onto a surface. In 1838, Daguerre took the first photo of a person. France agreed to pay Daguerre a pension in exchange for publicly sharing his process. Features of photography include film loading and ISO/ASA ratings, single lens reflex viewfinders, lens apertures and shutter speeds, natural and artificial lighting, macro and micro lenses, and filters.

- 3. Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light- sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.[
- 16. Cinematography (from Greek, kinema "movements" and, graphein "to record") is the art or science of motion picture photography.[1] It is the technique of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film
- 19. Key light- main light on the subject Fill light- soften the hard edges of the key and balances the light Back light- light behind a subject creating a separation from the background
- 21. Color light-used in determining the time, mood and emotional effects
- 22. A lamp that uses a tungsten filament. Also known as Hot lights. Ideal for indoor locations
- 24. HMIs are arc lights contained in a sealed capsule.The HMI (and the MSR version) its incredible efficiency; it can produce five times the light output of tungsten light per watt i.e. more of its power consumption is going into the actual light output (Hydrargyrum Medium-arc-length Iodide)
- 26. This painting by Caravaggio shows how some exceptionally moody lighting can be achieved without backlight (“The calling of Saint Matthew,” 1599- 1600)
- 27. meaning dark subject against very bright background
- 28. Putting real film lights outside windows instead of relying on natural light – always worth it
- 30. A beautiful blue can be achieved with HMI lights and a digital camera set to tungsten balance
- 31. A beautiful “Matrix”-style green can be achieved by shooting with regular fluorescent lights with the camera set to tungsten balance
- 32. The effect of backlight is clear: it increases contrast, reduces “muddiness” and enhances perceived sharpness.
- 34. Bokeh consists of blurred point sources of light in the background. Bokeh makes images glamorous and visually appealing.
- 35. The Slanted Lens experimented with different aperture settings and subject/background placements to find these three principles for getting the most Bokeh: 1. Get as close to the subject as you can 2. Keep the background with the lights far away 3. Keep the aperture wide open
- 38. The Arriflex-S is a vary popular camera because of it's very steady film movement. This movement helps to create very high quality professional images
