Answer :

1. Define the meaning of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and DOF

I) Aperture

• Aperture is a hole in the lens. It is the size or size of the opening in the lens that controls the amount of light. Larger aperture, more incoming lights. Some lenses have a fixed aperture, and some have a variable aperture to control the amount of light.

II) Shutter Speed

• The shutter speed is the amount of shutter time open or exposed to light. It is a period of time when the shutter is exposed or viewing the scene or environment we are trying to capture. The shutter speed is measured in fraction of seconds, when they are in one moment. More light will enter if the shutter speed is slowly set, which is used for low light photography and nights. Meanwhile, fast shutter speed helps freeze motion.

III) ISO

• It is the camera sensitivity level for the available light. ISO is measured in numbers. Lower ISO numbers, low sensitivity to existing light and vice versa. ISO enhancements will also contribute to increased seed or noise.

IV) Depth of Fields

• The number of shots that will be the focus that is managed by the aperture. Larger field depth means that most of the ‘view’ photos of the lens will be the focus no matter if it is near the camera or away. The depth of the small field means only half of the page or image is in focus, and the other will appear blurry.

2. Differentiate the purpose of camera angles and shots.

• Camera angle is used to set the posture or position of the audience to be more clear and recognizable than the relationship between the character and the environment.

• Example :

• Camera shot is the amount of space seen in a single shot or frame. Camera shot is used to display various aspects of setting, character, and movie theme. Their way or every shot taken will affect the meaning and understanding of the audience.
