CAMERA BASICS CHEAT SHEET

FOCUSINGBasic Technique:

1. Zoom all the way in to subject

2. Focus

3. Pull out to desired frame

Important:

■ Always focus on people’s eyes

■ Autofocus mode is unreliable

■ It’s hard to focus in low light

■ Be careful focusing using small

LCD screens

APERTURE

Basic Technique:

1. Set to manual

2. Expose for subject’s faces

Important:

■ Try to expose so your subject

and background both look good

■ When in doubt, expose for your

subject’s face

■ Use an ND filter for bright

scenes

■ Use the zebra stripe function to

reveal overexposed areas

■ Use the camera’s gain if lighting

is still low with aperture fully

open

■ Overexposure = crappy video

ZEBRA STRIPES

Basic Technique:

1. Turn on and set to 100% IRE

2. Adjust exposure until most

zebra stripes disappear on

your main subject

Important:

■ Don’t close down to eliminate

all zebra stripes

■ Naturally bright items such as

practical lamps, jewelry, etc.,

should have some zebra

stripes in highlights

Basic Technique:

1. Set camera to manual white

balance

2. Hold a white card or sheet of

paper in front of lens in the same

light as your subject

3. Zoom in so white card fills the

screen

4. Operate manual white balance

Remember to:

■ White-balance when light changes

Color Temperatures:

Daylight = blue

Tungsten (interior) light = orange

Fluorescent light = green

Sodium street lights = yellow

White Balancing Color Effects:

Pale blues = warm tones

Oranges = cool tones

Red = green tones

Blue = orange tones

Green = purple tones

SHUTTER SPEED

Basic Technique:

Normal look = 2x frame rate

Normal: 24fps=1/48 , 30fps=1/60

Important:

Try 1 setting down for low light shots

Strobe Look/Freeze Frame = >1/1000

COLOR BARS

Basic Technique:

1. Turn on camera’s color bar

function on menu

2. Record for 1 minute at beginning

of shoot and turn off

Important:

■ If you forget, record bars at end

■ Refer to page 139 of book for

how to adjust on monitor

Basic Filters:

ND filters = reduce bright light

Polarizer = reduce reflections

UV = clear/protect lens

Color graduated = sunrise/sunset

Graduated ND = even sky exposure

Special Effects Filters:

Diffusion = soften details/

blemishes

Warming = warm skin tones

Soft FX = glamour/portrait

Pro-mist = reduce hi-light flare

Black pro-mist = more film-like

Fog = lights glow/flare

Double fog = fog effect

Star filter = star-like light flares

Important:

■ Many filters absorb light. You

may need to adjust exposure

■ Filters come in grades, a higher

grade equals a greater effect

■ Polarizer filters need to be

rotated to reduce reflections

CAMERA ND FILTERS

Basic Technique:

1. In bright sunlight, set ND switch

to ND1 or ND2

2. Readjust exposure

Important:

■ Don’t use ND indoors unless

you’re overexposed at a high

f-stop

■ Most cameras have an ND filter

switch near the lens

ABBREVIATIONSWB = white balance

ND = ND filter

AWB = auto white balance

= manual white balance

MF = manual focus

MODERN DOC STUDY CHEAT SHEET

The following chart is provided as an informal resource to help you discover and study some of the most notable docs of recent years (along with a few personal favorites). The selec-tions, categories, conclusions, and highlighted features are all subjective, which means reasonable filmmakers, professors, and fans may reasonably disagree with some of the classifications of the documentaries on it. Nevertheless, I hope you will find it a unique and helpful tool to help you research and prepare to shoot your own project.
