This episode of Izzy Video is part 2 in my series on shooting video with a Digital SLR. Digital SLR cameras are excellent for shooting video indoors and at night because you can increase the ISO until you have a nice exposure. One of the challenges though is that when you’re shooting video, you usually don’t want a shutter speed other than 1/60th of a second. This can become a problem in the sunny outdoors because when you want to blur out the backgrounds (shallow depth of field), then you need the aperture open all the way. This lets in too much light which leads to overexposure, and you’ll see in this video, how you can solve that problem. The variable ND filter you’ll see in this video is this one. The full version of this tutorial is available to Izzy Video Members only, but you can download the Quicktime version of the trailer here.

It s just that I don t get serenaded in a crowded pub very often. iPhone MP4 Podcast File

Recently, the term mise en sc ne has come to represent a style of conveying the information of a scene primarily through a single shot often accompanied by camera movement. It is to be contrasted with montage-style filmmaking multiple angles pieced together through editing. Overall, mise-en-sc ne is used when the director wishes to give an impression of the characters or situation without vocally articulating it through the framework of spoken dialogue, and typically does not represent a realistic setting. The common example is that of a cluttered, disorganized apartment being used to reflect the disorganization in a character's life in general, or a spartanly decorated apartment to convey a character with an "empty soul", in both cases specifically and intentionally ignoring any practicality in the setting.
