LO3: Features and settings of camera equipment

 

Specific Lighting settings

My ISO varies throughout the cinematography of my product as it takes place in multiple different rooms around the house: some have no natural lighting, whilst others have slight natural light from windows. 

In scene 1 (the bedroom scene) I am using an aperture of f11-f22. This allows me to create a wide depth of field which is important for the scene as the audience need to be able to see far into the room and the dark landing. This allows me to fulfil the purpose of the cinematography in creating my horror as the audience waits for the character to see what the audience can. This creates suspense as the audience hope that it doesn't jump out at the camera/attack the protagonist before our character can figure out the threat is there. In this part of the scene the ISO is at 800 as I want the space outside of the door frame to be completely dark. I also want to eccentricate the shadows in the room.  

This aperture will stay consistent as it's also needed later in the scene. This is because the audience need to see further into the dark as the protagonist gets closer to the door frame. This is effective in putting the audience in the characters shoes as we can see exactly what she can: this helps to create more tension and makes us empathise with the protagonist.
