TITLE 3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4
Identifying my DSLR, SD card, hardware that I will be using to record my short film.
I will be using a Canon EOS 100D DSLR camera,
My cameras
will film in a choice of Full HD:
1920 x 1080 (59, 25, 24 fps), 720 HD: 1280 x 720 (59.94, 50 fps)
The higher frame rate is useful for making slow motion video SD:
640 x 480 (30, 25 fps), I will be using a Sandisk 32/8 GB SD card to
record and save my footage. I will upload my clips on
an Apple iMac running OS X Version 10 it
has: Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory: 16GB 1600 MHz
DDR3 and Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB and for editing I will
be using Final Cut Pro
Write a post explaining step by step how you go about using the Canon to film your footage
To film my movie i will use the 1920x1080 24 fps as this will offer the best quality for my production, you can access this option via Movie menu 2
Here is a set of instruction I will be
following when utilizing the camera.
Identify the file format you have used to record your footage
The canon saves its video files in MOV format, this is a common multimedia storage file created by Apple, it is compatible with Macintosh and Windows platforms. These type of files usually use MPEG-4 codec. The files contain many tracks that hold different types of data and it is often used for saving movies and other video files.
1.4. - STORE AND RETRIEVE SEQUENCES USING PRE-SET FILE FORMATS
To retrieve my files from the computer I will take the SD card out the camera and I will upload the files on the mac. I will drag the files on to the computer and open up Final Cut pro which will enable me to edit the files. When Final Cut pro opens up I will select a new project, and then import, my footage.
Basic principles of how editing video on Final Cut Pro works
Libraries
The basic user-facing file organization structure used by Final Cut Pro X consists of three levels. At the top-most level, you have Libraries. Libraries hold all content related to the media that you work with within Final Cut Pro X. You can have as many Libraries as you wish, and you have the option of opening or closing Libraries on the fly. Libraries can be stored locally on disk or on an external disk. You can even store a Library on a local disk and have it reference media from an external location.

3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4 – IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE PLAYBACK SOFTWARE AND DISPLAY DEVICE, AND ADJUSTING SETTINGS TO MEET NEEDS
VLC player.
The software i have chosen to play it back is VLC player. After I have edited my film together, I will export it in H.264 format. This format is an advanced video coding. It is currently one of the most used for recording, compression, and distribution of video content.
The VLC player is able to play most codecs without any packs needed- MPEG-2. MPEG-4 H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3.
It also runs on all platforms such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix, IOS, Android.
iMac and the Philips BDL6524ET monitor in order to playback your video
I will be using the combination of IMac and the Philips BDL6524ET monitor in order to playback my videos.
Specifications of the Philips BDL6524ET monitor:
- Brightness 360 cd/m²
- Contrast ratio (typical) 4000:1
- Response time (typical) 8 ms
- The aspect ratio of 16:9
- Viewing angle (horizontal) 178 degree
- Viewing angle (vertical) 178 degree
- Display colors 1.07 Billion
- Pixel pitch 0.74 x 0.74 mm
Cinema mode
There are five main settings that get adjusted by changing the picture mode: Color temperature, backlight, motion interpolation, gamma/contrast enhancers, and edge enhancement. Each changes a different aspect of the picture. I will be using cinema mode on the TV as it will make the images look very accurate, close to what I wanted them to look like, Sports/Vivid or dynamics will make the images look punchier at first sight. They change and add enhancements to the images making the picture worse.
