COMPOSITION |
In cinematography, composition refers to the frame of the image and how the elements of the mise-en-scène appear in it. Composition guidelines must be observed when telling stories visually, as in filmmaking.

|
Focal Length |
This will NEVER CHANGE, regardless of the sensor used. The Focal length is the diameter in mm from the point where light rays converge in a lens to the digital sensor (or film). It defines many of the len's characteristics, including perspective and magnification |
|
|
F Stop |
F stop has to do with aperture, the opening that allows light through and into the camera. the F-stop can be referred to being the "aperture opening" the smaller the number of the F stop is the larger the opening is. The larger the opening is the more light can get through (Most common F-stop used is 5.6 and it goes hand and hand with shutter speed) |
|
|
Depth of Field |
This is how much will be in focus at a given distance. The DOF depends on focal length and T-Stop, as well as the circle of confusion, as well as more complex elements such as the lighting and contrast of a scene. But all other things being equal, longer focal length will have less DOF than shorter focal lens and longer iris apertures will have less DOF than smaller ones |

|
Storytelling |
Storytelling needs a beginning, middle and end. #plotlife |
|
|
Wide lens |
allows more to be in the picture ex:fish eye lens |
|
|
telephoto lens |
can easily zoom into far off distances |
|
|
ISO |
This tool is used to measure the sensitivity of light coming through the lens. The lower the number (100, 200) the less light can get in, the higher the number (1600, 3200) the more sensitive the light |
|
|
Shutter speed |
determines HOW LONG the shutter stays open. The longer exposures give much more light to the film than a 1/1000 of a second exposure |
|
|
standard lens |
a focal length that roughly matches the diagonal or the film or image sensor diagonal length of sensor size |
