Technical Experiment

Today, we experimented with how to do manual focus, and F stop on a canon E0S 550D, and experimented with using a Zoom Handy Recorder to record the sound. This was an extremely helpful lesson, as we will be using these when producing our horror film trailer, meaning we will be able to create more of a professional looking piece of film.

With the manual focus, we learnt that we are able to focus on one specific object/person, whilst the background can be blurred, rather than an an auto focus, which automatically chooses what to focus on, which could be something that isn't needed to be.

With the Zoom Handy Recorder, we experimented with recorded from distances, and how close you had to be in order for the dialogue spoken to be clear. Also, how we are able to sync the voice and film footage together in  perfect time, by creating a loud noise at the start of each scene so it is made clear.
