KS: Framing of Shots

There are various type and size shots that it is important we can define and appropriately use before shooting ourselves. It is vital we know the frame size so when it comes to editing the footage it can be easily matched up to the footage alloying it to be played smoothly with no jolts.

The main formats include: PAL - used throughout Europe
                                       NTSC- used in the USA
                                       HD - settings for video
HD setting is rougly 5 x the previous resolution images meaning the footage is crisper and cleaner.

The 2 main frame sizes inlude: 576,720


                                            1900,1080


We must also consider frames per second when shooting on digital cameras, this is the amount of stills which make up the shot. The school Panasonic cameras shoot at 25 frames per second and our premiere editing software has also been set up at this format so our group will be shooting at 25 f/s but on a personal Nikon SLR camera.
