In photography, exposure is the amount of light that reaches your camera's sensor or film.
- Camera Body
fig. 2, camera body, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- The camera body is a light proof box.
- The main parts of the camera: 1. Camera body:
Shutter
Image sensor
LCD screen
2. Camera lens:
Aperture/ Iris
- Exposure Triangle

- Third setting, camera ISO : also affect the brightness of the photo.
- Aperture / Iris
fig. 4, aperture/iris, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Control the flow of light entering the lens.
- Measured by f-stop (indicator: f/1, f/1.4, f/2 , f/ 2.8, f/ 4, f/ 5.6, f/ 8, f/ 11, f/ 16, f/22 , f/32) >>> lower indicator larger lens opening
- Shutter Speed
- Small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film
- Measured in second (indicator: 1/1000 s,1/500 s,1/250 s,1/125 s,1/60 s,1/30 s,1/15 s,1/8 s,1/4 s,1/2 s,1 s, 2 s, 3 s)

- ISO
fig. 8, ISO, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Refer to the sensitivity of film, it's light gathering ability
- In digital photography, sensitivity, the signal gain of the camera's sensor
- Indicator: 100, 200, 400, 640, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
- The lower the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain (Lower ISO -> more HD, higher ISO -> more grainy)
- Lens Perspective
- Lens choice affect: framing and angle of view
- Each lens designed for different purpose
- Lenses can be categorized by focal length (the shorter the focal length, the wider angle of view)

- Measurement in mm, (from the optical center of a camera lens to the camera’s sensor)
fig. 11, measurement, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Depth of field
- The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in focus
- Smaller aperture = greater depth of field.
fig. 12, depth of field, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Wide angle lenses: ideal for fitting large area, useful for landscape / street, because almost everything is focused unless the subject is super close.
- Standard lenses: offer fairly accurate representation of human eyes, both visual and angle perspective. (perceived as more natural than those taken with other types of camera lenses)
- Tele lenses: great for isolating subject that far away, because it have magnification.

- Smartphone vs DSLR
- Smartphones vs Cameras = Convenience vs Quality!
- Phone cameras are limited by size. DSLR offer larger lenses and sensor
ADOBE PREMIER PRO
This week, the class mode is dual class, we were taught by Mr. Fauzi. After Mr. Fauzi reviewed our last week After Effect lecture and practical, Mr. Fauzi demonstrated us how to add sound in Adobe Premier Pro.
As the beginning, Mr. Fauzi taught us how to add new file and add sequence. So, this is the preview of Adobe Premier Pro's workspace:

fig. 16, Sequence 2, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Sound
To add sound, the first step to do is downloading the sound. Then import your sound and it'll appear on the top left of your Premier screen. Use { and } to cut select the duration you want to choose.

- Color Correction
fig. 19, Color correction layer, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
Then, on the top left of your screen you'll see some color correction choices. Use that to adjust your color correction.

- Effect
Then, Mr. Fauzi demonstrated how to add effects like grunge, etc. The first thing we have to do is download the video and import it.

PHOTO STUDIO LIGHTING
"Light has to be understood before you can begin to control the end result in your photography" - David Bailey (photographer)
Black painted studio room without window : total control of light.
fig. 24, photo studio, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
Why studio light is important: to reveal (or conceal sometimes) line, shapes, form, space, texture, light, color, which are important elements of composition.
Photographers have to previsualise the light affect the subject matter, thus, it requires knowledge, craft, observation, organization, and discipline. It takes lots of times and patience.
We were taught of 4 different studio lights; continuous, flash, side, and Rembrandt light, they're all affected by where we place the light and how.
fig. 25, type of lighting, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Continuous : on all the time, you see what you see on studio.
- Flash : versatile light source, light can be bounced or diffused and balanced at daylight color temperature.
- Side : on side of the object will be illuminated, other side can be dark.
fig. 26, side lighting, source; lecture, Week 11 (01/11/2021)
- Rembrandt : Classical lightning style, triangular highlight on cheek. Main light placed to the side of the subject, and angled down from above two feet above the subject's head.

WEEK 11:
Execution and Post Production.
DESIGN DIRECTION
I planned to make myself in the center of the canvas, then, surrounded by surreal things, like town / castle grow on a fluffy things. I also planned to add things like dragon or any other mythical creature maybe unicorn also.
