VFX Camera Basics Camera Set Up We shoot in 1080p, at 24/25 fps, which is the industry standard for movies and television shows. In order to make the video look good, and not over exposed, we can control a couple of settings. The aperture is how much light is let through the shutter. Aperture is measured in F- Stops. The smaller the F-Stop, the more light in the camera and the shallower the Depth of Field. The Larger the F-Stop, the less light in the camera and the larger the depth of field. This can also be used to create a background blur, also known as Bokeh. The other setting we can change is the ISO. ISO is how sensitive the sensor inside of the camera is to light. The lower the ISO the better. ISO is useful for shooting in the dark, or when your shot looks majorly underexposed, and changing the aperture isn't doing anything. We alter the ISO with the button on the side of the camera labeled FN. Shot Sizes XLS An Extra Long Shot (xls) aka Establishing Shot, is us...
