In this Workshop Jason was showing us how to use a camera and phone gimbal. That is a device that adjusts to the angle and postions equaly so that the footage is not shaky. You have to remeber to balance it accurately as if you dont then the gimbal will turn wonky and the shots will come out odd. Dont put DSLR on them as they are too heavy and the gimbal could bend and possibly break. You need to lift the black bar on the left so it is nicely lined up with the bar on the front. Also if the gimbal vibrates, it means it was not balanced properly and therefore you would have to re calibrate it.

Phone gimbals which is the one presented in the imagine above is much more simple, you slide the phone inside, attach it so it doesnt drop, it adjusts to the level and height of yourself and then you can press record and move the gimbal around, it will stay in the same position even if you skake it around. that is the whole purpose of it.

We had a session with our teacher about different formats of videos and what speed we should use for frames.

There are two types of video format: PAL format and NTFS.

25 frames a second 1/50 shutter speed in pal format for creating a moving image- cinematic films 

Whatever the frame per second is you double that for your shutter speed

Pick your depth of field and Change your iso 

The more frames you have the slower it goes and then you develop it further in editing 

If you want to see the movement properly like faster action captured then you need it on 25 the normal speed is 50

If you shoot ip too 240 you could stretch it open to edit in slow motion as you have more frames to play with 

You have to manually focus on 5d mark 2/3 and 6d

700d and 5d iv can automatically focus by the AF tracking
