In India DOP is a very frequently used term everywhere, than DP. And 'Cinematographer' is very rare to find.

Beautiful.Doesn't look like lit up by car headlights.

I read the five C's of cinematography as well. This is what the author says in few words:

 

1. OBJECTIVE: Viewer/camera is out of the action but it's a witness.

2. P.O.V.: Viewer/camera is part of the action PLUS viewer/camera is positioned close to a character.

3. SUBJECTIVE: Viewer/camera is part of the action PLUS viewer/camera IS the character's eyes.

 

Hope it clarifies easy & fast what the difference is.

:-)

Like your precised definitions.I think the definitions for P O V and SUBJECTIVE should interchange their position because Point Of View is related to character's vision.We show, what the character sees.

Thanks a lot David.

Hi all

I am going to shoot a horror film with 5D mark iii & CP 2 lenses.

Want to know about the IR sensitivity of mark iii sensor.

Do I need IR filter while shooting day exterior? Which one is recomended

between Tiffen and Schneider optics?

Nice interview.

Shooting "day for night" or "night for night" depends upon the stage and shot choreography.

If you are seeing much of exterior through the window then "night for night "is advisable.

Otherwise everything can be controlled by "day for night".

Thanks a lot zac for the information.

Do all lights(luminaires) follow inverse square law?

For Digital its more helpful to maintain contrast ratios than exposure.

Let's see if I can beat Dom, Adrian, Jean-Louis, et al to this :D

 

F-Stop is the ratio between the focal length and the diameter of the entrance pupil .

 

T-Stops are adjusted for light transmission efficiency, and this will always be a higher number.

 

Some confusion may result from the fact that an entrance pupil is in other words an 'effective' aperture - which sounds 't-stoppy'.

 

Hope I didn't just add to the misinformation ;)

In short, T stops are transmitted f stops.If I am not wrong
