2024 MUVC TRAINING PROGRAM THEME:  “A PACKET OF LIGHT” All cameras require correct exposure to the available light to deliver quality imaging. This is true of videography just as much as photography.  In fact, in videography there is an extra element - frame rate - which, whilst strictly speaking is not an element of correct exposure, is nonetheless directly related. So, for the first half of 2024 we’ll concentrate on the basics of exposure, and discover just how a camcorder captures “A PACKET OF LIGHT”. These “packets” are made up of the following components: APERTURE SHUTTER SPEED SENSOR SENSITIVITY (ISO or dB gain) WHITE BALANCE (the QUALITY of the light rather than the QUANTITY) FRAME RATE Once we’re familiar with these elements of exposure we’ll put them to the test during our Canberra field trip, where the challenge, for those who would like, is to film entirely in MANUAL MODE. Are you up for it?  Hopefully the answer is YES! 2024 PROGRAM MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, AND FIELD TRIPS November 2 2023 Meeting APERTURE - presented by Bob Antill December 7 2023 Meeting UNDERSTANDING WHITE BALANCE - presented by Bob Antill December 9 2023 Christmas Party January 4 Meeting No training due to time of year OUTLINE OF MOLLYMOOK FIELD TRIP - guidelines January 31 FIELD TRIP Afternoon excursion to Mollymook beach for evening filming.
