Aperture Task

Aperture affects the Depth of Field and this is turn effects the amount of light entering the lens. So for an example if you're filming a low light setting, it is recommended to use the largest aperture as possible so the f number would be the smallest number it can be. This would be f2.8.

Aperture is known for its 4 key factors that affect it, these being:

• Physical Depth - Having physical depth behind your subject so you can see the effects of Depth of Field properly.
• Focal length - Depending on what lens you're using can effect focal length so the longer the lens, the more shallower of depth is.
• F stop - F2.8 or F22.
• Focal Distance - The distance between you and your subject.

In this clip, we show three examples using all different camera lens such as:

• The first one being F2.8 and we used a 50mm lens.
• The second one being F8 and we used a standard lens.
• The last one being F22 and we used a wide angle lens.

We filmed the same clips so it would show the comparison of the same place, with different aperture settings and we used the college's fencing as a makeshift tripod, so the shots were less shaky than the hand held shots.
