Color Correction (FCP)

3 Way Color Correction in Final Cut Pro

The Color Corrector 3-way filter gives you more subtle control over the color of your clips than the Color Corrector filter. The controls are deceptively easy considering the amount of power they give you over the look of your clips. The main controls are at the top of the visual interface tab—three color balance controls and level and saturation controls.

Steadicam

Steadicam is a brand of camera stabilizing mount for motion picture cameras that mechanically isolates it from the operator's movement. It allows for a smooth shot, even when moving quickly over an uneven surface. The Steadicam was invented by cameraman Garrett Brown and was introduced in 1975.

Time Lapse

Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second. The result is an apparent 30-times speed increase. Time-lapse photography can be considered the opposite of high speed photography or slow motion.

Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of under cranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.

Follow Focus (Focus Puller)

A follow focus is a focus control mechanism used in film making with film cameras and in television production with professional video cameras. It is ergonomic rather than strictly necessary; in other words it does not contribute to the basic functionality of a camera but instead allows the operator to be more efficient and precise. It is usually operated by a focus puller (often called the 1st assistant camera, or 1st AC) but some camera operators prefer to pull their own focus (the act of changing focus is called "pulling" or racking focus)

Six Component of Cinematography

Dear All,

Cinematography is writing with light in motion and the cinematographer is the principle author of
this literature. When making a film, the cinematographer translates the vision he or she shares with
the director and the production designer onto film. It has been truthfully said that the
cinematographer is the co-author of any film.


Below link explains with example the art of "Cinematography"
