Canon 650D/ 700D T4i/ T5i Movie exposure

This is a hands on lesson in how to set a professional looking movie exposure. It deals with iso, aperture and shutter speed and also the use of ND filters to get the cinematic narrow depth of field look. The camera used is a Canon 650D T4i. The settings are identical for the Canon T5i 700D The lens is a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.

finally, a tutorial thats simple, clear to understand and right on the money...thank you for sharing your knowledge sir

[@geekdromesucks]

This is by far the most informative video I've ever watched on KZbin. Thank you.

[@stevocanuck]

Yes! Very helpful. I listened to this and went outside right away to test it in the cloudy day i'm having and the quality is definitely better! Just need to play around it more to find the best one

[@jaychambers7955]

Massive thumbs up. This is the best talk on this i have found and included all the questions I had!

[@mikecharbonneau7096]

Great. Well explained. I think after these years I finally understand.

[@theblankethamsters6418]

This was by far the best Video to explaining the basics. Just have got myself a 700d and was lost before this Vid. Thanks!

[@weirdsalad]

Rules for instructional videos - know what you're talkin' aboot, no hyperbole and no monotone voice........Job done Dave... Thanks :)

[@gamer151293]

Easy to follow and explained everything I need for filming with the 700d! Thank you very much for this great tutorial!

[@u3o813]

Beginner videographer here. HUGE thanks. I use a T4i Canon! Well done matey.

[@Bonezone84]

Thank you very much. Easy to understand and informative.

[@DaveHowTo]

Glad it helped!

[@joshcrabbers6200]

The most informative video, just what I needed for this camera you've covered everything.

[@BiddulphFC]

I certainly did find that useful Dave How To. I have had people telling me all things, but now you have explained it very clearly and I am a much better person for it, in videography terms that is. Thanks mate.

[@TylerDeanMusic]

One of the most helpful videos I've watched. Very enlightening. Thank you, so much!

[@DarleneSterling]

DAVE, can I just say, THANK YOU for this video. You cut my learning time in quarters. Subscribed!

[@TheDuerden]

Well here I am, extremely late to the party, but thanks for this video, this is my first 'proper' camera and while explaining something I suspect is relatively simple to those that know, you did so in a way that taught me a great deal. Appreciate the time you spent on it.

[@jordankade]

This was one of the clearest explanations I've heard, Thanks!

[@DaveHowTo]

yw, glad it helped

[@lt8451]

Still a good video for learning the basics. I just upgraded to an old T4i and realized watching this that the camera tells you what it thinks the exposure is by showing it on the scale at the bottom. Better late than never...

[@miguelfcervantes]

Thank you Dave. This video is very helpful.

[@AndyChaplinMusic]

Now I finally understand the role ND filters play! Thanks Dave.

[@heydanking]

Super helpful ... I'm trying to improve the clarity and richness of my vlog, which is mostly out in nature, and your tutorial is going to aid in that tremendously!!

[@pakola131]

Thank you for such an easy to understand vid, I've attempted to watch others that on YT about the same thing, but for a novice like myself its all been a bit jargonistic. Now, I finally get it :)

[@TheMathyeux]

Thanks Dave for this tutorial! I've lost so much time to understand how to set my aperture to get a bigger depth of field in the video mode on my Canon camera. Thank you very much :-)

[@rami8361]

At the beginning of the video you are zooming in and out - what lens are you using on the camera there?

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

This is so useful very easy to understand well paced video 👍🏻

[@thefilmcubano]

Crazy helpful for a beginner! Thank you brother!

[@aliasnate]

Thanks for the useful tips!

[@ghoststrokes62]

Nice presentation!

[@instaSHINOBI]

Great tips. We use a variable ND filter and it works well in cases when we are short on time to setup.

[@DaveHowTo]

Yes Glenn variable NDS are extremely useful and great time savers.

[@markdawes]

Hi Dave. Just saved my life!! Thanks for this video it is exactly what I needed. Mark Dawes

[@RoyAuckloo]

thanks really helpful and in depth tut

[@DaveHowTo]

The 50mm 1.8 lens is very sharp and great value (about 100 Euro online). It films very well in low light (cos it has a large maximum aperture - 1.8).I really recommend it highly and use it a lot myself. The other big advantage of the lens is you can get that cinematic narrow depth of field look, whereby you will look nicely in focus whilst the background can be out of focus. However you will need to position the camera further back to get a full body length shot of yourself ( a few metres).

[@Thugesh]

hey what mic do you use??

[@filmmakersheaven5723]

come on, answer Thugesh!!!!!!

[@Lumencraft-]

[@Megan-oc2ok]

Thank you! I learned a lot!

[@crocosmia77]

very informative video, tx. I have the eos 650d and find that the auto focus is very noisy when my subject moves. Are all the eos 650d like this?

[@MrAmrut1989]

I have a 700d and I have been having trouble with the exposure side of things. How do I get the arrow indicator to show on the exposure meter on the LDC screen?

[@Thekop_9871]

thank you so much Dave.

[@hughtodger3392]

Ta muchly. Very usefull. Is that Clapton playing in the opening music??

[@b3llasWorld]

Thank you Dave!

[@prabhakarbnglr]

Very helpful, thanks a lot.

[@jaafilm]

good tutorial , but why don't you put 100 iso ? that could help to reduce the brightness

[@dhoutab]

Johnny j exactly😂😂

[@FlawlessImperfectionBeauty]

Dave, your are my hero. Thank you so very much for making this so clear and easy to understand. I haven't found anyone who explained this slowly, and also helped me understand why each change was made, as week as cause and effect. I love my t4i, and I may add a 50mm lens and some filters. Which of these filters would you recommend for indoor filming? Also, this may sound silly, what is the base underneath your camera body? I'm looking for extra battery, and I've battled an old tripod I'm afraid will strip the threading under the camera body. Tips? Thank you!!!!!

[@Diggingherstyle]

Great video! ☺

[@gimmietheprize]

[@ResonatorProductions]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@ZeynabuLeVon]

Dave HowTo Thank you so much. This was very helpful and informative. I've looked at quite a few videos on this subject and yours has been one of the absolute best. I have one question if you don't mind ... which lens were you using at the beginning? I noticed that you were in focus and the background was blurry yet you were able to zoom in and out without loosing that bokeh.

[@JoesMeteorites]

Thanks for the ND filter tip :-)

[@fabulous-sport-outdoors]

Very nice video, thank you!

[@AboutSomethingPretty]

So helpful!! Thank you!

[@fatimazahoor4295]
