I've went to film school and scoured the internet for simplistic explanations of aperture - to help explain it to other crew members on set and things like that. This is by far the best one. Looking forward to your ISO and shutter speed and lens selection ones. An easy way to remember the f stops: [ 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16 ] you double the number of every second one. Eg: 1.4 doubled is 2.8, doubled we go to 5.6, then 11 (the only one that doesn't perfectly fit, but close to 5.5) and 22. same for 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. Easy way to remember all of them

[@StudioBinder]

Great tip!

This is like a virtual masterclass for all aspiring cinematographers and even for someone who just like to learn. I just find it amazing that StudioBinder makes such incredible and easy to understand topics about film and arts for a layman's perspective. Imagine paying for a couple thousand dollars just to get a professor teach you these things, compared to this? I mean, this is already a bargain, considering that it is already made available online. Thank you StudioBinder for another awesome and rich content. Can't wait for more.

I would pay thousands of dollars to take filmmaking lessons from this narrator of Studiobinder videos. The superb British accent alone guarantees that I will learn the material faster. The thoroughness in breaking down the technical aspects of filmmaking would be a bonus; the icing on the cake, so to speak!

[@StudioBinder]

Is there a particular scene where you felt had a great use of aperture?

[@adriangutierrez3378]

@@StudioBinder The closing scene. Also takes place in an undetailed room to highlight the characters and show us how Kate lives. Large aperture. The scene at the beginning helps us take in the setting (suburban America) while showing the SWAT team clearly to paint a picture of seriousness and danger that the war on drugs is bringing to our door step. Small aperture. Can't forget THAT dinner scene as well with that medium aperture. I could be wrong though, this video did help me learn about the topic.

@@StudioBinder I'm a graphic designer/photographer studying cinematography they way you described the use of mid depth of field was the "extra". before for me it was either shallow or deep i never gave that much attention to mid-depth of field.
