What’s New & What is It

The History of Camera and Photography

Photography has come a long way in its relatively short history. In almost 200 years,
the camera developed from a plain box that took blurry photos to the high-tech mini
computers found in today's DSLRs and smartphones.

The First Cameras
The basic concept of photography has been
around since about the 5th century B.C.E. It
wasn't until an Iraqi scientist developed
something called the camera obscura in the
11th century that the art was born. Even then,
the camera did not actually record images, it
simply projected them onto another surface.
http://gg.gg/ntqqw
The images were also upside down, though
they could be traced to create accurate drawings of real objects such as buildings.
The first camera obscura used a pinhole in a tent to project an image from outside
the tent into the darkened area. It was not until the 17th century that the camera
obscura became small enough to be portable.

The First Permanent Images

Photography, as we know it today, began in
the late 1830s in France. Joseph Nicéphore
Niépce used a portable camera obscura to
expose a pewter plate coated with bitumen
http://gg.gg/ntqv2
to light. The image on the left is the first
http://gg.gg/ntqv2
recorded image that did not fade quickly.
Cameras for Everyone
Photography was only for professionals and the
very rich until George Eastman started a company
called Kodak in the 1880s. Eastman created a
flexible roll film that did not require constantly
changing the solid plates. This allowed him to
develop a self-contained box camera that held 100
film exposures. The camera had a small single lens
with no focusing adjustment. http://gg.gg/ntr1e

4
The consumer would take pictures and send the camera back to the factory for the
film to be developed and prints made, much like modern disposable cameras. This
was the first camera inexpensive enough for the average person to afford.

Advanced Image Control

While the French introduced the permanent image,
the Japanese brought easier image control to the
photographer. In the 1950s, Asahi (which later
became Pentax) introduced the Asahiflex and Nikon
introduced its Nikon F camera. These were both SLR-
type cameras (Single Lens Reflex) and the Nikon F
allowed for interchangeable lenses and other accessories. http://gg.gg/ntr6o

For the next 30 years, SLR-style cameras remained the camera of choice. Many
improvements were introduced to both the cameras and the film itself.

Introducing Smart Cameras

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, compact cameras
that were capable of making image control decisions
on their own were introduced. These "point and
shoot" cameras calculated shutter speed, aperture,
and focus, leaving photographers free to concentrate
on composition.
The automatic cameras became immensely popular http://gg.gg/ntsox
with casual photographers. Professionals and serious
amateurs continued to prefer to make their own adjustments and enjoyed the image
control available with SLR cameras.
The Digital Age
In the 1980s and 1990s, numerous manufacturers
worked on cameras that stored images electronically.
The first of these were point-and-shoot cameras that
used digital media instead of film. By 1991, Kodak
had produced the first digital camera that was
advanced enough to be used successfully by
professionals. Other manufacturers quickly followed
and today Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and other http://gg.gg/ntsq4
manufacturers offer advanced digital SLR (DSLR) cameras.

Top 10 Tips for Great Pictures

try applying them in your own camera or cellphone.
1. Look your subject in the eye - Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture
as it is in real life. When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the
person’s eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing
smiles.

6. Lock the focus - If your subject is not

in the center of the picture, you need
to lock the focus to create a sharp
picture. Most auto-focus cameras
focus on whatever is in the center of
the picture. But to improve pictures,
you will often want to move the
subject away from the center of the
picture.

Lesson

4 Video Editing
Week 7-8

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

1. identify the history video;
2. cite examples of popular edited videos; and
3. edit an original video using cellphone, or any camera available.

What’s In

Did you have fun capturing your photograph? How did it feel to take a picture of your
family in their new normal?

In this lesson, you will not be taking just a photograph but a combined series of
photographs, which is commonly known as motion pictures or videos.

Which of the following images do you think is taken from an edited video?

A B
. .

http://gg.gg/nvn7e http://gg.gg/nvn8i
8
Yes, you’re right. It is obviously Picture A. The dragons are not real and it is
impossible to take a video out of it. Editing it into an already existing video makes
it fantastic and interesting. The first image is taken from the HBO series “Games of
Thrones” while the second one is from the popular Hindu movie “The Three Idiots.”

What’s New & What is It

How did taking videos begin? Who started it and what was the first video ever taken?

Short History of Video

The discovery of video interestingly

started in the 1800s with a debate of a
race-horse owner and his friends.
Leland Standford debated whether or
not all four hooves of a horse were off
the ground during a gallop. He then met
with a prominent photographer called
Edward Muybridge and asked him to
settle the debate once and for all using http://gg.gg/nvnw8
photographs.

Muybridge set up 12 cameras alone the edge of a racetrack in a line, to get 12

different pictures of 1 stride to gallop. Turns out that at every stride, all four hooves
of a horse actually are in the air for a split second.

But Muybridge had stumbled on one very important discovery. If you took many
photographs of one image taken very quickly once after another and put them
together-you get a moving image. Thus, the beginning of the “motion pictures”.

People then started to create and show

their motion pictures to others. The first
motion-picture showing successive
action is a short film of just 2.11
seconds. “Roundhay Garden Scene”
was directed in 1888 by Louis Le Prince,
a French inventor. Le Prince used a
single lens camera and a strip of film
(paper back then) to capture an
afternoon in his father-in-law’s garden;
Le Prince’s brother is seen playing the
accordion. The Guinness Book of
Records confirms this is the oldest http://gg.gg/nvnxn
surviving film in existence.

In the modern era, people are now very much into video editing. Some are making it
as a living like those in the showbusiness industry. Some take and edit videos for
fun while others do it for information dissemination and awareness.

Creative Techniques in Editing Videos

1. Use Cuts Wisely
The standard cut is the most common and it connects frames together in a
simple, straightforward flow. It is perfect for those scenes when no form of
transition is required. If you are filming a scene with a jump forward in time,
use the jump cut because this creates forward motion within the story. For
example, shooting a cannon firing and then cutting right to the point where
the shell impacts the target.

2. Master the Montage

Montages are a series of quick cuts that are perfect for showing a story’s
progression without having to go into too much detail for each stage of that
progression. This makes them perfect for showing a character acquiring skills
such as athletes or soldiers training for months or years on end without
having to focus on every aspect of that process.
3. Cut in on the Action
It is common for a videographer to use this trick when they want the viewer
to focus on the action on screen. The action event, such as a door opening or
a gun firing triggers a shift in the camera focus and angle. This engages the
viewer and cues they need to pay attention to the scene.
4. Cutaway Shots
Cutaways are some of the most important video editing tips and tricks to
master. They give depth to the story by shifting focus from the characters and
placing it on the scene. This creates context and allows for the introduction of
foreshadowing such as leaves falling, snow blowing, clouds forming, etc.
5. Match Cuts
Match cuts make it possible for you to make giant leaps in time or geography.
For example, using the blowing out of a match and the smoke plume that
develops to shift the scene from a crowded bar to the blowing sands of the
desert.

What I Have Learned

At this part, write down 5 examples of popular videos or movies you have seen which
you think are edited. Write the title of the video and the reason why you say it is
edited, See the example below.

1. Harry Potter 1 scene 1– a person is flying with a flying motorbike which is not
realistic but edited into the video.
