| XF305 CAMERA IMAGE PROVIDED BY CANON.COM An overview of the specs: - 3 Native 1/3" 1920 x 1080 CMOS Sensors - 50Mbps MPEG-2 Recording - 4:2:2 Color Sampling - 60p, 60i, 30p, 24p - MXF File Format - Dual CF Card Slots - 18x HD L-Series Zoom - Multiple Bit Rates, Resolutions - Dual XLR Inputs Since the popularity of the HDSLR, many cinematographers don't bother with using a camcorder built specifically for video. However, there are still many advantages for using one - such as with the XF305. The XF305 comes with autofocus, image stabilization, and a 50mbps codec. |
The video above was shot by me and my peers. We assigned one another specifics roles that would be part of a professional production. We used one XF305 fixed to a tripod, one boom stick, and a pair of headphones. I was given the role of boom operator, and managed the sound within the production. No lighting equipment was used, the film was shot using natural lighting - which meant that we had to stick to a tight shooting schedule in order to maintain adequate lighting. We experimented with different camera angles, such as the rule of thirds, over the shoulder and offset group shot.
The film contains a three way (or group) conversation which required a more technical form of camera positioning in order to include all of the actors in one shot. We used the offset group shot to achieve this. Using this technique, we had all three of the characters sat in a triangle. The two passive characters are sat opposite each other on the left and right, and the character leading the conversation is sat in the centre - putting the focus on this character.
