Why is safety important?

Safety is important because it prevents injuries, deaths, safety quite literally saves your life and other people's lives. According to Google 100,000 accidents are to occur annually and kill people, morally it's important to prevent injury or illness in the workplace. In film different sets have different rules, but all rules need to be taken into serious consideration. 

Injuries should rarely happen, it's important the crew of the set knows what to do in case of an emergency, that is why safety training exists. Safety training proves how important safety is. 

You can never work in a place without safety precautions. The dangers are always there and it's important we're careful and cautious. 

There are various ways and rules to safety. Such as planning a safety protocol, planning is a crucial way to executing various ideas, analysing risks for safety measures beforehand is important to make sure the actors are safely able to work under that environment. 

Secondly it's important that cast and crew know the potential hazards. Not knowing is a major risk, it should always be discussed. Third thing is keeping the set clean, not keeping a set clean means a cluttered mess with useless stuff, wires and equipment all over the place just simply isn't a good look, and it's unprofessional. 

Another important rule of safety is having a planned emergency response, having a backup and making sure all electric supplies are good and ready is important. It's important as well to make sure the crew has mentioned all the hazards and risks above, just like any other workplace there should be clear and vibrant/neon noticeable signs letting cast and crew know where to watch out and be cautious. 

Remember be safe!

While a zoom shot only adjusts the camera's focal length a dolly zoom moves the entire camera toward a subject.

The History of Frame Rates Pt. 2

60 hertz = 60 fields per second. It is created in a 60th of a second resulting in a full 30 frames per second. It was chosen over the air broadcasting because flashing the same frame on screen was not an option that was technologically feasible. Engineers were also more concerned about bandwidth, something they were trying to conserve with over the air broadcast. Another reason to conserve bandwidth and avoid flickering each frame would be interlaced. The introduction to color factored in 1948, the FCC (Federal Communication Communion) put a moratorium on new television broadcast licenses as it tried to figure out what to do with the newly available UHF spectrum. TV sets access died off while they tried figuring out what to do.

Horror Lighting Tutorial

They talk about their setups in this video and the main one that caught my attention was the staircase scene they created. They put up two lights the first and 150 watt then they do a light with the projector attachment inside and they put an M size steel gobo that replicates the look of a four panel window thus giving the audience the idea this is coming from somewhere natural its originating from within the scene. The second light they use is the softbox on top of it so its not barefaced and they stick the egg crate on top of it to provide some directionality in the living room we put their third and fourth case of which in this case mul richarchardson they use as much as the same in the  projector attachment to illuminate a back wall.
